- Ahead of the release of her upcoming movie Helicopter Eela, Kajol talks to Anupama Chopra about her evolution at the movies over the past 26 years. She throws light on how her character in Helicopter Eela is different from Tumhari Sulu, Bucket List and Mom. In the light of Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter - Suhana Khan’s Vogue cover backlash, she also expresses her maternal instincts on protecting her children from the limelight of the showbiz.

I felt Kajol was totally herself in this interview. Honest and spoke genuinely with convention what she believes is what she believes in. Loved watching the interview.
Thanks Bhanu

I think you mean conviction and not convention.
The Hindus believe in many Gods including the Following 3, but the truth is 👉🏻 the following 3 are different attributes and names of the one God, not separate Gods.
🔷 Brahma the Creator 🔷 Vishnu the Preserver 🔷 Shiva the Destroyer.

I can’t believe she never thought she was pretty wow!! She is stunning during the days of Baazigar until dilwale period!! She was breath taking in KKHH 😍
Exactly. I always thought she was a natural beauty. Her beauty is even more popular outside India I think because a lot of non Indians think she's one of the most beautiful actresses.
Samira A book outside of India doesn’t really care for Karen’s kapoors kajol has the desi looks of beauty very unique her eyes she also looks Bengali but baazigar goodness she was breathtaking compared to someone like Alia bhaat who has no sex apeal
Oh my God! I was reading your comment, but then I look at your profile name and then your profile picture and YOU ARE A MOONWALKER. I AM TOOOOOOO!
How come.she became so fair but she was dusky and beautiful
"You're way prettier now than..." wth? She had been prettier since forever- ddlj and onwards; such a natural aura. It's sad how kajol herself didn't feel 'prettier' back in the day. She was herself without a care. Her authenticity and laid back attitude since back then until now - makes her even more charming and a favourite.
She found herself attractive and its more lovely than the word pretty
Some people hates kajol just because she just being herself🙄now I understand why srk loves kajol so much😌hates gonna be hates...
Loved the way Kajol answer all the questions so much humor and ease and still there is so much depth in it.
Aptly said.
Kajol is such a charming and inherently happy person.
True. She has a very positive energy about herself which is really infectious.
and you look adorable, in that minuscule thumbnail lol.

Probably one of the fewest interviews where Kajol is pretty serious, calm, logical with occasional giggles only. Anupama always manages to bring out the best in people.
For the first time, I felt, Anupama stopped being an interviewer somewhere in the middle of the interview and became a mother or a woman, trying to actually understand what Kajol was saying and mentally trying to apply that thought to herself. I mean, credit be given where it's due, Kajol really said a great thing about self love perhaps even without intending it. It was much deeper than just the beauty that you see. Or beauty in the most traditional sense of the word. Seeing Kajol finally at peace with herself and finding herself so pretty at over 45 Maybe even Anupama felt that epiphany that Kajol talked about. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it.
Aritra Das Kajol is 44...not above 45!!
I agree. Completely
Even I noticed the same!!
I feel the sameee
Anu saying She looks better now? Explain how so? The only difference is She is much fairer. I believe everyone looks good with their natural look
She will always be such a breath of fresh air! Ughhh I love her!
I just love Kajol...her personality...her aura...her charm...she is so real...she doesn't have to pretend to be who she is not!! I am a fan of her since Bazigaar days and I found her beautiful even then...actually I see inner beauty in people 💖💖💖.
Kajol your fans always believed your beautiful from your 1st movie we can wait to see you here I hope it releases in NZ!
Kiwi lover are you living in New Zealand? How is the place? I really want to visit this country. I live in Michigan
I think Kajol was way prettier 20 years ago - she was unapologetically herself and that was so appealing apart from of course her gorgeous brown eyes, her bright smile, pretty face structure etc etc. Somewhere along the way she lost her originality and naturalness and bought in to society's dated concepts of beauty. It is a very Indian thing (yes, even today) to equate fair skin with beauty. I am surprised to hear this coming from Anupama that Kajol is more beautiful today.
