Kajol: I don't even try to understand Gen Z lingo

Mumbai, July 9 (IANS) Bollywood star Kajol, who’s a mother to 22-year-old daughter Nysa and 15-year-old son Yug, revealed that she doesn’t even try to understand the quirky Gen-Z lingo and sometimes needs help when needed.

“I don't even try to understand Gen Z lingo. I'm satisfied with just speaking good English for that matter. Good Hindi, good English, good Marathi, I'm satisfied with that,” Kajol told IANS, when asked how she keeps up with Gen-Z language.

But does she find Gen Z lingo confusing?

Pat came the reply from Kajol: “I ask for help. I genuinely ask for help. If I need it, if I don't understand it, I say it. If I don't understand it, say it in normal language.”

The story follows a mother and daughter who visit the late husband’s hometown, only to uncover a demonic curse, which threatens their lives.

She will next be seen in "Sarzameen", helmed by Kayoze Irani and is expected to be out on "JioHotstar" on July, 25th. The film also stars Ibrahim Ali Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran.
