Kajol's Evolving Views on Marriage and Roles
Kajol, a famous actress, has shared her thoughts on marriage over the years.
When she first got married, she said she didn't want to follow traditional roles because she didn't want a typical marriage.
Later, she said her marriage was a mix of traditional and modern roles.
Recently, she suggested that marriages should have an expiry date, like a contract that can be renewed.
A doctor explained that people's views on marriage change over time.
At first, they want freedom and equality.
Later, they learn to balance responsibilities and compromise.
Finally, they might question if marriage should last forever.
The doctor says the healthiest marriages are those where both people share responsibilities, respect each other's individuality, and talk openly about their feelings.
Kajol initially rejected stereotypical marital roles to avoid a stereotypical marriage.
Over time, she described her marriage as a balance of traditional and modern roles.
