    ‘He understands what is comfortable for a woman’: Kajol confirms Shah Rukh is a gentleman

    Every 90s kid knows Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol will remain the OTP.

    And now, Kajol has confirmed what we already know, that the Badshah remains a charming guy even behind the cameras.

    The Indian Express reported that Kajol opened up about the process of shooting their iconic song 1995 ‘Jaati Hoon Main’, Kajol recalled how she was clueless about the song design, doing only what she was asked to do.

    Khan helped ease her into the song, being aware of what women were comfortable to do and what they didn’t want to do.

    “I had no clue what was being done. I was told before the shot ye karna, woh karna hai and I did just that. Bohot mushkil se kiya, lekin kiya. I would say one thing about Shah Rukh that he is still one of the most understanding costars because he understands what is uncomfortable for a woman to do and not to do and he tries his level best to make you most comfortable to do that.

    “I would say that he is the most understanding of actors that I have worked with in my whole (career). He really gets it, that, ‘This is not comfortable for her to do and it’s ok, I will figure a way out to make it as comfortable as possible,’” she gushed about the superstar.

    Our K3G self is sobbing our eyes out.

    Shah Rukh Khan is set to star in his daughter Suhana Khan’s debut venture, according to Pinkvilla. The movie will reportedly be produced by Siddharth Anand, the creator of SRK’s Pathaan, who will also be directing Tiger vs Pathaan.

    Meanwhile, Kajol is set to make her on-screen comeback with Netflix’s ‘Lust Stories 2’.

  • ‘I was called dark and fat when I started working in the industry’: Kajol

    Bollywood actress Kajol has a long list of hits to her credit, including ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham’ (2001), ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ (1995) and ‘Baazigar’ (1993).

    However, in an interview with ‘Humans of Bombay’ the actress talked about the struggles she faced when she started out in the film industry. Kajol, who is the daughter of yesteryears heroine Tanuja, said that she struggled to find good roles because of inappropriate comments about her skin and weight.

    “‘She is dark, she is fat and she wears specs all the time.’ These were some of the judgments that were passed when I first started working in the industry,” the ‘Dilwale’ actress recalled.

    However, Kajol, known for her feisty sense of humor and outspoken personality, revealed that she didn’t let the negativity hold her back and kept fighting hard for success.

    “I couldn’t care less. I knew I was smart, cool and better than everyone out there who had any negative thing to say about me. So, I kept continuing to be myself and never let it show. Sooner or later, when they couldn’t pull me down, the world simply embraced me for who I was.”

    Kajol had previously starred in the critically acclaimed documentary ‘The Romantics’ where she had spoken about starting as Simran in the critically acclaimed Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaien Ge (DDLJ), and revealed that initially she had found her character to be boring and couldn’t relate to her at all.
