Kajol rocked a new hair-do and a black print maxi at the launch of Asha Shankardass children books at the Crossword Store in Mumbai on Monday, July 18.
She was joined by her sister Tanisha at the unveiling of the books: Champa The Punjabi Kudi Discovers the Himalayas and Champa The Dreamer Journeys to the land of Buddha, written and illustrated by Shankardass.
Kajol, 36, paired her spaghetti strap flowy dress with a black scarf.
She accessorized with her staple black thong sandals, tiered gold necklace and blue and gold bangles in her left arm.
Her new hair style was a delight: luscious waves with an off center subtle parting.
Kohl lined eyes and nude lips rounded off her summer afternoon hot mama looks.
Kajol cheerily signed autographs for the children attending the event.
Kajol was last seen in Karan Johar production We Are Family in 2010, which was released around the time she was to deliver her son Yug (b. November 2010).
She has not signed any films since then, but recently Karan Johar said he is keen on bringing back the cast of Kabhi Khusi Kabhi Gham together for a sequel of the film. Other stars in the 2001 family drama included Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor. 
"It's very strange. But all the six main members of the cast are as dear to me now as they were 10 years ago when I made the film. I'm sure they're as charged about the sequel as I am," Karan recently told Mumbai Mirror.
