Ahead of Father’s Day 2022, Ajay Devgn sat for a candid conversation with the Hindustan Times. The doting daddy shared that the concept of ‘strict parenting’ belongs to a bygone era, and with changing times, today’s generation call for a friendly approach. He further talked about his father, Veeru Devgn, who was an action choreographer, and revealed that he was a rigorous father to him. In his words:

“Today parenting is a full-time passion. You must be protective about your kids but you also need to be friends with them. The need to instil good values in them; the need to discipline them is definitely important. However, the way the world is evolving, “strictness” per se, has no place in parenting. When I was growing up, my father was a strict man. However, I understood the reason behind his being strict. Kajol’s parents did a fantastic job of bringing her up.”

In the same interview, Ajay revealed that as a father, he has a lot of candid conversations with his kids, Nysa and Yug. He also said how he wants them to stay grounded human beings just like him and his actress-wife, Kajol, despite enjoying celebrity status. Ajay can be quoted as saying:

“Me and Kajol explain to them what is right and wrong and allow them to imbibe things. Of course, they make mistakes, of course they disobey on occasion. When that happens, there are more conversations. Both Kajol and I are grounded as people despite our celebrity status. We want our children to be grounded too.”
