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.
