With versatility in genes and acting in
DNA, this actress ruled the charts when it came to showing her skills in
variety of roles. There is nothing gupt about the talent Kajol possess and
hence created hulchul in the industry from the moment she entered. While she
had the privilege to work with directors of diverse sensibilities and in films
of different genres, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai remains one of the most celebrated
films of Kajol. Though Kajol is most comfortable in her own space and fixed set
of friends which often makes her come across as not so warm person which is
contrary to her real self but she does stand by her friends in time of need. It
was the first day of shoot of Karan Johar's directorial venture ‘Kuch Kuch hota
Hai’ and he was quite nervous to pull off the mega project. Karan Johar being
the fun loving and lovely person, was under extreme pressure and not sure of the
crew taking him seriously. Judging the same, Kajol told Karan Johar to shout at
her in the very first scene as a pre planned strategy. Taking into consideration
the image of Kajol as being a tough person, shouting at her would set the
perception in people's mind for Karan Johar as a director who has hold on his
actors and in turn the film from the very first shot. Jumping over the
opportunity and first shot being from the song Koi Mil Gaya, Karan shouted on
Kajol in front of the unit for a silly reason that led to pin drop silence on
the set. Unfortunately, not being able to hold on to their own plan beyond a
few seconds, both the actors along with Shahrukh Khan who witnessed the entire drama
burst out laughing spilling their own beans. But this made the comfort level
between them set its tone that later resulted into a great camaraderie between
Kajol, Shahrukh and Karan. While filming for the song ‘Yeh Ladka Hai Deewana...’
in Mauritius one of the shot required Kajol and Shahrukh to ride a Bicycle. While
Kajol and Shahrukh were riding the bicycle parallelly, something got a miss
with Kajol and she fell flat on her face. With the sudden accident, everyone in
the crew and specially Karan and Shahrukh got extremely worried for the actor
friend. Surprisingly even after a bad fall there wasn’t even a scratch on her
face but as soon as she woke up post her fainting, she couldn’t remember
anything. It was one of those filmy situations with a dialogue – “Mein Kaha Hu?”
Not able to control their emotions in a funny yet serious situation, Shahrukh
and Karan planned to trick Kajol in believing that she was one of background
dancers from Mumbai who was dancing in the last row. But to their dismay and
kindness of god on Kajol, the only person she remembered was her boyfriend then
and husband now - Ajay Devgn. Post speaking to him and a little more rest,
Kajol regained from her Ghajini moment and joined the team with full force. With
no doubt, the audience went Fanna over the cute as well as matured character of
Anjali. The funny yet emotional behind the scene happenings didn’t affect the
film from creating a milestone and everyone went drooling over Kajol that made
them say - Kuch Kuch hota Hai...tum Nahi Samjhogi!
