Kajol says she does not watch her films, here's why!
'I don't watch films, period'
The interview happened with IANS where Kajol explained that she does not watch movies in general, not just her own. She described herself as someone who prefers reading over screen time, and admitted that she is 'really bad' at keeping up with films. The honest confession surprised fans, especially given her decades-long filmography filled with genre-defining hits.
The few she'd love to see again
While Kajol does not typically rewatch her own work, she did mention a few titles she genuinely enjoys seeing on the big screen again.
She said 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' has already had its theatrical re-release, but she would love to revisit 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' and 'Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha' one again.
Upcoming projects of the actor
Kajol is getting all buckled up for the release of 'Sarzameen,' which is a drama and she is co-starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Ibrahim Ali Khan. She said the role demanded emotional depth and resonated with her personally. It is directed by Kayoze Irani, and the film positions Kajol's character as the emotional anchor of the story, which is layered and a bit complex.
Further, she is also collaborating with Twinkle Khanna on a new talk show with the title 'Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle,' which also promises honest and fiery conversations with Bollywood's biggest names. The show is expected to blend humor, insight, and behind-the-scenes revelations from the industry's most familiar faces.

From Karisma Kapoor's 'abrupt' marriage to Sunjay Kapur to Kamal Haasan's big promise to Tamil Nadu voters, check out the daily entertainment updates here. Filmmaker Suneel Darshan, who has worked closely with Karisma Kapoor, has opened up about her marriage to businessman Sunjay Kapur, calling it 'abrupt." Speaking to journalist Vickey Lalwani on his YouTube channel, Darshan reflected on Karisma's personal life, her bond with Sunjay's family, and how her life changed after the wedding. Veteran actor and Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) founder Kamal Haasan took an oath as a Member of Parliament at Rajya Sabha in Delhi on July 25. Hours later, he took to X (formerly Twitter) and, representing Tamil Nadu, marked the moment with a deeply personal message to the people of India. For more updates: Kamal Haasan Vows To Be Tamil Nadu's Voice In Delhi After Rajya Sabha Debut: 'Not for Narrow Gain…' Kayoze Irani's Sarzameen tries to tackle a lot – fatherhood, patriotism, trauma and radicalisation – all through the lens of a military family caught in personal and political conflict. But while the film has flashes of intensity, it loses direction quickly, never fully landing its emotional or narrative arcs. The day that all you Bigg Boss were waiting for is finally here! The show's makers have revealed the first look of Bigg Boss 19, unveiling a brand new 'eye' design. With the grand reveal of the new eye design – a vibrant, multi-hued symbol that teases the chaos, drama, and emotions the season promises to deliver. The show is expected to premiere in August 2025, hosted by Salman Khan. Producer-director Suneel Darshan, who has worked with both Karisma Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan in the 2002 film Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya, has reflected on the former couple's high-profile engagement and sudden breakup. The filmmaker called Karisma's life 'turbulent" but praised the strength of the Kapoor sisters and their mother Babita for enduring personal and professional challenges.

Prithviraj says his Mumbai Police role was ‘against the grain', opens up about rejecting Karan Johar's Bombay Talkies: ‘Didn't want to do similar characters back-to-back'
Those who've seen the Malayalam cop thriller Mumbai Police can never forget its jaw-dropping climax, the moment when Prithviraj Sukumaran's character is revealed to be a closeted gay man, battling an identity crisis in a deeply homophobic society. The twist, radical and ahead of its time, stunned audiences and critics alike. The film was widely celebrated upon its release, and Prithviraj was lauded for portraying such a layered, unconventional character in a genre typically driven by macho stereotypes. Now, in a recent interview with YouTuber Nayandeep Rakshit, the actor opened up about how he came on board the film and why its presentation of queerness was 'truly against the grain.' 'See, I just follow my instinct. If something appeals to me, I pursue it. That's all. Regarding Mumbai Police, you know, the director, the writers, and I, we were developing that film, and we had reached a point in the screenplay where all of us were stuck, right? And we didn't know how we were going to take it forward from there,' Prithviraj shared. He added, 'Then, a couple of months later, I remember, late at night, Roshan, the director, called me and said, 'You know, long back when we spoke about cinema, you told me that you would do anything for cinema.' And I said, 'Yeah.' And he goes, 'You still stick to that?' I said, 'Yeah, of course I do.' He said, 'I think we might have landed on something.' I said, 'Okay, cool, let's meet.' So we met, and they told me this twist at the end, and I was genuinely shocked. I said, 'If I'm shocked listening to this, and if the audience has the same reaction, then the film works.'' Also Read | Ahead of Sarzameen, Prithviraj says his dad Sukumaran and Kajol's mother Tanuja played husband and wife in this 1980 film Speaking candidly about the risks involved at the time, Prithviraj highlighted how unique the character truly was: 'What was truly risky about Mumbai Police, in terms of an actor doing that back then, was not just the fact that a mainstream, so-called lead was playing a gay man, but the portrayal itself. The character was nothing like how gay men were shown in mainstream cinema. He was this macho, violent, alpha policeman whose sexual orientation happened to be gay. That was truly against the grain. And I thought that would be a path-breaking film — and it was.' In the same conversation, Prithviraj also revealed that he turned down an opportunity to work in Karan Johar's segment of Bombay Talkies, the 2013 anthology film, primarily because the role was too similar to what he had just done in Mumbai Police. 'Karan had spoken to me about this, the film he did in the anthology called Bombay Talkies. Unfortunately, I couldn't be a part of it for two reasons. One, there were genuine issues with my schedule and dates. And two, at that point, I had just finished shooting another film where I played a gay man, and I didn't want to do similar characters in two back-to-back projects. But it was a wonderful script. I later saw the film, and it was beautifully performed by Randeep Hooda. I did miss the opportunity to work with Karan as a director, which I hope will happen at some point in life.' Currently, Prithviraj is promoting his upcoming film Sarzameen, which also stars Kajol and Ibrahim Ali Khan. This marks Ibrahim's second outing after the critical and commercial failure of his debut film Nadaaniyan. Meanwhile, in an attempt to bring Mumbai Police to a pan-India audience, Bollywood remade the film earlier this year as Deva, with Shahid Kapoor in the lead. However, the remake failed to recreate the original's impact and underperformed at the box office.
