Kajol opened up about parenting in the latest episode of Two Much, hosted by her and Twinkle Khanna, with guests Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan. The actor shared a personal story about her son Yug and gave a simple piece of advice for parents: “Listen to them. Just listen to them.”

Kajol on listening to children

During the episode, Twinkle and Kajol asked Alia and Varun how parenthood had changed their lives. Both admitted it had a significant impact. When Alia asked for a parenting tip, Kajol highlighted the importance of paying attention to what children say, noting that adults often dismiss their words because they are “just kids.”

Kajol recalled a memorable conversation with her son: “I remember that my son at 8 years old turned around and at one point asked me this: ‘How much do you love yourself?’ I said I love myself maybe like 60-70% of the time. The 30% is off and on, and he was like, 'No you have to love yourself 100% of the time.' I heard it and have kept that in mind ever since.”

Yug turned 15 last month, and Kajol shared a birthday message for him, writing: “Happy happy birthday to this little man! Ur smile is the bestest thing in the whole wide world.. May we always be arm in arm and laugh at the weirdest stuff! Love you Yug.”
