Rajesh Khanna's heroine refused to play the role of Shah Rukh Khan's mother due to…, her name is…
Veteran actress Mumtaz has been the top actress of her time. Not only fans but even big heroes were crazy about her beauty. Her onscreen chemistry with Rajesh Khanna has been a hit. Recently, Mumtaz said that she will never play the role of Shah Rukh Khan's mother. She says that she has a rule that she will play the role of mother only to those actors who are at least 20 years younger than her. Shah Rukh will turn 60 this year, while Mumtaz is 77 years old.
During an interview with Vicky Lalwani, Mumtaz was asked if Jaya Bachchan can play Shah Rukh Khan's mother, then why not her? To this, she said, 'That is Jaya's decision, but I will only play the role of a mother of an actor who is 20 years younger than me. And that, too, only if I look good on screen. I got married at a young age, and even today, my children do not look much younger than me. If I look good, then I can think of playing the role of a mother.'
Referring to Jane Fonda in the film 'Mother-in-Law', Mumtaz said, 'I will do such a film in which my son's character will be played by a young hero. The mother's character in it was stylish. She is a millionaire. She used to degrade the simple girl whom her son loves. She says that I do not want to accept a poor girl. She was given the freedom to look and wear whatever she wanted. I will also work in such a film. If Shahrukh wants me to look the way I actually look, then tell him that I will work. But he will refuse. Why should I keep my hair white?'
Shah Rukh Khan had told Mumtaz that he had his crush on Anupam Kher's show. To this, the veteran actress said, 'Maybe he said it jokingly. Will you (Shahrukh Khan) work with me if I look the way I actually look? Will you? He will say no, just wait and watch. He is a very intelligent guy, very smart, and a lovely person. He knows (what looks good on screen). Just because he likes me, it doesn't mean he will do anything.'

Kajol says NO to Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge sequel with Shah Rukh Khan: 'Nobody wants to know if they fought over diapers or not'
Kajol has expressed her views on potential sequels to her iconic films, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, stating that some love stories are best left untouched. She believes the magic of DDLJ lies in its perfect ending, while recreating the eternal love of KKHH would be challenging in today's world. Kajol is setting the record straight on sequels to her classic films. As she gears up for the release of her upcoming horror film Maa, the actress shared her candid and hilarious take on the idea of a Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge or Kuch Kuch Hota Hai sequel—revealing why some love stories are better left untouched. In a chat with Pinkvilla, Kajol was asked about the possibility of a sequel to the iconic 1995 film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, in which she starred opposite Shah Rukh Khan . While she admitted she'd love the idea in theory, Kajol humorously confessed that she simply can't imagine a DDLJ 2 happening. The actress explained her stance with a touch of humor, saying that every film carries its own magic, and DDLJ was no different. She joked that no one really wants to know what happened after the iconic train scene—whether the couple ended up arguing over mundane things like diapers. For her, the magic lies in leaving that fairytale ending untouched. She also added that the beauty of DDLJ lies in its ending, calling it 'brilliant' that the story wraps up as the train leaves.
