Kajol says Salman Khan's star power is unmatched; calls Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan ‘extremely professional'
Kajol
recently opened up about her experiences working with Bollywood's biggest superstars—Shah Rukh Khan,
Aamir Khan
, and
Salman Khan
. In a candid conversation, the actress reflected on the professionalism of Shah Rukh and Aamir, while also spotlighting Salman's larger-than-life stardom, offering a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into her dynamic with the three Khans.
In an interview with Galatta India, Kajol praised Shah Rukh and Aamir for their strong work ethic and professionalism, noting how committed and disciplined they are on set. At the same time, she acknowledged Salman Khan's unparalleled mass appeal, pointing out that his consistent popularity and box office pull remain unmatched, regardless of a film's performance.
When told that
Akshay Kumar
has equaled Salman with 18 films crossing the rs 100 crore mark, Kajol acknowledged the achievement but noted that when it comes to sheer star power, Salman remains in a league of his own—something even Akshay would likely agree with.
Salman and Kajol have shared the screen in several popular films over the years, including Karan Arjun, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya. Among these, their on-screen chemistry in Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya was particularly well-received, leaving a lasting impression on audiences.
The actress is gearing up for her next release, Maa, a mythological horror film directed by Vishal Furia. The film also stars
Ronit Roy
, Indraneil Sengupta, and Kherin Sharma, and is produced by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande. Maa is set to hit theatres on 27 June.
Meanwhile, Salman Khan was last seen in Sikandar and will next appear in an action-packed film alongside
Sanjay Dutt
. He also has Kick 2, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, in the pipeline.

Did Kajol undergo skin whitening treatment? She was once called 'fat and dark', but later....
While our society's long-standing and unhealthy obsession with people's weight and complexion is an open secret, cyberbullies on social media have only amplified these attacks, especially against women. Dark-skinned, pale-skinned, too thin, too fat, no one is spared. Actress Kajol, who has been active in the industry for years, has faced significant challenges due to her skin colour. Why was Kajol trolled? Kajol comes from a film background. Her mother, Tanuja, was also a popular actress, and her father, Shomu Mukherjee, was a film director. Kajol has delivered several superhit films, including Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. However, in an old interview, she revealed that she had to face challenges due to her skin tone. She was often called dark, fat, and was mocked for always wearing glasses. Despite the criticism, it didn't affect her much. She knew she was cool, smart, and better than others. Over time, Kajol began telling herself she looked good by simply looking in the mirror. She once said, 'Keep faking it until you believe it – and eventually, you will.' Did Kajol undergo skin whitening treatment? There were also reports claiming that Kajol had undergone skin whitening treatment. However, she completely denied these claims during a chat show. According to a report by The Times of India, Kajol explained that she had worked in the sun for 10 years, which caused her skin to tan. When she stopped working outdoors and spent more time at home, the tanning naturally faded. Metioning about Kajol's career, she started her career in 1992 with the film Bekhudi. After this, she worked in many great films and proved herself. She has done films like Baazigar, Yeh Dillagi, Karan Arjun, Hulchul, Gupt, Ishq, Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya, Dushman, Hote Tete Pyar Ho Gaya, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Gundaraj, Devi, Dilwale.
