After three decades in Hindi cinema, Kajol is still finding ways to surprise her audience, this time by explaining a moment she once avoided.
Known for iconic films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Sometimes there is happiness and sometimes there is sorrow. and Kuch Kuch Hota Haithe 51-year-old diva had long kept a no-kissing rule on screen.
But in her OTT debut The Trial – Pyaar, Kaanoon, Dhokhashe broke that unwritten rule of hers.
Speaking to Lilly Singh on a podcast, the Baazigar star said the decision came down to the character she was playing.
“Honestly, it was the season that I was playing… It wasn’t simply a kiss; it was about what she thought and what she wanted to happen,” she said, adding that removing it would mean “cutting an integral part of the entire character.”
In the show, she shared the scene with Jisshu Sengupta. But the choice, she admits, was not easy.
“I was very, very uncomfortable with the idea till I was standing on set… I wasn’t sure whether I was actually going to do it,” she said. In the end, she called it “simply a professional call.”
Talking about her life approach, she also reflected on her younger self, someone who made decisions quickly and faced trouble for speaking plainly.
She played Noyonika Sengupta, a housewife who returns to her legal career after her husband’s scandal.
Directed by Suparn Verma, the courtroom drama is an Indian adaptation of The Good Wife which also features Alyy Khan and Sheeba Chaddha.
