Kajol Reveals Real Reason She Does Not Like Watching Her Own Films: 'I Am Really Bad'
Actress Kajol, known for blockbusters like DDLJ and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, admits she doesn't watch her own movies.
Actress Kajol, who has delivered some amazing blockbusters during her tenure, does not watch her own movies. Yes, you read it right. During an exclusive conversation with IANS, Kajol was asked if she watches her own movies. Speaking to IANS, the 'Maa' actress admitted that she does not watch her own movies.
'No, I don't, I am really bad. I don't watch films, period. I am more of a reader, so I watch films very rarely," Kajol said.
When asked which of her movies she would like to see again in the theatres, Kajol picked out some of her favourites, saying, 'Well, DDLJ has been released, and I would like to see Kuch Kuch Hota Hai back again in the cinemas."
Adding to the list, she went on to say, 'And maybe Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha – I think that's one film that I would like to see on screen again. I think it would be fun to watch Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha again."
Work-wise, Kajol will next be seen in the highly anticipated drama, 'Sarzameen," co-starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Ibrahim Ali Khan.
Shedding light on her role, Kajol said, 'Sarzameen called for an emotional depth that really intrigued me as an actor. The role resonated with me on a very personal level. I was happy to see Ibrahim bring to life such a complex character and I am very excited for him. My character in Sarzmeen has so many layers – she is the emotional core of the story and Kayoze's vision has portrayed it on screen in a compelling way. I am looking forward to the release of the film."
Additionally, Kajol has also joined forces with author Twinkle Khanna for a talk show, titled 'Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle".
The two ladies are expected to hold fiery and candid conversations with some of the biggest names in Bollywood.

Karisma Kapoor's Marriage To Sunjay Kapur Was 'Abrupt', Says Suneel Darshan: 'She Became A Trophy'
Last Updated: Suneel Darshan opens up on Karisma Kapoor's 'abrupt' marriage to Sunjay Kapur, saying she didn't fit into Delhi culture and became a 'trophy' for the family. Filmmaker Suneel Darshan, who has worked closely with Karisma Kapoor, has opened up about her marriage to businessman Sunjay Kapur, calling it 'abrupt." Speaking to journalist Vickey Lalwani on his YouTube channel, Darshan reflected on Karisma's personal life, her bond with Sunjay's family, and how her life changed after the wedding. When asked if he reached out to Karisma after Sunjay Kapur's recent passing, Darshan responded with warmth and empathy. 'We've exchanged this thing… I've known the issue too deeply. Right from the first day, I've known exactly," he said, recalling how Karisma was best friends with Sunjay Kapur's sister since childhood. 'Some things just need to be buried," he added, hinting at Karisma's tumultuous married life. The Abrupt End of Karisma Kapoor-Abhishek Bachchan, and Sudden Marriage Darshan described both Karisma's breakup with Abhishek Bachchan and her wedding to Sanjay Kapur as sudden. 'I thought it was an abrupt decision… something had to do with the stars — not film stars — the stars," he said. He also suggested that the marriage may have followed the emotional aftermath of her broken engagement. 'One didn't know what it was… she was never seen as a couple with Sanjay before. Some things are destined to happen." Karisma Wanted to Be a Homemaker, Not a Socialite Darshan recalled how Karisma had envisioned a homely life post-marriage. 'She wanted to be a domesticated wife… She wasn't the kind who wanted to go play golf on a Saturday. She wanted to spend time at home," he shared. He described Karisma as someone grounded despite her stardom. She was 'a nice girl, a very nice girl like that… it's very sad." 'She Became a Trophy for the Family' Darshan didn't mince words when asked if Karisma had become a 'trophy wife' for Sanjay's family. 'I think that was where the problem came. That's what I heard," he said. 'She was placed into a world which was not hers. Delhi has its own culture and she wasn't fitting into it." Despite her fame, Darshan said Karisma was never pretentious and came from a legacy rooted in simplicity, being Raj Kapoor's granddaughter and a former No.1 heroine. But in her new life, 'she was in this palatial house with endless cars… and it just wasn't her world." Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband, Sunjay Kapur, passed away in June 2025. His death was attributed to a heart attack, possibly triggered by a bee sting during a polo match in the UK. Sunjay Kapur and Karisma Kapoor were married from 2003 to 2016. They have two kids together. First Published: July 25, 2025, 01:31 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Prithviraj Sukumaran compares Kajol to Mohanlal, calls her a gifted actress: 'The greatest thing about collaborating with such actors is...'
Prithviraj Sukumaran recently praised Kajol 's acting and compared her to the great Malayalam actor Mohanlal . He stars alongside her in the upcoming film 'Sarzameen.' According to him, she is one of the most talented actors he has ever worked with, emphasising her capacity to create emotionally charged scenes with little outward show. Prithviraj Sukumaran on Kajol's acting brilliance and on-set camaraderie While promoting 'Sarzameen,' Prithviraj told Bollywood Bubble that Kajol's performance style reminded him of Malayalam icon Mohanlal. He described her ability to portray emotionally charged scenes with little to no effort as a unique and natural talent. He claims that even though Kajol does not use a lot of preparation, her performances are incredibly powerful and real. Further, he said, the Bollywood actress is an incredibly gifted actor and working with her was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Her energy on set is infectious, like a continuous jolt of caffeine, in the best way possible. That said, filming emotional scenes with her wasn't always easy. There's one in particular where her line goes, 'No matter how deeply a son may love his mother, he ultimately grows up to be his father. ' For some reason, they couldn't stop laughing during that moment, and director Kayoze Irani had all but "given up" on them. Still, it was a memorable experience for Prithviraj. "I've long admired her talent and truly hope we get the chance to work together again," he said. About Sarzameen 'Sarzameen' is an upcoming Hindi-language film which stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Kajol, and Ibrahim Ali Khan. The film is directed by Kayoze Irani and is set to premiere on JioCinema on July 25, 2025. In the same interview, Prithviraj Sukumaran reiterated his admiration for Aamir Khan, calling him 'a pathbreaker in so many different ways.' He praised Khan's relentless curiosity and ability to challenge norms, both in cinema and in thought. Prithviraj added that Aamir's presence in 'Sarzameen' as a producer upgraded the project, and working with him was creatively enhancing.