True
Excuse me but she has green eyes
Exactly. I just saw her songs from bekhudi and I thought to myself this woman is breath taking. She was always a natural beauty. I'm surprised that she didn't believe it herself.
@@indiancookingwithatwist4060 I think it's more that she has hazel eyes (green and brown) that change colors depending on the lighting. I think it was in Hameshaa (there are so much shots of her eyes in that movie... As it should be) her eyes go from hazel to brown, to green, to a kind of light grey. It's very unique.

shriraj misra I love you 😂
shriraj misra so true
😂
Her sense of humour omg.She never ever bored u.she s so positive 😍😍😍😍😍
Kajol speaks so fluently I mean without taking breath so fast & make breathtaking gesture by interview
This channel is legitimately underrated . Please do make your presence felt on social media. 🙏
Pranav Deshmukh they have really high contacts.. Thats it..
But they deliver quality. Nothing else. They deserve applause.
Confuse due to Kajol honesty. I always see her as one of the most stunning actresses of Bollywood
I just love how she’s so straight forward and always honest. it seemed like they were actually having a girl talk rather than an interview at the beginning when they were chatting about motherhood and anu felt connected to the topic. Also, what kajol said about self love and what being an actor means is so true. But I don’t quite agree with the comment @ 19:32 “you are way prettier now” like excuse me?? she looked astonishing with her beautiful caramel skin during baazigar, ddlj, kkhh, and U Me Aur Hum. Not to say she doesn’t look beautiful now. she looks as gorgeous as ever.. it’s just sad she went fairer, but whatever makes her happy I guess and that fact she feels more confident now is all that matters Right?!
She made an interesting point when talking about working on We Are Family and rediscovering the process of acting. Even though the film was a dud, I strongly felt she did an excellent job there and moved beyond the mostly garden variety expressions she used in her previous films (with exceptions such as Dushman etc). Just watch the reham-o-karam song from that film and look at the complexity of emotions on her face! That's the kind of stuff she should be doing and that's the kind of stuff most Kajol fans expect from her!
I always found kajol beautiful from very start. Her eyes are very expressive and sexy.....
Her nose is the sexiest part see hw shiny and erotic it is.
I want her to blow that nose
@@Shubham_Sharma_Official you just see her nose closely hw sexy it is so shiny and lustrous , dont you get aroused after seeing that.
I am ready to clean her nose throughout my life
I wish she always had bad cold and she blows kilos of thick yellow snot on my tool.
Chipar chipar chipar
@@Shankar-Bhaskar none of them brother they dont have my kind of noses.
@@Shankar-Bhaskar the new edition in my nose gallery is aditi hundia.
You just look at her and enjoy nosy nosy
@UCScZMDYSLbI7meMAZUeUzIQ yes iam scarlett johansson and elisha cuthbert are my fav.
Luv her personality and loved the interview!!💖💖😍😍
one of the best interview of kajol I've came across,completely inspiring,motivating🙂🙂
She is full of life and so young energetic soul.
It's such a delight to listen Kajol!
Anu its pretty rude and misleading to say Kajol wasn't beautiful 25 years ago if she wasn't why was she so popular especially among so many other so called beautiful actors ?
Kiwi lover:-but that’s a fact she wasn’t! And u r Calling anu rude,I hardly feel you hv watched sufficient interviews of Kajol she is the rudest celebrity and moreover being popular doesn’t means she should b beautiful. There r many other examples out there who aren’t beautiful but very popular! Perhaps very popular than this female.
Rude ? really. ??
blunt maybe.. but rude no way.
you just got two very genuine people having a hearty conversation.. with egos aside
Pooja how is she rude? Share some links to prove your point.
Why - is being popular directly proportional to beauty.. then fardeen khan would hVe been a bigger success than srk
Kiwi lover I found that odd too. I'm sure kajol was considered beautiful by many at the time. If kajol did care about how she looked back then, I'm sure she would've made a point to look good on screen. She has stated in interviews that she didn't actually care how she looked back then. Here she's saying that she didn't think she was beautiful. If that's the case, I think she would've tried even harder to look good on screen. Her statement here doesn't make sense.
