Before Ajay Devgn, Kajol had a huge crush on THIS actor, romanced him in one film, his name is..., their movie was...
We often get to know some major tea from one of our favourite shows, Koffee With Karan, and we're always more than excited for every episode. In the last season of Koffee With Karan, we saw Kajol and Ajay Devgn—and yes, we did get to know something! Kajol stepped onto Bollywood's stage at just 16 with the 1992 film Bekhudi . Her unapologetic charm and captivating presence quickly carved out her niche. Today, she's not only Ajay Devgn's wife and mother of two but also a leading name in Indian cinema. Before Ajay, there was… You may be surprised to learn that Kajol's first Bollywood crush wasn't Ajay Devgn—but Akshay Kumar. Director Karan Johar revealed on The Kapil Sharma Show , 'I remember Kajol had a crush on Akshay Kumar.' That infatuation was real: Kajol and Akshay co-starred in only one film, Ye Dillagi (1994), yet their chemistry sparked a viral clip that resurfaced online, showing Kajol repeatedly stealing glances at 'Akki.' 'I remember Kajol had a crush on Akshay Kumar.' — Karan Johar Watch the old video here A resurfaced video from Ye Dillagi has made rounds on social media, capturing Kajol's lingering stares at Akshay. Audiences continue to be charmed by her youthful fascination, which has become a nostalgic internet moment for fans of '90s Bollywood. Kajol's friendship with Karan Johar also started on that set. Johar recounts seeing Kajol searching the crowd for Akshay during the filming of Hina . 'He noticed that Kajol was looking for someone—and it wasn't me; it was Akshay,' Johar shared. The shared search sparked not romance, but a strong creative camaraderie that continues to this day. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Divya Bharti (@memories_left1) Kajol's recent film Now, Kajol is venturing into the supernatural. In her upcoming horror film Maa , set for release on 27 June 2025 in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali, she embraces a new, chilling persona. Promoting the film through various events, Kajol is preparing fans for her return to theatres—this time far removed from teenage crushes and romantic dramas. Kajol's story—starting as a bold teen, blossoming into a leading lady, wife, and mom, and now evolving into a horror-film protagonist—reflects her versatility and enduring appeal. From glancing at Akshay Kumar to blazing her trail, Kajol remains one of Bollywood's most compelling figures.

Karan Johar says will have to move to London with friends if their WhatsApp group chats come out: ‘We may not be able to continue living in our city'
On his controversial chat show Koffee with Karan, host Karan Johar has often referred to his fiercely guarded WhatsApp groups with fellow Bollywood celebrities. One of them being 'GUTS,' where the filmmaker breaks down airport looks and red carpet appearances of his industry colleagues with friends Kareena Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, and Rhea Kapoor among others. During a recent event in London, when an audience member asked Johar to publish a book on those WhatsApp chats, Johar responded cheekily. 'If anyone ever got access to those WhatsApp groups about me and many of my friends in the fraternity, I think we would have to move to London. We may not be able to continue living in our city,' he said. In the interview with Mojo Story, Johar explained further, 'Because let me tell you, they are very candid, honest, and sometimes very b*tchy analysis of our immediate environment and what is going on. We are fashion critics, we are movie critics. We are critics of everything in that group. Everyone has an opinion, and none of us can ever put those opinions out there.' In the same chat, Johar revealed he's part of not only these gossip groups on WhatsApp, but also some serious ones as the single parent of his kids Yash and Roohi. 'It can be very daunting, and also hilarious when you're on two WhatsApp groups with 30 mothers on one and 32 mothers on another. They're in two divisions: A and B,' Johar explained. 'Every morning, I wake up to these 62 amazing women saying 'Ladies!' And I say, 'Hello? I'm also on this WhatsApp group!' But they're so nurturing and helpful. They've really helped me through some tough times because I really don't know. Whenever I go to a parent-teacher meeting, I'm always doing two roles (as a father and a mother) and hearing for both of them. That's the joy of having twins,' he added. Johar became a father to Yash and Roohi in 2017 via surrogacy. Also Read — Karan Johar recalls how troll saying 'you've denied your kids a mother' made him cry: 'I asked my five-year-olds if they're happy' Johar is a published author as Penguin Random House released his memoir An Unsuitable Boy in 2016. It was co-authored by Johar and journalist Poonam Saxena. On the work front, Johar will next direct his first series for Netflix India. His last directorial was the 2023 hit family comedy Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in lead roles.
