Kajol felt left out on 'Ishq' set; reveals Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla were 'close': ‘I was not willing to talk to anybody'
'Ishq', the 1997 comedy directed by Indra Kumar, was a big hit at the box office. With Aamir Khan , Juhi Chawla , Kajol and Ajay Devgn in lead roles, the film became popular for its humour and songs. But recently, Kajol revealed that her time on set wasn't as fun as it looked on screen. In an interview with The Mashable, Kajol spoke about feeling alone during the long shooting days, as Aamir and Juhi shared a close bond with director Indra Kumar. This left Kajol and Ajay on the outside, and at times, she felt completely by herself. 'Aamir was very friendly with the director and so was Juhi so these three were a close knit group and then there was Ajay and me. And eventually, it was just me. There were certain days on set when I was not willing to talk to anybody,' said Kajol. 300 days on set was too much Kajol also revealed that 'Ishq' took 300 days to be completed. The long schedule and daily shooting hours made things even more difficult for her. 'We spent 300 days together. That film took 300 days to be made. We have no idea what we did for so many days. We used to spend 8-10 hours on set every day. I can't be talking to all of them at all times. I can try to be social but I can't constantly be chatting,' she explained. Even though Kajol is known to be outgoing, she said even extroverts need some quiet time to recharge. A bond with Ajay Devgn was born Though the group dynamics on set made her feel left out, Kajol shared that she eventually became close to Ajay Devgn. Their bond grew stronger during the filming of 'Ishq'. While they had worked together before in 'Hulchul' (1995), this film brought them closer. Two years after the release of 'Ishq', Kajol and Ajay got married in 1999. Today, they have been married for 26 years and are parents to daughter Nysa and son Yug. On the work front, Kajol will next be seen in 'Maa', a mythological horror film directed by Vishal Furia, releasing on 27th June, 2025.

Kajol says Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla were close on sets of Ishq, she was left alone: ‘There were days I wasn't willing to talk to anybody'
Director Indra Kumar's 1997 film Ishq became a major success at the box office after its release. Starring actors Aamir Khan, Juhi Chawla, Kajol and Ajay Devgn, the film gained immense praise for its humor and soundtrack. However, did you know the movie took 300 days to be made? In a recent interview with The Mashable, Kajol recalled how she used to be alone on the film set as Aamir and Juhi had a group of their own. This also became one of the reasons, how she became close to Ajay Devgn. 'Aamir was very friendly with the director and so was Juhi so these three were a close knit group and then there was Ajay and me. And eventually, it was just me. There were certain days on set when I was not willing to talk to anybody', told Kajol. Explaining her reason behind isolating herself on set, Kajol shared, 'We spent 300 days together. That film took 300 days to be made. We have no idea what we did for so many days. We used to spend 8-10 hours on set every day. I can't be talking to all of them at all times. I can try to be social but I can't constantly be chatting.' The actress said even an extrovert needs that time to recharge.

However, it was Ajay Devgn's comment that stole the limelight where he wrote, 'Wasn't this the film where I proposed to you with your own ring?' Kajol and Ajay Devgn arguably met on the sets of Hulchul (1995). Their love blossomed on the sets of Ishq. Two years later, in 1999, they decided to tie the knot. They have been married for 26 years and are parents to a daughter Nysa and son Yug.
