Kajol is not only a versatile actor but also an influential icon with her thoughts touching people, especially women. In a career spanning over three decades, she has always come across as a headstrong individual who lives her life the way she wants to. In an interview with ANI, the ‘DDLJ’ star spoke about how her maternal lineage helped her become a strong person.

“I have never paid heed to ‘log kya kahenge’ in my life. I was raised by a wonderful mother. I was raised by a mother who did not give two hoots about society. Actually, I had a wonderful maternal lineage. From my great-grandmother to my grandmother and my mother, every one of them has always behaved and taught me by example that nobody else matters, your life is your responsibility and nobody else’s opinion matters on that,” Kajol said.
