A question asked by IWMBuzz’s journalist Komal Vishwakarma, “Motherhood’s meaning has changed, from your vision what is the meaning of being a mother and becoming a mother? Was answered by Kajol very deeply and simply.
Kajol’s answer was,
“Maybe there will be changes in society, but for me, the meaning of mother has not changed. A mother is made, not born. When you put your child’s well-being above society, when you go to every extent for his well-being, then you become a mother. Maa jaisi thi, woh hai aur waise hi rahegi. Maa’s definition can never change.”
The trailer of the film Maa, directed by Vishal Furia, released on Thursday and Kajol is seen in her most powerful avatar till date. The film is a mythological horror, in which Kajol is playing the role of a mother who takes the form of Kali herself to save her daughter from a dangerous curse.
