The Magadheera actress who is currently busy in promotions of her upcoming crime thriller Satyabhama opened up regarding her journey of motherhood and how she felt ‘insecure’ and ‘threatened’ when she had to take a break from the show biz due to her pregnancy. 

Reacting to whether she felt something looking at other actors doing well and taking a break especially when she was at the top of her game on the professional front, she said, ''Of course, you feel bad, of course, you feel insecure, you feel threatened, you feel scared, you feel nervous, especially when you are post-partum, you feel all of that in double intensity''. 

Further, Kajal also spoke about how she comes out of all those thoughts and makes herself feel better. She said, ''You got to tell yourself to calm down, you got to tell yourself that you are doing something for a priority that you have chosen and need to talk yourself through it.''
