'We're not civilised, won't take it to a corner': Kajol spills the beans about resolving conflicts with Ajay Devgn
Bollywood icon Kajol recently opened up about the dynamics of working with husband-actor Ajay Devgn. In a candid interview, Kajol shared insights into their 'rules of engagement' and how they resolve disagreements on sets. (Also read: Nysa Devgan has the funniest take on Kajol's fierce look in new Maa song: 'When she comes home from work…') Kajol, who is busy promoting her upcoming film Maa, spilled the beans about her working relationship with Ajay in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India. "We do talk about the rules of engagement at work. 90% of the time, if he is going over the top, I just call him out on it, and he calls me out on it. We are not civilised and we will not take it to the corner," Kajol said. "But it does not happen very often, because first of all, we don't work that often together, we work once every five years. So when it does happen, it is pretty much out there and a 'free for all' kind of thing," Kajol said with a laugh. Kajol clarified that the couple, who have been married for over two decades, don't have shouting matches but have set boundaries that no one crosses. She added that she is much humbler on sets than otherwise. The Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaenge actor confessed she is more polite on film sets because it makes the environment more professional and easier. Directed by Vishal Furia, Maa is a mythological horror film produced by Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, and Kumar Mangat Pathak. Jio Studios is presenting it in collaboration with Devgn Films. The film tells the gripping story of a mother who confronts dark, otherworldly forces in a desperate attempt to save her daughter from a deadly curse rooted in a haunted village. Blending elements of mythology and horror, Maa explores the unbreakable strength of maternal love and the divine fury of Goddess Kali. The film has an ensemble cast that includes Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, Gopal Singh, Jitin Gulati, Kherin Sharma, Surjyasikha Das, Yaaneea Bharadwaj, and Roopkatha Chakraborty. It is set to release on 27 June in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali.

Genelia D'Souza opens up about missing out on Salman Khan's Ready: ‘It was my film, I would've....'
Most Bollywood fans remember Ready, starring Salman Khan and Asin , as one of those fun, light-hearted entertainers that really struck a chord with audiences. But what many might not realize is that the film was actually a remake of the 2008 Telugu hit Ready, which originally starred Ram Pothineni and Genelia D'Souza. In a recent chat with Siddharth Kannan, Genelia was asked if she ever felt bad about not being part of the Hindi remake, especially since the original film was such a huge success for her. Her answer? Surprisingly chill. 'No, not at all. I would've loved to do it, of course, because it was my film down south and I really enjoyed it,' she said. 'But maybe, just maybe, there's another film waiting for me with Salman Khan — you never know. ' Fans loved her humble and optimistic response, and the clip quickly started making rounds on social media. The original Ready was a total laugh riot. Directed by Srinu Vaitla, it came out in 2008 and turned out to be a surprise blockbuster. Ram Pothineni played the lovable troublemaker Chandu, and Genelia lit up the screen as Pooja. The film had everything — comedy, drama, family madness, and of course, some unforgettable performances by legends like Brahmanandam and Sunil. It became one of the most-loved family entertainers of its time. When the movie was remade in Bollywood, it took on a big, colorful, masala vibe. Salman Khan and Asin took the lead this time, and director Anees Bazmee gave it his trademark touch — lots of laughs, action, romance, and songs that topped the charts. The 2011 release went on to become one of the biggest hits, even though it didn't release during a festive season. Even though Genelia didn't get to be part of the Hindi version, fans still remember her sparkling performance in the original. And who knows, maybe someday we'll finally get to see her share the screen with Salman Khan. Fingers crossed!
