'Ageing is not a big deal'

Kajol reflects on ageing in a new interview.

In an interview with Filmfare, the 50-year-old star reflected on ageing and whether it affects one's self-image. "It’s not a big deal. A reminder of whether you are heading in the correct direction in life. I’ve been moving in the correct direction," the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai actor said.

Kajol also offered her perspective on cosmetic surgery. She mentioned that although it is a 'dicey' subject, one should introspect before opting for any such procedures.

"Cosmetic surgery is a dicey topic. If I had a birthmark and if it was disabling me from getting somewhere, I’d get it removed. Victims of acid attacks and fire need such surgery. Cosmetic surgery, on the other hand, is the individual’s prerogative, a personal choice. But it cannot be something like I want good cheekbones, so let me have them. One should be sure whether it’s necessary to change that feature of the body. If yes, then go for it.”
