It is a personal choice, as to what works for you and what doesn't work for you.'advertisementBreaking the common belief that cosmetic treatments are only for women, Kajol pointed out that many men also go for these procedures. 'And let me just clarify it - it is not gender-relevant. There are a lot of men who are doing it as well. In fact, equal amounts, I would say. Men who you probably do not know about or don't even want to comment on this particular stage,' she added. Talking about ageing, Kajol shared a positive view, saying it's a privilege and not something to worry about. "Ageing, as far as I am concerned, is in the mind. The privilege of ageing is that you can do it. There are a lot of people who don't. There are a lot of people who've died young and never had the chance to age at all. That doesn't mean they're lucky. That just means they didn't have the chance to age and come forward in life. So yes, I have that many more wonderful years to live forward. And I'm looking forward to it,' the actor the work front, Kajol is being praised for her role as Meher in 'Sarzameen', directed by Kayoz Irani.
