Kajol: SOS, JTHJ tussle affected me, but hopefully won't happen in future

Bollywood actor and a mother of two, Kajol exudes oodles of charm on and off screen. The bubbly beauty talks about her experience of being a superstar and now a supermom on Agenda Aaj Tak 2012.

Kajol, who had been tight-lipped about the SOS, JTHJ tussle so far, shared her views on the controversy and how it affected her.

Some excerpts from the session:
Anchor: You have limited friends, you choose your own friends. How difficult is it for you to balance your family and friends?
Kajol: It is not as difficult as you said. That has to be established in the beginning. When we got married it was clear that we will both keep our friends. Even if you don't want to mingle with them, they will still remain my friends - that will not change. It is necessary for two people to keep their individualities for it to remain a union which each one will respect the other. 

Anchor: Ajay said he was saddened that whatever happened between Yash Raj film and Ajay Devgn film over Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Son Of Sardaar affected Kajol's relationship. 
Kajol: Yes, it did affect. That is a situation that has come out of the ordinary. It is not a normal, everyday phenomenon. This situation is not created everyday, and won't happen every year. Hopefully, it will not happen in the future again. 
On the Hindi film industry being a male-dominated one, she agreed and said, "It's still a male-dominated industry. But I feel that at least now people are willing to give [female leads] a try." 

Anchor: You haven't worked with SRK for a long time now. Why? 
Kajol: It takes a lot to approve a script. It's just a question of putting right script and right director together which does not happen very often.

On working with Ajay, her husband, Kajol said: "We are a superhit couple so I don't think we need to make a film which is a superhit. Do we?"

She replied to RJD chief Lalu Prasad's question on vulgarity in new films. "Definitely there is a big difference among the old films and the films releasing nowadays. There are film songs those you can't watch with children. But one should remember that our films are a reflection of society. People like these things, so these are here."

Kajol believes that her two children are her biggest achievements and make her proud. She disagreed that some heroine-dominating films can change the male-dominated industries. She said this is still the best time for heroines to give their best.

She revealed that Anjali of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was her favourite character. She said, "The story of Anjali was very close to my own life. Till the age of 15, I was a tomboy similar to Anjali. It was around 21 when I got to know how to wear a sari."

To a question whether her marriage at the age of 24 was a wise decision, Kajol said, "You know that is my life. Basically, I wanted to take retirement from films. I felt like taking rest, to have someone who cares about me. Have children. So I didn't listen to anyone and went with my will. I am still proud of my decision."
