What was Kajol's remark on Ramoji Film City?
For the unversed, Kajol called Ramoji Film City among the 'most haunted places in the world'. In an interview with Galatta India, the actress was asked if she had ever experienced negative energy on the film sets. To which, she said, "I have experienced this multiple times. Call it negative energy or vibes, but sometimes, when you go to a place, you feel like something isn't right. I've shot at places where I couldn't sleep all night, where I felt it would be good if I could just leave this place.'
Furthermore, she mentioned, "A prime example is Ramoji Rao Studios in Hyderabad, which is considered one of the most haunted places in the world. I am lucky enough not to have seen anything, though."
On the work front, Kajol's upcoming mytho-horror movie, Maa, is slated to hit the screens on June 27. Directed by Vishal Furia, the film is marketed as a part of Ajay Devgn -R Madhavan's Shaitaan universe. It will be interesting to see how the movie performs at the box office.

This actor played role of Bollywood's scariest villain till date in this 1998 film, actress played double role, has IMDb rating of 6.8, movie is…, his name is…
If we talk about a dangerous villain, then today's generation will probably call a scary face a dreadful and terrifying villain, but people of the 90s know who was that villain of that era whose face and look were very normal but he created such terror with his expressions and style that even after the film was over, the fear did not go away from the mind. 1998 Action Thriller Dushman Here we are talking about actor Ashutosh Rana, who played the character of Gokul Pandit in 1998 film 'Dushman,' starring Kajol.' Apart from Kajol, Sanjay Dutt was also there. In this film, Ashutosh Rana played his character of Gokul Pandit in such a way that it would create fear in your hearts and minds. Ashutosh Rana brought such life to the character of Gokul with his acting and performance that he became one of the most dreaded villains of Bollywood. Even today, on hearing the name of Gokul Pandit, that devilish face flashes before the eyes. Kajol Played Double Role Kajol was in a double role in the film, which revolves around two sisters, Sonia and Naina. When Sonia is murdered in the film, Naina decides to take revenge. Sanjay Dutt, who played the character of blind veteran, helps Kajol in this film and both of them fight against Gokul Pandit. Later, Naina sets a trap for Gokul and attempts to kill him, but Gokul restrains her and tries to assault her like he did with her sister. Suraj comes to her house and confronts Gokul, but he gets stabbed in the process. Naina eventually breaks free and shoots Gokul fatally. More About Dushman At 44th Filmfare Awards, 'Dushman' took home the Best Villain award (Rana) and was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress (Tanvi Azmi). Additionally, Kajol was nominated for Best Actress for her role in the ceremony, but she won the award for her performance in 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.' The film has an IMDb rating of 6.8, which is currently available for viewing on Prime Video.

Kajol says Shah Rukh Khan once told her to learn acting; recalls feeling ‘exhausted and burnt out' at 18: ‘I didn't want to keep doing roles where I had to…'
Although Indian cinema has long had iconic on-screen couples like Raj Kapoor–Nargis Dutt, Dilip Kumar–Vyjayanthimala, Prem Nazir–Sheela, MG Ramachandran (MGR)–Saroja Devi, Amitabh Bachchan–Rekha, Kamal Haasan–Sridevi and Mohanlal–Shobana, among others, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol remain a fan favourite and arguably one of the most adored acting duos of all time. From Baazigar (1993), Karan Arjun (1995) and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) to Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001), and My Name Is Khan (2010), the two have shared the screen multiple times, delivering countless unforgettable moments. Off-screen too, the duo share a warm and affectionate bond. Recently, Kajol spoke candidly about her longtime friend, highlighting his relentless work ethic in becoming Bollywood's Baadshah. 'Shah Rukh is a huge star. The films we did together were massively successful. I think we have been good for each other on screen. I give him as much credit as he gives me as far as the movies are concerned. As far as his career is concerned, he has worked so hard to be where he is today. If he calls himself 'King Khan', he has worked very hard to be there. The credit for his career belongs to him,' she shared during a chat with The Lallantop. Kajol also recalled a piece of advice Shah Rukh gave her early in her career. Though she didn't grasp its full meaning at the time, it eventually resonated with her. 'Shah Rukh used to tell me, 'Baby, you better learn how to act. This habit of giving your all in every shot will wear you out'. I, of course, didn't listen and kept going. But the kind of films I was doing at that time were heavy, the best example being Udhaar Ki Zindagi (1994). I think I was 18 or something while doing that movie. After the film was completed, I was exhausted, and I understood what Shah Rukh said. For every shot in every film, you can't afford to give… I mean, you can't be so into the role that you give your 300% to it. You are basically giving your soul away then,' she shared. Because of these perfectionist tendencies, Kajol revealed she felt burnt out after just four films. 'I was tired. I told my mother, 'I don't want to do films any more'. I was burnt out at 18. I said I didn't want to keep doing roles where I had to cry constantly or invest so much of myself. It was only after that phase that I started learning, as SRK called it, the technique of acting.'
