Beyond films, Kajol marked Women’s Day 2025 with a thoughtful Instagram post, where she reflected on her journey through a conversation with her younger self. Sharing a video compilation, she wrote, “Met my younger self for coffee today… She ordered a latte, I ordered an americano…And, she had a book in her hand and one in her bag, I had a Kindle… She was loud and strong, I was loud and gentler, she wore jeans and a t-shirt and looked at my jeans in wonder… She’s blind to the looks of awe she got, I smiled at how people seemed to smile when they heard her laugh… She asked me how I had become as beautiful as my mother and grandmother? I answered—it took me that long to see myself that way…”
