Kajol is back after shooting two long schedules in the US for Karan Johar’s My Name Is Khan, where she is paired opposite none other than Shah Rukh Khan.

“It was absolutely great being back on Karan’s sets. It felt like I had never left it. We have been friends for too long. We had a great time. The film is very different from what Karan normally does. I can’t tell you more because Karan has asked me to shut up,” she says with her trademark guffaw.

Kajol had taken a long break from films to look after daughter Nysa. “Honestly, even now I wouldn’t have come back to work if not for a good maid and of course, my mother-in-law,” says Kajol, in-between shots for a probiotic drink that she’s endorsing.

And while she admits to being obsessed with her baby to the extent that “the only facet to my personality was being the child’s mother for a year,” Kajol says she managed to find a perfect balance later. “I had the financial security, so I could take that decision (of not working). I know of many women who don’t have a choice but to go back to their 9 to 5 job, leaving a month-old baby at home. Why, my own mother had to leave my younger sister at three months to get back to work. Of course, she had a wonderful support system back home,” she says.

Kajol’s advice to young mothers? Stop being a control freak and don’t be too hard on yourself. “You can’t constantly be wondering what the child is up to. If you have taken a break from work, don’t feel guilty. Sometimes, when your child turns to you to say something lovely, it’s a better reward than any movie role in the world. Just be confident of yourself. Today, I know Nysa and I can go on a holiday on our own, without a maid, or even without Nysa’s father. I am not going to go paranoid thinking I will be traveling with a child. It’s no big deal.”

Ask her if romance goes out of the window once a child enters the picture, and Kajol says with a laugh, “It has to. You don’t have a choice in the matter. Now my life is all about Nysa. The minute I say to him (hubby Ajay Devgan), ‘Baby, I love you’, I hear Nysa saying from the other room, ‘I love you too’. And I am like, ‘Ahem, that was not meant for you!’”
