and she had different energies. In a chat with Radio Nasha, Kajol said, 'First of all, I was not even 18 at that time—around seventeen and a half years old. We were shooting on January 1. Shah Rukh likes to shoot on that day. Saal ke pehle din shooting karo toh poore saal karte ho.'

Kajol's energy on set
Kajol was the only one buzzing with excitement after a full night's rest, while the whole set was tired from the celebrations.
She recounted how her talkative nature kicked in while others preferred silence. But her attempt to engage Shah Rukh in conversation didn't go as planned. Kajol recalled sitting beside him and playfully questioning his serious demeanour. However, SRK wasn't amused. 'Can you please shut up for a minute? Somebody shut her up, for God's sake,' he said.
Kajol remembered feeling taken aback and called it 'so rude and mean' at the time.
But later the duo developed a strong friendship. 'Of course, that led to a great friendship. I don't think he even remembers half of it,' she said.

The conversation also touched on a memorable scene in Baazigar that required a touch of sensuality. Kajol was unsure how to portray that role as she was just 18. She admitted struggling with the shot until choreographer Saroj Khan stepped in with a quirky solution.
'Saroj ji said that you have to suddenly feel 'aah'. It has to be an expression of sensuality. I told her I don't understand,' she said.
Kajol revealed that SRK was asked to pinch her during the scene to help her deliver the right expression. She added that over the years, both she and SRK have shared many such goofy and spontaneous moments on set.

Kajol is preparing for the release of her upcoming horror film Maa, which is set to arrive in cinemas on June 27.

Prosenjit Chatterjee supports Aamir Khan's cinema-only release for ‘Sitaare Zameen Par': Aamir can take risk
Aamir Khan 's much-awaited film Sitaare Zameen Par hit theatres on June 20, and in a bold move, the superstar has chosen to release it exclusively in cinemas, skipping an OTT release entirely. This decision has sparked mixed reactions in the industry. In an interview with actor Prosenjit Chatterjee shared his thoughts on Aamir's choice. He acknowledged that while such changes are necessary in today's evolving film landscape, it takes someone with Aamir's experience and understanding of cinema to confidently take that kind of risk. Prosenjit Chatterjee on Aamir Khan's Bold Move Prosenjit Chatterjee said that Aamir Khan's decision to release 'Sitaare Zameen Par' only in theatres is a bold step. He believes that while this may not change everything right away, it's important that someone takes the first step. He also said there's no good or bad way to release a film, what matters is trying something new. "I remember long back when content would be sold to CD companies, and it paid producers handsomely. However, after a year or two, I realised that the CDs were already in the market in a few days, and the theatre business was getting affected. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo So I called up all the producers for a meeting and we jointly decided that while the rights would be sold off, we need to have a gap of a good 9-12 weeks. All producers came together, and things changed to a certain level," the Bengali actor said. Chatterjee Sees a Similar Trend from the Past Chatterjee mentioned that he had seen a similar pattern in the past when films first started premiering on television. "In three or four weeks, they would start playing Bengali and even Hindi films on television. So, we stopped that and said let's give it after eight weeks. To save the theatrical business and cinema, he (Aamir Khan) is a person who can think this way or take this kind of risk. Nothing will change, a film will come on OTT and then on satellite television. That's how it works, that's how we reach our Indian audiences. But let's see how this goes (Sitaare Zameen Par's only-cinema model), and I hope it works." Aamir Khan Returns with a Heartwarming Film Marking his comeback after three years, Aamir Khan's 'Sitaare Zameen Par' has received a warm response from both critics and audiences. Directed by RS Prasanna and also starring Genelia Deshmukh , the film is seen as a spiritual sequel to 'Taare Zameen Par', focusing on a heartfelt story involving children. SRK and Salman Show Support at the Premiere On June 19, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan joined Aamir Khan at the film's premiere. The two superstars were seen warmly interacting with the young cast members, fondly called the 'sitaare', making the evening even more special.
