They were one of the most popular Bollywood buddies once upon a time and have given hits such as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and My Name Is Khan, but Kajol now refrains from even talking about filmmaker Karan Johar.
In an interview, Kajol says she works with only those people with whom she has a certain kind of comfort level.
“If you’re not comfortable with the people you’re working with, if you cannot speak up, or speak to the people you’re working withI think communication is a key element in working with people. You can’t work alongside them if you don’t talk,” she says.
When asked if she is open to work with Karan, Kajol says, “Let me put it this way, I am not answering any questions on that particular point. If any of my other friends want to offer me a film I’ll definitely do it.”
In his autobiography, Johar had said his nearly 25-year-long friendship with Kajol ended prior to the release of his film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and her actor-filmmaker husband Ajay Devgn’s film Shivaay. The two films clashed at the box office during Diwali last year. Devgn had said “nasty” things to him before the release of films and so he vowed “no matter what, she’s out of my life”, Johar wrote.
The 42-year-old actress says even now, working with people she is comfortable with plays a big part in choosing roles, and that was one of the reasons she gave her nod to upcoming Tamil film, VIP 2.
The actress features in the Soundarya Rajinikanth-directed film along with Dhanush. This is her second Tamil movie after Minsara Kanavu (1997).
