Kajol about parenting Nysa Devgn

During her appearance on Lilly Singh's podcast, Kajol was seen discussing Gen Z parenting hacks. While talking to the host, Kajol opened up about her relationship with Nysa, admitting that it was a relationship they had to work on. "I have a lot of talks with her, I talk to her through things. It's a relationship that we had to build. Hormones hit, and she was 12. And we were all over the place. We were fighting, and we were both irrational at times. We were both illogical at times. Being the adult, I stood up, and I said, I should be a little more rational. I decided that I am not going to fight with her that much; I'm going to try to talk to her. As much as I can talk at her till she starts listening to me. And work with her," Kajol revealed.

The actress further admitted that there were three years where she struggled while parenting, revealing what her biggest learning was from that time. "We both struggled for nearly three years. Both of us were like, I don't want to listen to you, I don't want to talk to you. But eventually it became conversations, long conversations. Then I realised that it was more about just me sitting down and listening to her. It was not about talking so much. It was just about giving her space to talk herself and to be heard. That made the biggest difference. That was my biggest learning," she added.
