I was a brat, my kids aren't, says Kajol

Mid-Day | 25-Apr 18:54 PM

Since the birth of her second child with hubby Ajay Devgn, Kajol has been a break. "Yeah, I've had so many breaks," chirps the feisty actress when we meet her over a cup of coffee at Devgn's office in Juhu. In fact, she goes on to add that a break every now and then makes life all the more interesting. A quick Q and A with Kajol...

You're said to be the stricter parent. Apparently Ajay doesnt like you scolding the kids when hes at home since he is away for work so much.

I have to be strict because Im more of an at home parent. When Jay (Ajay) is around, its playtime. Our kids are used to me in his absence.

Seeing them grow up, what do you recall of your own childhood?

I feel very bad for my mother, granny, aunts and uncles. I was much more of a brat than my kids are. Of course, I was an angel when my mom was around; then I was a monster, a cute lovable monster.

Since you were a brat, ever told your kids how you shook the ground from under the feet of your family around?

No way Im telling my daughter I was a brat. And shes not reading the paper to know it either (laughs). When I was a child, earthquakes were part of our routine life. Id get whacked every day.

Tell us something about Nysa playing elder didi to Yug.

Nysa is a special child. The way her mind works is amazing. In this (matter) shes like Jay, thinking from every side of a situation. Shes not friendly and wont say Hi. Shell wait a day or so, while all the information is processing through her mind. Personality types, shes different from Yug, whos very friendly and will say hello to even strangers in the lift. Nysas very protective of Yug. When I ask her whom she loves more, she thinks and says its me. But I know.

At one time, you were said to be fiery and intimidating.

I'm still like that. Ha ha.. Im a better person today. Though a little more intolerant of certain things, my patience level has gone up as far as other things are concerned.

Your fans look forward to your movies. But you do such few movies that the time between two releases is a break in itself.

Its good fun. I need to enjoy my time off. It helps all the better so people can enjoy watching me on screen again after a gap.
