Kajol made her acting debut with Bekhudi in 1992 and since then there is no looking back. She has enthralled everyone with her performance in films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Kajol is now promoting her film, Maa, during which she also addressed her take on DDLJ sequel.

Kajol speaks up on DDLJ 2 and other cult hits

In an interview with Pinkvilla, she said, “Each film has a certain amount of magic that it produces. I can’t imagine DDLJ 2. Like train ke baad kya hua? Kisi ko pata bhi nahin karna hai. (No one wants to know what happens after the train leaves the station). Do you really want to know whether they fought over diapers or not? You don’t want to know”.

“It’s wonderful that it’s left at the end. Train chali gayi (train left) THE END, brilliant. Now you can just leave it to imagination. They lived happily ever after,” she added.

When inquired about the sequel of another cult hit Kuch Kuch Hota Hai featuring Shah Rukh Khan, she affirmed that this generation will not be able to adept well with eternal love stories. “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was great because it was a different set of people. It was a different world. You still had people who believed in that kind of love, eternal and once-in-a-lifetime kind of love. It is difficult in today’s time to conceive a story that has the same belief patterns,” she mentioned.

Kajol will now star in Vishal Furia’s directorial, Maa. The mythological horror film will be released on June 27, 2025. It also stars Ronit Roy and Indraneil Sengupta.
