The web series Trial is a legal drama adapted from the American series The Good Wife. Kajol plays Noyonika Sengupta, a housewife who returns to her law career after her husband is imprisoned due to corruption and a sex scandal. The US version of The Good Wife premiered in 2009 and ran for seven seasons. The drama focused on Alicia Florrick, a woman who must support her politician husband after he is implicated in a sexual misconduct scandal while resuming her legal practice. The makers haven’t revealed the release date of Aamir Ali and Kajol starrer The Good Wife yet but dropped the first look last year.
Kajol had earlier told Variety, “The complexities are what defines a character to me and the layers surrounding Noyonika are what spoke to me when this role first came over. Noyonika felt personal, I instantly felt protective about her and that reaffirmed my faith in choosing ‘The Trial – Pyaar, Kanoon, Dhoka’ on Disney+ Hotstar to be my first step into the long format. Suparn Varma has built a world where vulnerability of characters meet the cruel situations posed by life. The audience will feel for and feel one with Noyonika as she makes difficult choices, because I did.”
Recently, Kajol left everyone shocked recently when she refused to talk in Hindi at an event in Mumbai. It all started when a paparazzo asked her to say something in Hindi since the Bollywood actress was addressing the media in Marathi. This seemingly left Kajol annoyed, who reacted angrily and said, “Should I say it in Hindi now? Whoever wants to understand, will understand!”
In no time, the video went viral on social media with netizens expressing disappointment with Kajol’s behaviour. Several users condemned the actress’ comment and asked her to stop working in the Hindi film industry. “If she feels uncomfortable and ashamed to speak in the Hindi language, then she should stop working in Bollywood Hindi Movies. She should drop her double standards,” one of the users wrote. “Why is she working in Hindi films? She should work in Marathi films only, if they don’t respect and hate Hindi, why do and translate ur movie in Hindi,” added another.