Your face and body changes with time. She was young then and she didn't choose roles that were too glamorous. It's all perception and subjective. And I think that kajol is one actress who has always accepted herself for who is, that's why she did roles that were not glamorous and that's why even today she doesn't overdress. She has always seemed at peace with herself and the way she looks. Now she's not trying to look her best. Lack of effort when you're young doesn't mean that you don't think you look good. It just means that you're not trying to look your best. Maybe there's a sense of laziness too.
Somebody out there will think kajol is beautiful. Other actresses from that time or even her own cousins may not look half as good as she does now. It's all subjective. And facial features change. Some peoples change drastically. We look better when we actively put in effort to look our BEST.
I was a huge fan of kajol for embracing her skin tone, body type and just being herself without trying to fit-in and yet beautiful and charming on screen. She went through a whole insecure phase and resorted to skin lightening treatment!! to each their own! But certainly both the women feel the same about beauty (read - shallow) is definitely forthcoming. Wouldn't blame anupama alone here for that compliment. Kajol for once is less bratish and was interesting in this conversation. Although her tone and vehemence on each syllable is jarring!
Kajol, you were a stunner back then too, with your dusky charm and appeal, it was much more "you" (that unibrow!) than having similar complexion or features as you say as others, which only ends up making all look the same.
This interview teaches every men and women to believe in yourself to look beautiful ,self believe is key of success👍👍
I like how she explained the movie in the begining 🙂
A little rude edge is underlining this interview. From Anupama's side. Specially the comment of being more beautiful now. A little offensive. Anyone else agrees?
Kajol is not beautiful - just a good actress
Kajol was less beautiful compared to other actresses of her time... If she was not a great actress she wouldn't have got many chances
Yeah, that was a little awkward.
Radhika Nagu *more prettier. And no, it wasn't rude at all. Just honest.
I agree.
what a genuinely, unapologetically COOL woman
her bubbly nature and cuteness are still same..really love you..
Intelligent, witty and Gorgeous! That's who Kajol is. Looking forward to watching Helicopter Eela
Kajol is so fresh always, talk and looks both.
Soo crave to see her in author backed, performance oriented serious roles .
Such a Happy and feel good interview.
It's my first time watching Kajol in an interview, wow its so fun, I like her personality
In an era of ppl coming out of their complexion of nt feeling ugly by having dusky,wheatish skin anupama comes in&say hw kajol is more attractive today by skin lightening thn she was whn she was dusky,whn will u move on frm tht skin debate! Disappointed
tibouk tou no such thing as skin lightening or every black person out there would be white she has just been keeping out of the sun
tibouk tou Anupama didn’t mention skin anywhere! All dusky people always have to fight their stupid battle everywhere. Its like the dusky ones have so much inferiority complex that they need constant approval.
but why didn't she fix her unibrows
Such an amazing conversation...never felt like an interview. Seems like I am watching an episode of Friends 👌
Have loved Kajol as a actor always and she looked amazing in every phase of her career. Still remember all her production pictures in Screen newspaper right from her 1st movie...and also remember the first production pictures of Mr Devgn too in Screen newspaper.
She is honest and that makes her endearing
after motherhood she has done many few films
fanan hit
u me aur him above average
my name is khan hit
we are family above average
after that 5 years break for her son
dilwale block buster in oversees and semi hit in india
VIP2 hit
only actress with awesome success ratio
the record that her movie is still running after 23 years so no one can beat her
Fabulous interview. It made me smile through out. ✨
this lady seats in a time machine capsule.She is looking better with age.Girls these daes aged faster than her.Kajol is timeless beauty 😍😍😍😍
Most natural actress of late 90s and early 2000s
Actresses in late 30s 40s 50s are having good strong 💪 roles in Bollywood.... Marathi & Tamil film industry....that's a great change 💕💕💕💕💕💕 English Vinglish , Tumhari Sulu, Hichki, Lipstick Under My Burkha , Mom, Manikarnika , Kahaani, Bucket List, Lust Stories , U Turn, Kolamau Kokila ...the list is amazing ⭐️
"whether u like or not like the person sitting opposite u..u have to interview"..she s greattttt.she s so fucking honest.what she feel she ll convey whether u like her or not she doesn't care.she s always fresh.she s just like the same fresh air.😍😍😍😍😍
I was seen her first time in pyar Kiya toh darna Kya..and I love from that day to till...and my all time fav.gid bless her...plz don't go like u me hum.and dilwale script... She is so talented actress .. factory of expression...
