Kajol’s heartfelt message struck a chord with her fans and followers, many of whom left supportive comments. One fan wrote, “I wish you happiness always, Kajol, and may your children be safe. Your children are lucky to have you.” Another commented, “You have amazing children, Kajol. I love your family. May God bless you.” A user also added, “Great thought, ma’am,” while another remarked, “Raksha karna kyuki duniya me bohot bhakshak hain (Do protect because there are many predators in this world).”
Kajol and her husband, actor Ajay Devgn, have been married since February 24, 1999. Their marriage, a traditional Maharashtrian ceremony, has been a subject of admiration in the industry. The couple has two children, Nysa, 21, and Yug, 13. Kajol, the daughter of veteran actress Tanuja and the late filmmaker Shomu Mukherjee, has always been open about her family’s close-knit bond. Ajay Devgn, son of the late action choreographer Veeru Devgan, shares a similar value system, which is evident in how they are raising their children.
Kajol, who made her acting debut with the film “Bekhudi,” has since established herself as one of Bollywood’s most talented and beloved actresses. She has delivered memorable performances in blockbuster films such as “Baazigar,” “Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge,” “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,” “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham,” “My Name is Khan,” and “Taanhaji: The Unsung Warrior.”
Looking ahead, Kajol will next be seen in Kayoze Irani’s “Sarzameen,” where she will be starring alongside Ibrahim Ali Khan. The anticipation for this film is high, as it marks Ibrahim’s entry into Bollywood and continues Kajol’s legacy of powerful performances.
Kajol’s Raksha Bandhan message serves as a reminder of the importance of instilling values of respect and protection in the younger generation, particularly sons. Her call to action encourages society to prioritize women’s safety and emphasizes the role of parenting in shaping a better future. As Kajol continues to inspire through her work and personal life, her voice remains influential in advocating for important social issues.
