Kajol is once again headed to Bulgaria — the location of her last outing, Dilwale. But this time round, it isn’t work that beckons, but hubby Ajay Devgn who is battling homesickness.

Devgn has been shooting in the Balkan nation for his directorial venture, Shivaay since January and has now asked Kajol and their children, Nysa and Yug, to join him there.

Says a source, “Kajol, Nysa and Yug are slated to leave for Bulgaria on March 16. They will be there for a couple of days, but Devgn is keen to have them around even if it is a brief visit. He is involved with Shivaay as an actor, director and producer and the last few months have been hectic for him. But he is happy with the way things have shaped up and wants to share some footage of the film with his dear ones.” Last year, during November and December, Devgn had completed a part of the shoot for Shivaay in Bulgaria. At that time, Kajol was busy with the promotions of Dilwale and was unable to join him on location.

Adds the source, “Devgn’s kids are looking forward to meet their dad and to experience the cold environs as well.” Devgn’s spokesperson confirms that his family will be visiting him in Bulgaria.

Shivaay stars newcomer Sayessha Saigal, who happens to be the grandniece of yesteryear actress Saira Banu.
