New Delhi, Feb 19 (IANS): Popular actress Kajol, a mother of two, says instead of hiding her children with actor-producer Ajay Devgn from the paparazzi, she tries to take them out as much as she can.

"I try to take my kids everywhere. I try not to let stardom get in the way of motherhood. I don't know how much I succeed, but I do try to make that effort," Kajol said here at a press conference for the third edition of the McVities Kid's Culinare here on Satuday.

"I would have brought my kids here if I had a little more time off. But they had school and they are out, so I couldn't get them just for a day to Delhi. But I do take them out as much as I can," said Kajol.

The "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" actress, brand ambassador of McVities, has a daughter named Nysa and a son named Yug. She was here to kick off the two-day food gala, being held at PSOI Garden, Nehru Park.

At the event, Kajol was spotted on the stage dancing with characters from "The Jungle Book", giving the attendees a fun-filled afternoon.

Talking about the importance of healthy eating, Kajol said: "I believe in good health very firmly. It is is very important for children to understand that healthy eating starts at home. Healthy doesn't necessary need to be tasty.

"Good things can come in tasty packages... They don't have to be ugly and horrible tasting. And yes, that is a challenge as a mother."
