As Kajol gears up for the release of her latest film Maa, a mythological horror drama, the actor opened up about her unconventional relationship with the horror genre — and it's as candid and charming as you'd expect. Exclusive | Kajol CANDID On Horror Fears and Son Yug's Voice Debut In 'Karate Kids: Legends' 'I am not a horror buff at all,' Kajol confessed during the film's promotions. 'There are so many things in life that scare you naturally. You don't have to watch a movie, basically.' Despite her personal aversion to horror, the actress is surrounded by family members who are die-hard fans of the genre. 'My husband, my son, my nephews — everybody around me loves, loves, loves horror. They watch at least one film every week. Come hell or high water.' While Kajol admits to watching a few horror classics, she does so with a twist. 'I watch these films without sound. Without sound, I'm not that scared,' she laughed. It's a trick many wary viewers might relate to — muting the jump scares while still soaking in the eerie visuals.

'I was like interesting, I think I'll watch it. And then cut to… we had this!' The 1968 psychological horror film, directed by Roman Polanski , is actually a chilling tale about a young woman who comes to suspect sinister forces are conspiring against her unborn child. Far from legal drama territory, it's widely regarded as one of the greatest horror films ever made which went on to earn more than US $ 33 million at the box office. Kajol also shared her appreciation for the aesthetic value horror films can offer when done right. 'One of the biggest things I like about horror is that when it's done well, it has a beautiful aesthetic to it.' Maa has been backed by Ajay Devgn and is directed by Vishal Furia .

Kajol reveals why she turned down Karan Johar's Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna for Aamir Khan's Fanaa: 'My daughter was really small then'
Released in 2006, Fanaa became an instant blockbuster, winning hearts with its soulful music, powerful dialogues, and emotional storytelling. Directed by Kunal Kohli and produced under the Yash Raj Films banner, the film starred Aamir Khan and marked Kajol 's much-anticipated comeback after the birth of her daughter, Nysa Devgn. While fans remember Fanaa for its hauntingly beautiful shayari and the sizzling on-screen chemistry between Aamir and Kajol, few know that Kajol actually turned down Karan Johar 's Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna to be a part of the film. In a recent interview with Varinder Chawla's page, Kajol confirmed that she was offered Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, which eventually starred Shah Rukh Khan , Preity Zinta, Abhishek Bachchan, and Rani Mukerji. 'Well, Karan did offer me Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna at that point of time, but I think he wanted to go abroad for three months. My daughter was really small then — six months or a year old. I was like, I can't do it. I'd love to — I think he made a fantastic film — but I just couldn't leave my child or my husband for that long. That's when the 'Ma instinct' kicked in.' Kajol Gets CANDID About Motherhood Lessons and Son Yug's Debut In 'Karate Kids: Legends' | Exclusive Aamir Khan insisted on Kajol for Fanaa Interestingly, director Kunal Kohli once revealed that when Aamir Khan was approached for Fanaa, he already had a lead actress in mind, and it was none other than Kajol. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Kohli recalled that when discussing potential co-stars, Aamir simply kept repeating, 'Kajol, Kajol, and Kajol.' The director admitted he was surprised by Aamir's suggestion, assuming Kajol would prioritise Karan Johar's film, especially since it also featured her long-time co-star and friend Shah Rukh Khan. However, after reading the script for Fanaa, Kajol instantly agreed to the role of Zooni Ali Beg, a visually impaired Kashmiri woman, and made the film her comeback vehicle. Fanaa went on to become one of the highest-grossing films of 2006, reportedly earning around Rs 130 crore at the box office. The film was not only a commercial success but also a critical one, cementing Kajol and Aamir's pairing as iconic in Bollywood history.
