Many of her fans loved her intense character as Noyonika while some still want to see her as the cheerful Anjali from ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.’ Kajol, recently speaking at an event recalled how she almost did a film with acclaimed director Mani Ratnam but she couldn’t make it due to the commitment of her dates for Karan Johar’s 1998 film ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.’

She said she was scheduled for the shoot for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and during that time she got an offer from Mani Ratnam, first of all, she could not believe that she had got an offer from Mr. Ratnam but things didn’t work out due to her commitment for Karan Johar’s Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. A  lot of people suggested to her that she should have said yes to Mani sir’s film. But she stood with her commitment and it worked in her favor. When she was asked to choose between the two iconic characters one of Anjali from ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ and the second of Simran from ‘Dil Vale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge’, she choose the former one.

Changing Times

Talking about the changing time, Kajol said film celebrities have lost their mystery due to the excess enable of social media. Everything about life and what going on is on social media, Film star no longer shines in the sky, they are just one of us and this is the biggest change she felt and in some way it’s good but there is some spark they have lost. It depends on how you look at the Cinema and it will always be the reflection of society.
