Kajol
was
around
four-and-a-half
years
old
when
her
parents,
Shomu
Mukerjee
and
Tanu
decided
to
go
separate
ways.
Recently,
the
actress
opened
up
about
her
parents'
separation
and
said
that
while
she
had
an
amazing
upbringing,
she
would
have
had
a
troubled
childhood
if
things
had
gone
wrong.
Kajol
revealed
in
a
special
episode
of
Netflix's
Behensplaining,
"I
had
the
most
amazing
upbringing
ever.
I
am
very
lucky
to
have
been
brought
up
by
such
a
forward-thinking,
amazing
person
who
taught
me
so
much
about
life,
growing
up
and
about
being
an
adult
from
the
time
that
I
was
a
child.
But
I
totally
get
if
it
had
gone
even
slightly
wrong
what
it
would
have
been
like."
She
further
added,
"My
parents
separated
when
I
was
about
four-and-a-half
years
old
and
it
could
have
gone
very
wrong.
I
have
so
many
friends
whose
parents
are
together
till
today
but
not
in
the
best
spaces.
They
have
not
had
great
childhoods.
I
loved
my
father
separately,
I
loved
my
mother
separately
and
I
loved
them
together
as
well."
The
leading
lady
further
joked
that
while
she
tried
very
hard
to
play
her
parents
against
each
other,
they
were
too
smart
and
evolved.
In
an
interview
in
2003,
Tanuja
had
said
that
she
and
Shomu
met
and
'fell
in
love'.
But
'what
happened
later
is
not
important
except
that
we
are
not
together
anymore'.
Coming
back
to
Kajol,
the
actress
in
a
recent
interview
had
revealed
that
her
mother
always
thought
of
her
as
an
emotionally
mature
person,
who
deserved
to
know
things
as
they
were
including
her
parents'
separation.
With
respect
to
work,
Kajol
was
recently
seen
in
Renuka
Shahane's
Tribhanga
alongside
Tanvi
Azmi
and
Mithila
Palkar.