Pleas God protect Kajol in all cost!! She is too precious !! India’s main proud female actress !!!
Every interview kajool look energetic and happiest person in bollywood
Thank you for mentioning Sridevi. She is the trendsetter.
Great interview. Happy and thoughtful, which is not an usual combine.
Love yourself is the best thing in world, agree.
Thts such an energetic interview... love u kajol
She gave nicely to Anupama mentioning that she is still giving interview inspite of not liking her
SHE IS STUNNING ! NO ONE CAN MATCH HER .
I don't know why she felt she wasn't look good in her earlier film .....I found her cute , innocent , as well as most beautiful actress till the date . I love watching her interviews bcoz she is very much outspoken she don't care what people think about her . I adore her a lot . N I wanted to be like her as a person ❤️👍
Kajol is so herself, and that is amazing! And I love the way the questions have been framed, Anupama mam looks so invested while Kajol answers, maybe she is able to connect somewhere about being a mother and the sacrifices one has to make. So nice to see this! Mam thanks a lot. Offlate I have missed stuff on FC, but I am catching up on everything now! :) :) Always a joy, and learning!
Thanks a lot FC, thanks a lot Anupama Mam
Big Love
-Amrita
She is lovely ,straight forward person...
She didn't believe she was beautiful???? She looked extremely gorgeous to my eyes..always🥰🥰😘❤️
This interview, especially the end, instilled in me much needed confidence. Anupama Mam thanks again for holding up a great interview. :)
Great actress kajol ❤
Kajol. Polished. Intelligent. Eloquent.👍
such an honest interview . simply loved it .
Boy, that reference to the "Dirty Harry" quote is just priceless!
Lol, this was like two SoBo women taking their personal disliking with each other (more so on Anupama’s part) public. What’s with ‘prettier than what you were 25 years ago’ and ‘mein apni favorite hoon’ remarks!
Kajol very smartly in her candid style got back to her with “even if you dont like the person sitting opposite you in an interview, you have to act professional.”
What do u mean by liking or disliking people? You say acting is your profession then be a professional ... and stop being rude by saying you dislike people
Yeah, it was brave and courageous of srk and gauri to arrange a vogue cover pic for Suhana.. #justsaying
I do think the question/statement of "You look much better now than before" was a little weird though, I think she's evolved very well, but I still love her old looks.
Film Companion is really doing a great job!
Kajol is looking so much like her mom :) She did a good job in her comeback :)
Why does she emphasize on every word? she sure is gorgeous but her interview is just so harsh on the ears....!!!!!
Helicopter Eela premise looks similar to Nil Battey Sanata
Swati Kamath yup
Yeah...but this film is more urbanized
No
Instead of mother joining school, here she joins college.
Swati Kamath we should not judge any film without watching
even Dhadak was a remake and people knew its story but still it managed to earn good money at bo
Why do I feel like Anupama hates kajols guts, idk
Because she is feminist. And generally feminist woman dont like strong woman. Kyonki unka scope kam ho jata h ;)
A I think they mutually hate each other 😅
A spot on dude :) I felt it too
Roshan Sawariya yess... They are emitting that energy so much
Kajol is very straightforward and doesn't pretend just because she is on camera...she is the real one and you know Most people doesn't like gutsy woman like that.
