In Hindi films, intense family dramas are a common theme. From sibling rivalries to placing loved ones in distressing situations, the narratives are often build up to heighten the drama. Yet, these on-screen moments can be challenging especially when the actors involved share a close bond off-screen, making the performances more intense.
One such moment occurred in 1995 in the action film Gundaraj , when Kajol and Mohnish Bahl portrayed characters entangled in a harrowing plot twist. How is Kajol related to Mohnish Bahl?
Kajol, known for her captivating screen presence and versatile performances, comes from a renowned film family. Her mother, Tanuja, was a prolific actress, whereas her father, Shomu Mukherjee was a producer-director. Her cousin- Mohnish Bahl, often seen portraying impactful roles, is son of legendary actress Nutan and Rajneesh Bahl. Kajol's most challenging on-screen moment
In 1995, action film Gundaraj released, in which Mohnish Bahl portrayed antagonist opposite Ajay Devgan and Kajol. The climax of the film featured a disturbing sequence in which Bahl's character, after holding Ajay Devgn's character hostage, forces Kajol's character to take off her clothes in public. While intended to intensify the dramatic tension, the scene was quite difficult for the actors, especially as Kajol and Mohnish are related off-screen.
Despite such an intense scene, they both handled the moment with utmost professionalism, keeping personal relationship separate from artistic demands. Interestingly, Ajay Devgn who was playing lead in the film, later become Kajol's husband in 1999, further strengthening familial bond between the co-stars.
Gundaraj marks the only film where, Kajol, Mohnish Bahl, and Ajay Devgan collaborated. After that, the trio didn't star in any further projects.

AR Rahman finds more creative freedom in Tamil cinema than Hindi films, says Ranjit Barot: ‘It's a shame Bollywood doesn't make more use of his genius'
AR Rahman's long-time collaborator and celebrated musician Ranjit Barot has shed light on the Oscar-winning composer's extraordinary dedication and how it has propelled him to the top of the music world. In a recent interview, Barot stressed that while Rahman is undoubtedly blessed, his success is primarily the result of tireless effort. He explained that people often attribute Rahman's achievements to divine blessing, but to him, blessing means recognising a gift and then working on it with complete commitment. 'We're all blessed in some way,' Barot told O2India, adding that Rahman has been working almost 24/7 for the last 40 years, a level of discipline that truly defines what it means to be blessed. He also recalled how destiny played its part when Ilaiyaraaja turned down Roja, giving Rahman the opportunity to step in, but insisted that 'the rest is all his hard work.' Ranjit Barot on AR Rahman's genius Barot also reflected on how the Hindi film industry may not be giving Rahman the same creative freedom he once enjoyed. While he acknowledged Rahman's Chennai roots, he pointed out that the composer's repertoire spans much more than just Carnatic music — from Sufi and ghazals to North Indian classical influences. In his view, it's a shame that Bollywood doesn't fully tap into Rahman's genius, remarking that 'in Chennai, they allow him to be who he is, and he's happy with it. ' AR Rahman opens up on dealing with suicidal thoughts; recalls how mother's advice helped him Recently, Rahman composed music for the blockbuster Chhava and Mani Ratnam 's Thug Life.

The report suggested that the trade industry was expecting 'War 2' to open at least close to 'Tiger 3', which collected around Rs 43 crore nett with its Hindi version. The film, however, has got a big Independence Day weekend window to perform smoothly at the ticket window.
