Kajol Reacts To Her Comparisons With Jaya Bachchan: ‘It's Okay If You Think I'm Scary'
Last Updated:
Kajol addressed the buzz around her so-called 'scary' image and comparisons to veteran actress Jaya Bachchan, who is known for her no-nonsense attitude towards the media.
Kajol, known for her fierce honesty and powerful screen presence, is currently promoting her upcoming horror-thriller Maa, which explores mythological elements. While she may be gearing up to scare audiences on-screen, it seems some netizens already find her intimidating in real life, thanks to her banters with paparazzi, which frequently go viral online.
In a new interview with Zoom, Kajol addressed the buzz around her so-called 'scary" image and comparisons to veteran actress Jaya Bachchan, who is known for her no-nonsense attitude towards the media. Her response? Classic Kajol. 'It's okay if you believe that I'm scary, please go watch Maa," she said, using the chatter to plug her new film with a smile.
She also shared how her children react to those videos. 'See, Mama, you're so natural. See, what you are at home is what you are outside," Kajol quoted them saying. The actress laughed at how the public now gets to see the exact side of her that her family witnesses daily.
Discussing the pressures of dealing with the paparazzi, Kajol explained that often it's not just about clicking pictures anymore. 'They're waiting for you to say something. They coax you, they push you, till you have to — not scream back at them — but at least say, 'listen guys calm down.' You know, you don't need to yell and scream to get a good picture."
The Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge star also reflected on the shift in media behaviour. 'It's not about just clicking a picture or just clicking a video anymore. It's about a reaction that they want because it has a tagline attached to it, or they can attach some sort of a negative tagline."
