KAJOL, who celebrated her birthday on Tuesday, tells how it feels turning a year olderTalking a day before her 34th birthday, Kajol is full of anticipation. “I am sure Ajay (Devgan) and Nysa will throw a surprise bash for me. It’s a good excuse for all of us to get together and have a party,” she says.Ask her if she plans to cook something special and she laughs, “I don’t know how to cook at all. I know how to eat though. I am a complete foodie and I don’t care what I eat as long as it’s tasty and edible.”She says though she is sure to get some gifts from Ajay and Nysa, she is not expecting anything in particular. “I try not to expect things. God though always pleasantly surprises me,” she says.Kajol is someone who enjoys the almost irreplaceable position in the industry. However, she insists that career has never been her mainstay. “It’s not like my priorities have changed over the years after marriage and motherhood. My first priority has always been my family, even when I was much younger. Family has, and will always be, the top of the rung for me. Of course, I enjoyed my work. Who doesn’t like being liked? And I love to hear when people say you are good,” she says with her characteristic guffaw. Right now, though, she is busy with one thing – her fitness regime. Even though she is quite fit now, she just wants to get better. “If you are into working out it is a never-ending challenge. You never feel fit enough. I absolutely love my workouts. I do them because I truly enjoy doing them,” she says. Ask her what’s the best thing about her life right now and she says with a serene smile, “I am happy and at peace. Peace of mind is the most important thing to me right now. Happiness is also something that you can’t get from outside. You alone have the power to make yourself happy and that has to come from within.”Here’s wishing her a lot more of happiness and peace
