Kajol and Ajay Devgn, who have been married for more than 26 years, are once again speaking openly on the state of love and relationships in today’s generation.
The recent discussion was triggered by Kajol’s unconventional idea during her talk show Two Much, where she said, “What says you will get married to the right person at the right time? So, you should have a renewal option. And if there’s an expiry date, then we don’t have to suffer for too long.”
In response, Devgn voiced concern that the word “love” itself is being diluted in modern usage. Speaking to the BookMyShow YouTube channel during promotions of his film, he said: “From where I see, it has become more casual than what it was. The word love has been used so much unnecessarily that it has lost its meaning. In our generation, you reached a point where you said ‘I love you’. Before that, it was whatever it was, ‘like you’ or whatever. But I think, right now, people don’t understand the depth of that word so it has been overused.”
He went on: “Now every message has a heart emoji with it. All messages just end with ‘love’.” Speaking alongside actor R Madhavan, Devgn and Madhavan discussed how expressions of love today often feel trivialised. Madhavan commented that love had once carried a serious weight even in small gestures. He said, “There was a great amount of satisfaction in getting your love at one point of time. I really hope the younger generation can feel the kind of comfort we felt when we were in the company of someone we loved. Nowadays, you can compare that to the crazy love you feel for your pets, which is unconditional. I wish you could feel it for another human being.”
Devgn countered with the observation, “The problem is that you love your pets because you know that they won’t ask for anything in return.” The remarks come against the backdrop of Kajol’s earlier humorous admission that her secret to a long-marriage included “partial deafness and selective amnesia”.
With the duo’s candid discussion, the spotlight turns to how the concept of love and commitment is evolving in today’s society and whether its depth is being lost in casual expressions.
