Kajol Reveals Real Reason She Does Not Like Watching Her Own Films: 'I Am Really Bad'
Actress Kajol, known for blockbusters like DDLJ and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, admits she doesn't watch her own movies.
Actress Kajol, who has delivered some amazing blockbusters during her tenure, does not watch her own movies. Yes, you read it right. During an exclusive conversation with IANS, Kajol was asked if she watches her own movies. Speaking to IANS, the 'Maa' actress admitted that she does not watch her own movies.
'No, I don't, I am really bad. I don't watch films, period. I am more of a reader, so I watch films very rarely," Kajol said.
When asked which of her movies she would like to see again in the theatres, Kajol picked out some of her favourites, saying, 'Well, DDLJ has been released, and I would like to see Kuch Kuch Hota Hai back again in the cinemas."
Adding to the list, she went on to say, 'And maybe Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha – I think that's one film that I would like to see on screen again. I think it would be fun to watch Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha again."
Work-wise, Kajol will next be seen in the highly anticipated drama, 'Sarzameen," co-starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Ibrahim Ali Khan.
Shedding light on her role, Kajol said, 'Sarzameen called for an emotional depth that really intrigued me as an actor. The role resonated with me on a very personal level. I was happy to see Ibrahim bring to life such a complex character and I am very excited for him. My character in Sarzmeen has so many layers – she is the emotional core of the story and Kayoze's vision has portrayed it on screen in a compelling way. I am looking forward to the release of the film."
Additionally, Kajol has also joined forces with author Twinkle Khanna for a talk show, titled 'Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle".
The two ladies are expected to hold fiery and candid conversations with some of the biggest names in Bollywood.

Sonali Bendre: Marriage requires daily effort, should never be taken for granted
Actress Sonali Bendre has shared her mantra to a successful marriage. She said that both partners need to work on their relationship as it requires daily effort and should never be taken for granted. Asked Sonali, who has been happily married for over two decades to filmmaker Goldie Behl, about the advice she would like to give young couples, Sonali told IANS: 'I don't think anyone can really advise youngsters, and those who try usually fail. They believe they know everything. They have Google, ChatGPT—every answer is at their fingertips.' Decoding the key to a perfect marriage, she said: 'Marriage, according to me, is something that requires daily effort. It should never be taken for granted. Both partners need to work on it. Mutual respect is essential.' For Sonali, marriage is a partnership of equality. 'Not that we have to be equal in everything, but our strengths should complement each other. I have my strong points, and my husband has his. We divide responsibilities accordingly. Marriage is about supporting each other and, ultimately, about growing old together. Over the years, you realize that sometimes you sacrifice more, sometimes your partner does.' She added: 'Life has ups and downs. Equality is not in the day-to-day tasks but in the long run, with respect and care at the core. The internet has played a major role in the world and relationships, and Sonali agrees strongly. 'The change is huge! In our time, a generation would change every 20–25 years. Now it feels like it changes every three years. Everything has turned upside down. The internet has transformed how people live and connect.' Sonali will be seen as a host on the show 'Pati, Patni Aur Panga', which is all set to air on Colors. She will be joined by comedian Munawar Faruqui as a co-host.
