MUMBAI, India:  Bollywood actress Kajol says though family responsibilities and her husband Ajay Devgn’s film production company have been keeping her busy, she is waiting for the right script to act in a movie again.

“It has to be a good script with a tight screenplay. The production house needs to be good, too. It is as important as your role in the film,” Kajol said May 12.

Daughter of actress Tanuja and film director Shomu Mukherjee, Kajol made her acting debut with “Bekhudi” in 1992 while she was still in school.

The 38-year-old actress is known for memorable performances in films like “Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge,” “Gupt,” “Dushman,” “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,” “Fanaa” and “My Name Is Khan,” among others.

After marrying actor Devgn, she took a sabbatical from full-time acting in 2001 and returned to films with the 2006 romantic-thriller “Fanaa.” After that, she made cameo appearances in several films. Kajol was last seen in a prominent role in Karan Johar’s 2010 home production, “We Are Family.”

When she is not doing movies, Kajol said her two children — daughter Nysa and son Yug — and husband’s production house keep her busy.

“Looking after babies is a full-time job. But spending time with my kids gives me a great amount of personal satisfaction, and I am enjoying each and every moment of this amazing experience that god has gifted me with,” Kajol said.

“We also have a production house — Ajay Devgn Films. I am not involved in it 24-seven. But yes, I like overseeing everything,” she added.

Her pairing with superstar Shah Rukh Khan has been a highlight of her career, as they delivered a number of romantic hits together like “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” and “Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham,” among others.

“I think it has got to do with the movies we have made together. They have all done well. There is a cinematic history that has contributed to the overall persona of us as a pair. We share a good comfort level and are also good friends,” she said.
