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.

Aamir Khan's Father Would Slap Him Hard, Leave Marks On Face: 'It'd Be Very Embarrassing'
Last Updated: Aamir Khan's father would hit him with the back of his hand, and his ring would get imprinted on the actor's face. Aamir Khan, often called 'Mr. Perfectionist," had a complex, transformative relationship with his parents, marked by strict discipline, financial instability, yet deep familial bonds. Aamir is the son of producer-director Tahir Hussain and homemaker Zeenat Hussain. Aamir often talks about his mother as a gentle, supportive figure, always encouraging. Conversely, his relationship with his father was more combative. In a chat shared on the YouTube channel of Zee Music Company, Aamir mentioned that his mother has always been an empathetic and sensitive figure in his life. 'I have never heard my mother raise her voice. Me and Faisal (his brother) would have a lot of fun as kids, so she would just say, 'Aamir, aap aisa karenge? (Aamir, will you do this?)' This was the maximum that she would scold us," he said. However, his dynamic with his father was the opposite. He recalled, 'My father and my mother were very different personalities. Faisal and I would get prints of his hand on our faces. We would get slapped with the back of his hand; he used to wear a ring, and that ring would leave a mark on our face. So the next day, when we would go to school, it would be very embarrassing." Aamir Khan didn't have a close relationship with his father. In a 2007 custody battle (for his brother) and disputes over business decisions, Aamir distanced himself from his father, further straining their relationship. However, they eventually reconciled. Tahir Hussain passed away on February 2, 2010, in Mumbai due to a massive heart attack. Aamir was abroad when he received the news and returned immediately, sharing memories and expressions of deep respect on social media in the years that followed. Their relationship—marked by conflict, compliance, and eventual reconciliation—helped form Aamir's grounded persona. Today, he often reflects on his career choices with introspection, having recognised the sacrifices his mother and children made, and the toll his ambitions took on those bonds. Meanwhile, on the work front, Aamir Khan will next be seen in Sitaare Zameen Par. It is a spiritual sequel to Aamir Khan's 2007 film, Taare Zameen Par. The movie stars Aamir Khan alongside Genelia Deshmukh. It is a remake of the Spanish film Campeones. The film marks the Hindi cinema debut of Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. In the film, Aamir Khan plays Gulshan, an assistant coach of a prominent basketball team. After losing his job, he had to choose jail or serve 90 days of community service as the coach of a team comprising specially-abled basketball players. Directed by RS Prasanna, the film is scheduled for release on June 20, and anticipation is running high as the date approaches. First Published:

Matlab Nysa aur Yug dono jo hain, bohot hi sehmay sehmay ho jaate hain jab unko lagta hai, you know, main ro rahi hun ya jo bhi hai.
