Bollywood star Kajol, loved for her wit and enduring screen presence, as well as her off-screen chemistry with her husband, Ajay Devgn. Recently, she shared her secret formula for a successful marriage — one that blends humour, patience, and a good dose of “selective hearing.”

In an interview with Mashable India, she opened up about how she and husband Ajay Devgn maintain harmony despite their starkly different personalities.

Kajol’s secret formula for a successful marriage

Kajol, who is known to be talkative and expressive, contrasted her nature with Ajay’s calm and quiet demeanour. When asked how they make their relationship work, she quipped, “Oh, I say that quite often that the secret to a happy marriage is partial deafness and selective amnesia.”

She laughed and elaborated further, saying, “Kuch cheezein bhoolni bohot zaruri hai, aur kuch cheezein na sunni bohot zaruri hai.” (It’s very important to forget certain things, and equally important not to hear some things.)

In the same conversation, Kajol also revealed an unexpected side of Ajay — his hidden culinary skills. She described him as one of the best cooks she has known, praising his remarkable ability to replicate dishes perfectly just by tasting them once. “Unki khaasiyat hai, vo kisi bhi cheez ko ek baar taste karte hai, he would know how to make it exactly the same.” She added playfully, “He would never tell you his secret ingredients for his recipes.”
