Mumbai: Bollywood actress Kajol says that it was her daughter Nysa because of whom she did ‘Dilwale.'
The "My Name Is Khan" actress, who will share screen space with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Dilwale', revealed that she was initially reluctant to do the film because of long outdoor shoots.
"I told my daughter that it is going to be a tough time for them, as I am not going to be around for a long time. Nysa replied nicely, saying that just because I love her that doesn't mean I can't love anything else," she said.
"I was so emotional with her reply. I was in tears just like a typical mother, but so pleased that my children made me feel to do those things that I love to do," she added.
Talking about her preparation for "Dilwale", Kajol said that she didn't have to work much for the film.
"I didn't have to work much for 'Dilwale', but yes, I stressed on a healthy lifestyle for 6 months before starting to work in the movie. I am very health conscious and disciplined. I like to go to the gym, like to have proper diet. Now I am happy with the way I am looking," she added.
The actress who is making her comeback on the silver screen after 5 years wishes that her children Nysa and Yug watch her forthcoming film.
"I will definitely take them to watch the movie. Yug is too small to sit in a place for a long time. He will surely get bored, but will try to make him watch the film" she said.
Besides Kajol and SRK, ‘Dilwale' features an ensemble cast of stars like Varun Dhawan, Kriti Sanon, Varun Sharma, Johnny Lever, Boman Irani and Sanjay Mishra.
The film is set to hit the screens on December 18.
