Kajol wants you to know that she is nothing like the overbearing mother she plays in Helicopter Eela, which releases on September 7. But her Instagram posts do sometimes embarrass her teenage daughter, Nysa, who leaves comments disapproving of her schmaltzy captions to family pictures. "She said, 'I cannot be associated with this. I am not your admin anymore'," says Kajol with a laugh. There's still a lot in common between mother and daughter. "We tend to find a lot of things irreverent," she says. "We laugh at the weirdest things and bitch a lot together. Manis and pedis do that to you."
