Kajol has mostly stayed away from the big screen in recent years, but she entertained fans on various OTT projects like Lust Stories 2, Tribhanga and The Trial. Known for her strong screen presence, the Bollywood star has consistently chosen roles that avoid intimate scenes and never relied on such scenes to attract audiences to theatre. Despite this, Kajol broke her own rules in her latest series, The Trial. In this show, she was seen kissing Alyy Khan’s character. While it is not exactly known why she stays away from intimacy on screen Kajol had previously mentioned that such scenes make her feel uncomfortable and disrupt her sense of personal space.
While appearing on Netflix Film Actors’ Roundtable in 2023, the actress said, “It has always been my take as an actor that I’ll not do scenes that require me to be either molested or in any which way show me in a place where I don’t want to be because I think as actors when we do a shot, we’re feeling it, we’re feeling it. So yes, we are actors up to a point but the camera I feel is one of those things it’s like man-made magic and it tends to capture it if you’re not being honest in front of it. At times like this, you need to be honest.”
“That’s been my thing on it that. ‘No, I don’t want to do this. I don’t feel comfortable. I don’t feel comfortable when I have to act out a scene where I am being physically abused or molested.’ I have done it, it’s not that I haven’t. But, it’s very very very uncomfortable and very disturbing. And I don’t feel I need to do it to prove a point. I can prove my point to be a good actor in 100 different ways. I don’t need this particular experience.”
Kajol’s on-screen chemistry with Shah Rukh Khan has always been a fan favourite but her pairing with Aamir Khan has also earned a special place in Bollywood. Despite appearing in only two films together, Ishq and Fanaa, Kajol and Aamir have become a beloved on-screen couple. Many fans might not know that the two stars didn’t share a great relationship. Kajol and Aamir were out of touch for years due to a disagreement over working styles.
Kajol had refused to work with Aamir on the film Mela, as she was not comfortable with his nature to do numerous takes to perfect each scene. While Kajol liked fewer takes. Things between the two became normal as Kunal Kapoor convinced the two talented stars to work in Fanaa.
On the work front, Kajol will be next seen in Kayoze Irani’s directorial Sarzameen featuring Ibrahim Ali Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran.
