Kajol shares her thoughts on the significance of Parents' Day
Bollywood actress Kajol, who is an avid social media user, has shared her thoughts on the significance of Parents' Day, expressing that the title feels too small to truly honour the role parents play in our lives. Taking to her Instagram handle, the 'Dilwale' actress shared that she believes that parenthood deserves a larger and more meaningful acknowledgment beyond just a single day of celebration. Kajol posted a smiling photo of herself alongside her mother, Tanuja, and her mother-in-law, Veena Devgan. She also dropped images of her father Shomu Mukherjee and father-in-law Veeru Devgan. For the caption, the 'Do Patti' actress wrote, 'Parents Day feels too small a name for what they've done for me. But here's a post anyway. And a big thank you to you 4 #happyparentsday.' Celebrities have marked National Parents' Day by paying heartfelt tributes to their parents. Sanjay Dutt's sister, Priya Dutt, took to social media to honour the legacy of their parents, legendary actors Sunil Dutt and Nargis. In an emotional tribute, Priya reflected on the most meaningful gift her parents gave her—a life guided by love and purpose. She took to Instagram to share a monochrome photo and video of Sunil Dutt and Nargis, accompanied by a heartfelt message. 'Children are a reflection of their parents. I watched my parents stand for what mattered. They showed me what it means to serve with sincerity, to lead with heart, and to give without needing recognition. They were my strength, my soft place to land, and the reason I believe in the goodness of people. Their actions and their values became my path to follow. This Parents' Day, I celebrate the greatest gift they gave me, a life rooted in purpose and love. Today as a parent i have their blueprint to follow to pass on this legacy to my children. To all Parents out there #HappyParentsDay,' she wrote as the caption. Observed annually on the fourth Sunday of July, National Parents' Day recognizes the vital role parents play in nurturing future generations and shaping the fabric of society. For the unversed, the day was formally introduced in 1994 when US President Bill Clinton signed a congressional resolution to highlight the importance of parental care and guidance. Meanwhile, the two ladies from Bollywood who never shy away from speaking their mind — Kajol and Twinkle Khanna have joined forces for an exciting chat show, 'Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle'. Before Kajol and Twinkle's show premieres, let us turn back the clock and look at an old conversation between the two ladies when the 'DDLJ' actress opened up about age anxiety. When Twinkle asked Kajol if being an actor, she ever worries about ageing, she revealed that, as a matter of fact, she does worry about it. Kajol shared that, according to her, ageing has to do with energy more than the lines on your face. 'I think people look at how you are saying what you're saying. I feel more than the lines on the face, age shows in people's eyes, when they get tired, when they get bored of what they are doing — that's when people start noticing the lines and the wrinkles,' the 'Maa' actress added. 'So, I worry about it, yes, I am concerned about it- who isn't, and I do my daily routine religiously,' Kajol added. Shedding light on her daily routine, she shared, 'I am extremely careful about drinking my eight glasses of water. I have to have my 8 to 10 hours of sleep at least. I wash my face every night religiously, put my cream on, and I am like — 'now I am ready to go to bed'. And I take very-very good care of myself, I workout, I do all of it.' Coming back to 'Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle', the show was announced on Tuesday. Indo-Asian News Service

National Parents' Day is more than a calendar event—it's a heartfelt tribute to the unconditional love, sacrifices, and life-shaping wisdom parents pass down to their children. From cheering us on during our milestones to holding us through our setbacks, parents quietly mold the essence of who we become. On this special occasion, actress Simaran Kaur , who currently plays Riddhi in Jamai No.1, reflected on the powerful influence her parents have had on her life and career. 'I owe everything I am to my parents,' Simaran shared in an exclusive chat. 'Their values, their support, and most importantly, their faith in me have shaped my journey. I still remember my childhood shopping trips with my mom—she'd help me choose dresses, explore different looks, and let me express myself freely.' What might have seemed like routine outings turned into meaningful moments that helped build her confidence. 'It wasn't just about fashion,' she added. 'It was her way of helping me grow creatively, which eventually led me to acting.' Now a rising name in television, Simaran credits those early experiences—and her parents' constant encouragement—as the foundation of her success. 'This Parents' Day, I'm hoping to take them on a short trip—just to laugh, relax, and make new memories. Their love has always been my biggest blessing.'

Parenting expert explains why you should never try and 'end' your child's tantrum
Tantrums can be tough to handle and a parenting psychologist has shared some advice about how to deal with a child mid-tantrum and what parents should and shouldn't do No parent relishes the moments when their children have tantrums, yet it's a common occurrence. Toddlers often resort to this behaviour because they lack the verbal skills to express their needs or frustrations. Today (Sunday, July 27) we celebrate Parents' Day, a day to appreciate parents for their unwavering love and commitment to nurturing their children, but it also serves as an opportunity for mums and dads to enhance their parenting techniques, such as managing tantrums. American parenting psychologist Dr Becky Kennedy has offered insights on how to cope with a child's meltdown and what actions to avoid. In a TikTok video posted by Thrive Parenting Network, Dr Kennedy emphasised that a parent's role is " not to end a tantrum ever." She elaborated: "The more energy I put into ending a tantrum the more my kid thinks I'm scared of their tantrum." The child psychology specialist pointed out that when parents attempt to stop a tantrum, they inadvertently project their own anxiety onto their child, resulting in heightened fear and a prolonged, more intense tantrum. She likened a tantrum to a "kind of explosion" and clarified that a parent's duty is to act as a "container" maintaining composure and ensuring the safety of their child. Dr Kennedy went on to say: "When I mean safe, sometimes during tantrums kids will start like throwing things or like I don't know they'll, you know, get something in their room." She emphasised that parents must put an end to certain behaviours, highlighting the significance of the phrase "I won't let you" as opposed to softer alternatives like "we don't" or "please stop". The parenting psychologist illustrated her point with the example: "I'm not gonna let you throw that vase." She went on to explain: "That's the boundary, and then what I'm going to say to myself honestly is like a mantra while I kind of just wait it out. "I might say to myself 'I'm safe, this isn't an emergency, I can cope with this.' That's actually my favourite mantra because the only reason we get activated during our kids' tantrums is because our body kind of confuses whose feelings are whose." She further explained that when parents feel their own bodies becoming unsafe, it's often a reaction to wanting to "shut down" the child's tantrum. Reiterating her advice, she said that reassuring yourself of safety is effective, as the body "responds really well to being told this." The TikTok video has amassed 62,400 views and more than 4,500 likes, along with numerous comments from parents sharing their experiences. One parent remarked: "I like this. It's probably hardest when the tantrum happens in the middle of trying to get a time-sensitive chore or thing done." They added the challenge of dealing with a tantrum while juggling responsibilities: "Like a tantrum in the middle of trying to get to school, after which I need to get to work.." Another expressed gratitude, saying: "Your 'this is not an emergency' line might have made motherhood 1000x better for me." A third shared their struggle: "Keep your body calm sounds so simple but feels impossible in the moment."