She just gave a dubbed version of I feel pretty movie....ahhh may be somebody just saw it during a flight
The last 3 minutes were excellent... 😊
Kajol is looking so beautiful, intelligent and sense of humor
Kajol is a person with confidence she has answers to everything with a sense of humor, I am from Nepal and I love her energy level she shows what she is.
kajol mam you were superb fabulous in this interview,words were coming out like bullets, one of my best favourite interview of yours on youtube☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
Kajol mam u are best
I really like Kajol's take on things what I like the most about her is that she is such a brainiac she has an intelligence that the younger generation of actors do not have.
Anila Nayyar What does v mean?
Suzanna Valliere sorry typed by mistake
Totally agree...what you believe, you manifest that. 😍👌
I think kajol looked less pretty in her past just because she was not aware of making herself look beautiful and she was quite careless about fashion. She has just become a little bit fair now. That's the difference. Except this, her face, eyes, hair everything is naturally beautiful. The matter is same about other actresses too. Everyone looks better now than she used to look in her first few films. And i enjoyed the interview. Kajol ma'am is always very charming.
Kajol's expressions while she talks💗💗💗
Lmao, Anupama, did you really think the backlash Vogue received for Suhana's cover was unwarranted that you felt the need to put into a question that makes it sound like it was unfair? You could have set the premise for the question by mentioning how the private pictures of star kids like that of Suhana & Navya are leaked by News portals online without their consent or the constant sexualisation of them.
Also, it's wrong of you to say she's prettier now. She's definitely gotten fairer, did something to her skin to lighten it
No. I disagree. Anupama didn't ask the question from that angle at all. She just asked how the parents feel when putting out their children for scrutiny. It had nothing to do with the N word you're getting at.
Yes, I wonder why nobody has the guts to ask Kajol what happened to her skin colour. It's shameful how many actresses have miraculously gotten fairer over the years.
Hi Sowrya, I wasn’t commenting on whether it was fair or unfair. I was asking as a parent how do you feel about putting your kid into a hostile environment. I have no idea about skin lightening so would prefer not to comment on it.
- Anupama Chopra
She contradicts herself "I do films I would want to watch" and then "I have done films I didn't believe in". And Rani is correct, box office does matter. No matter how great you are, people won't sign a non bankable star (in general) today.
Abdul Rahman Khan Rani is fake, She is so flirty with srk, and other stars
@@arhanmalik3922
What I wrote there was only about movies and what she spoke in her interview with Anupama. It was pure logic and fact. What they do in their personal lives, flirt or romance is none of my business. They are actors and that's what matters, not their personal lives. #myopinion
@@abdulrahmankhan667 kajol film is still running she in cinema she and srk are just offered hindi medium 2
@@princess201coolify I guess you didn't understand what I was trying to say. Please read that again. Btw her last release Eela was a box-office disaster, day one it collected something close to 2crs and didn't show any growth. Hindi medium 2 is in the news, let's see if that happens.
I think she was referring to the number of movies she signed after Udhaar ki Zindagi (1994). She has said in several interviews that after that movie, she was so emotionally drained that she almost quit. Then she signed small roles in several movies that didn't demand too much of her. Hence Hulchul, Gundaraj, Taaqat, Karan Arjun in 1995. Ironically, 1995 is also the year of DDLJ.
She is sooo Awesome!
She's a darling ❤
Ohh God..... I love this women!!!!! 😘😘😘😘
You've asked some tough questions!! Awesome :)
I love Kajol..wish she would make another movie with SRK
How could Anupama say that she is prettier now, 😒 she is always pretty ❤️then and now. I enjoyed the whole interview but at this point I got really disappointed.
Kajol was always very pretty in her early career, she honestly age well over the years which helped her to enhance her leoioness beauty... as madurit her is beauty natural. Love both actresses 💜💛💚💙❤
What a honest interview
Omg Anupama is basically saying now your skin is lighter ur prettier! Because Kajol hasn't changed!! She's still beautiful
20:52, I love this moment....
My all time favorite actress! Love her.
Hindi movie .. interview in English ..don't understand..but love you kajol...so have to listen.
Kajol is loud..that makes her interesting...and yesss she is gorgoues day by day...
The host is so polite😊
