Kajol’s quirky nature has always
set her apart in Bollywood. Unfiltered, spontaneous, and refreshingly honest, she has never tried to fit into the industry’s polished mould. Whether it’s her candid interviews, playful banter on reality shows, or hilarious social media posts, Kajol’s humour feels effortless and real. She laughs loudly, speaks her mind, and embraces her imperfections with confidence.
This authenticity translates on screen too, making her characters feel alive and relatable. From cracking jokes at public events to teasing co-stars without inhibition, Kajol’s quirks reflect a rare comfort in her own skin, something that continues to endear her to audiences across generations.
Earlier, speaking with The Hollywood Reporter India, Kajol talked about the struggles of her mom and how it shaped her opinion about the industry. Kajol, while talking about her mom’s struggle, shared, “When I was growing up, I realised that she struggled a lot. She worked 24/7 and didn’t get paid even half as much as she should have. It wasn’t a stable or continuous source of income. I remember thinking, ‘I never want to work that hard.’ She would work from seven in the morning till late at night, sometimes coming home only to bathe and head back to set. She did that for years when we were kids. Nobody could pay me enough to do that. That was the main factor that made me not want to be in films. Otherwise, with my mom, my dad, my grandfather… it was such a normal part of my life, so I was never starstruck by it.”
Kajol’s mother, Tanuja Mukherjee, is remembered for her iconic roles in films like Jewel Thief (1967) and Haathi Mere Saathi (1971).
