It's just that they never came into focus and people never pointed them out and said, 'Hey, you're married and you're working'," Kajol told IANS in an interview from Mumbai.

Maybe because the spotlight is on me right now. But I didn't do it first. I just followed in some very illustrious footsteps." Funky, FUNNY & POUTY!
