"I'm so very loved and therefore so very blessed": Kajol celebrates 'National Parents' Day' with heartfelt post
Mumbai, July 26
Bollywood actor Kajol shared a heartfelt message on the occasion of National Parents' Day, which is celebrated every fourth Sunday of July in America.
Kajol said becoming a parent gave her a deeper understanding of the unconditional love and selflessness that parents experience.
"#Happyparentsday .. We are all parents now and the sheer responsibility of being a parent is something that u truly don't understand till it happens to you.. and u never know how much ur parents love u and have sacrificed for u till it happens to u," she wrote on her Instagram handle.
The actor, who shares daughter Nysa and son Yug with husband Ajay Devgn, said parenthood has made her appreciate the unwavering support she received from her family while growing up.
Calling it a "gratitude post", Kajol thanked her parents for their unconditional love and sacrifices over the years.
"So this is a gratitude post to all my parents for loving me so much. I'm so very loved and therefore so very blessed," she added.
Nysa is the daughter of actors Ajay and Kajol, who got married in 1999. The star couple welcomed daughter Nysa on April 20, 2003. Seven years later, their son Yug was born on September 13, 2010.
Kajol has often spoken about the importance of family and balancing motherhood with her acting career. The actor frequently shares glimpses of her personal life and family moments with fans on social media.
Kajol is the elder daughter of Tanuja and Shomu Mukherjee. She has a younger sister, Tanishaa.

Beautiful message. But why are we celebrating an American holiday? We have our own Parents' Day in India too on February 14th and July 25th as per the Indian calendar. Shouldn't we respect our own traditions first?
Kajol and Ajay are such a goals couple. Their family looks so grounded despite being celebrities. Love how she balances work and motherhood. Makes us believe in family values. ❤️
Become a parent myself recently and Kajol's words hit different now. You truly don't understand your parents' love until you have your own kids. Every Indian can relate to this post on a spiritual level. 🙌
Sweet post but I wish celebrities would use this platform to talk about real issues like the struggles of single parents or families with special needs children. Still, appreciate her gratitude. 😊
Nysa and Yug are so lucky to have parents like Kajol and Ajay. In a world where celebrity families often get messy, this one stands out. And yes, parents are our biggest blessings. No doubt. 🌸
I'm from the US and didn't realize National Parents' Day was a thing for us too. But reading Kajol's post,
