The Baazigar fame actress captioned the video as: “I really was raised by a village. A village filled with strong cool women. I learnt by example not by being preached to. And I can never thank all my teachers enough. The good and the bad and the in between. All of them taught me different things that had absolutely nothing to do with what u learn in school.” 

“The lessons had to do with life and came in handy just when I needed them the most. Like most kids I thought I wasn't listening but like most kids I was absorbing.. and hence the current me who is a beautiful amalgamation of everything I was taught and continue to be taught. #HappyTeachersDay #SchoolOfLife #LifeLessons #GratitudeAndLove,” added Kajol. 

Actress Archana Puran Singh commented on Kajol’s post and wrote: “Your mom is one of the most amazing women I’ve ever met. I’m totally in love”. 

On the work front, Kajol was last seen as Devyani in Lust Stories 2. She also starred in The Trial: Pyaar Kaanoon Dhokha, a legal drama streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.
