Kajol: Women shouldn't forget their identity after turning mothers

Actor Kajol believes women need to realise that they have their own identity even after embracing motherhood.

Kajol, who will be seen as a single mother in her upcoming Helicopter Eela, feels motherhood can be so consuming that it can make women forget themselves.


"It's very normal and natural. It happens to everyone, who gets so involved in the tag of being a mother. You become so much of a mom that you forget that a piece of yourself also belongs to you."

The Pradeep Sarkar-directed film also stars National Award winning actor, Riddhi Sen who will be playing Kajol's son, along with Neha Dhupia and Tota Roy Chowdhary.

Kajol, who also celebrated her birthday at the trailer launch of Helicopter Eela, said motherhood is not about being a caretaker.

"You have to realise that you have an identity of your own, that you have feelings, emotions and everything that makes up a human being. You have to realise that you are not just a caretaker mom," she said.

Produced by Ajay Devgn, Helicopter Eela is set to release on September 7.

TroyBoi returns to his Indian roots with Rootz EP using Lata Mangeshkar’s voice to redefine British diaspora music

Highlights:

  • TroyBoi’s five-track EP Rootz is a personal return to the sounds of his childhood, released via Ultra Records in September 2025.
  • The single Kabhi uses an officially cleared sample of Lata Mangeshkar’s vocal from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
  • Collaborations with Amrit Maan, Jazzy B and BombayMami plug Punjabi, Bhangra and south-Asian textures directly into modern trap and bass production.
  • This EP is part of a wider wave: British artists born into diasporas are using heritage not as garnish but as foundation.

Some albums hit you in ways you don’t see coming. Rootz is one of them. Not just another trap EP. TroyBoi, the London-born producer known for global bass and trap, has made something that’s also deeply personal. He didn’t just want to make music that bangs in clubs; instead, he wanted to reach back to the India of his childhood. And he did it with Rootz.

The track everyone’s talking about is Kabhi. Because it’s not just sampling Bollywood. Lata Mangeshkar’s voice was officially cleared for use on a non-Bollywood release, a milestone reported by multiple outlets. It’s history. It’s memory. And it’s a bridge.
