And it doesn’t stop there. Kajol shared something that truly reflects the fierce spirit we’ve always admired.
“I have full faith in myself; who I am, what I think, and what my opinions are. I always had an opinion. Maybe it was wrong at times. But I had very strong opinions on how the world is run and what I had to say about it. I think that’s just who I am.”
That level of self-belief is not easy to hold onto in a space like Bollywood, where image often takes center stage. But Kajol made it clear that putting on a mask isn’t her style.
“It takes a lot of time and energy to put on a mask and to be a character. I’d rather get paid for it.”
Whether it’s in her powerful on-screen roles or her off-screen interviews, Kajol continues to inspire with her honesty, confidence, and zero-filter attitude!
