Women-oriented films are gaining momentum in Bollywood but Kajol says it would be restrictive as an actor to limit herself to just one genre.
"There are lots of films coming your way that are being written with a female central character in mind. It also has to do with whether you want to do that kind of film or not. I don't want to do only that kind of film. I want to do everything," she told PTI in an interview.
"There is very little good content being written. I think it is the fact that there are not many good scripts that are coming to you. But generally there is not much good writing happening per se," she added.
After her last outing "Dilwale" in 2015, Kajol is excited about her forthcoming release "Helicopter Eela", in which she plays the role of a single mother.
The Pradeep Sarkar directed film addresses the issue of parenting and generation
"We have parts of our personality that are subdued, lost, sacrificed along the way
"I love my music. Nobody stopped me from it but it just happened. I got back to it later. We should get back to the things that we love as it will make us better as people, make us complete."
"She used to encourage us to talk, like, 'we are in a safe place and we can tell her anything that we want to and she will not hold it against us'. We did not understand it then but when certain situations came in life, I understood what my mother was preparing us for."
"Both Ajay and I believe in having open dialogue with our children. We talk to our kids a lot and keep telling them to express themselves."
