Kajol on Navigating Marriage at 24
Kajol, a famous actress, got married to Ajay Devgn when she was just 24 years old.
She felt unprepared for the changes that came with marriage.
She was unsure about how to act or what to do in her new role as a wife.
One thing that bothered her was the expectation to call her mother-in-law 'mummy,' as she already had a mother.
However, her mother-in-law was very understanding and never forced her to do anything she wasn't comfortable with.
Instead, she supported Kajol's decision to return to work after having her daughter.
Experts say it's common for people who marry young to feel lost and that having supportive family members can make a big difference.
They advise open communication and setting boundaries that feel respectful and authentic.
