Ajay Devgan maintained his usual straight face, while wife Kajol needed no excuse to indulge in peals of laughter. This star couple made a public appearance recently to promote Zee TV’s forthcoming dance show Rock N Roll Family, which will have them as judges along with Tanuja
The television show will definitely serve as the ideal prelude to the release of Devgan’s directorial debut U, Me Aur Hum. The film is ready to hit theatres in April and features the actor couple in lead. To stoke the fire of curiosity even further, Devgan and Kajol were even ready to offer their fans a sneak peek into their picture perfect household—protected from the glare of media till recently.
“We make sure we have enough time for ourselves and our daughter Nysa even if we are busy shooting for films, and now for television,” says Devgan, in his usual serious tone. The actor-turned-director meticulously answered the questions, while his star wife looked on proudly at him through the better part of the interview.
Even eight years after marriage, the love seemed to be intact. As they chatted with me, the cheerful Kajol whispered sweet nothings into her husband’s ears and even patted him lovingly. Devgan, even though enjoyed his wife’s attention, looked embarrassed at times. However, the topic of his daughter made him more comfortable and forthcoming. “Nysa loves to play music and she ensures that all of us, including my parents, take part in the dancing,” he says. “Of the two of us, Kajol is stricter with her. I am more lenient since I don’t get to spend as much time with Nysa as her mother does.”
To add to the right dose of drama and emotion, the couple made sure to gush about the virtues of joint family at the slightest opportunity. “I have always lived in a joint family with my grandmother and aunts. Thankfully, when I got married and became part of a new family, I did not need to make any major adjustment,” says Kajol That made her dear husband look more indulgent.
As we quizzed the former leading lady on whether she misses her busy film career, we managed to draw some quotable quotes. “Not at all. I don’t have a single dull moment. There is lot happening to keep me busy,” says Kajol. “Besides, Ajay always encourages me to work.” At this point, Devgan adds, “It is she who decides about her work.”
Even as the happy and content housewife chatted about her new life and role, we managed to get a glimpse of the carefree girl in her. She opened her make-up box, ignoring curious eyes fixed on them, and went on to apply lipstick. And that called for her husband’s intervention. “ Kajol , for God’s sake, put that back,” Devgan chided her in a mock-urgent tone. Kajol obliged in no time. She surely enjoys being the obedient wife.
