Shah Rukh Khan And Ajay Devgn Are Not 'Buddies', Kajol REACTS To Husband's 'Insecurity' Rumours: 'Genuinely...'
Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol have long been celebrated as one of Bollywood's most iconic on-screen pairs. From the timeless romance of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge to the emotional depth of My Name Is Khan, their films have struck a chord with generations of moviegoers. Known for their effortless chemistry and natural camaraderie, the duo delivered some of Hindi cinema's most memorable romantic moments in hits like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, and Dilwale.
But, for years, gossip mills have speculated about tension between Ajay Devgn and Shah Rukh Khan — all because of the iconic on-screen chemistry shared by Kajol and SRK. But the actress is setting the record straight once and for all.
Speaking to Times Now, Kajol reacted to whether her husband ever felt insecure about her close bond with Shah Rukh Khan, her frequent co-star in hit romantic films.
'Nothing at all, they were pretty much rumours. Genuinely, nothing really happened. They weren't like 'Oh buddy, let's share a beer,' but today they truly respect each other," Kajol said, firmly dismissing any talk of jealousy.
She also touched on the topic of 'camps" in Bollywood, often used to describe industry cliques. 'I don't know whether there are camps anymore. There weren't camps, just friends or certain people who have worked with certain people. More than camps, it was a comfort level of whom you've worked and not worked with. I didn't have a camp, I worked with everybody. The camp system eluded me," she explained.
The Maa actor went on to talk about the understanding she and Ajay Devgn share in their personal life — including respecting each other's social preferences.
'There's no awkwardness, that's a boundary really. As people, we are individuals. I will like some things, he will not like some things and vice versa. We both decided that that's fine. As long as I don't have to sit down and whatever, I am fine, you go ahead, have friends and do whatever you want," she said.
On the work front, Kajol will next be seen in Sarzameen, a thriller set to release on JioHotstar on July 25. The film stars Prithviraj Sukumaran and Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh's son, Ibrahim Ali Khan, alongside her.

Smriti Irani recalls her mother was thrown out of her house because she couldn't have a son: ‘I was 7, that was my Agneepath'
From her beginnings as a model to becoming one of TV's top actors and eventually a Union Minister, Smriti Irani's journey from showbiz to politics has been remarkable. However, in a recent interaction, Smriti admitted that the fire in her belly ignited when she saw injustice against her mother growing up — when she resolved to provide for her siblings and mother. During a chat with Karan Johar on Mojo Story, Smriti was asked which song would represent her life. She replied, 'It would move from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to Agneepath.' When Karan asked why the shift from a love song to revenge, Smriti said, 'I am avenging possibly every kid who never had an opportunity to equally compete.' She explained that she resonates deeply with Agneepath — like the film's lead character, she tackled challenges to fulfill her mother's dream. She explained, 'Agneepath was about a son who was trying to fulfill his mother's desire. He thought that his mother has faced injustice and I always felt that for my own mother. My mother was made to leave home when I was 7 because she could not have a son. So for me, that was my Agneepath, to get my mother back and give a roof over her head.' In an earlier chat with Neelesh Misra, Smriti discussed growing up with financial constraints. 'My dad used to sell books outside an Army club. I used to sit with him, and my mother sold spices going to different homes. My dad didn't study much, while my mother graduated so those conflicts could have also been there. When they got married, they only had Rs 150. Initially, they used to live in a room above a cow's shed. Very few couples are able to survive the constraints of finance and social friction.' She also spoke about how her parents' separation affected her deeply and she refused to accept it for many years. She recalled buying her mother a home, but revealed she still pays one rupee as rent. 'My mother has lived all her life on rent. Six years back, I bought a house. My mother gives me one rupee rent so that her self-respect is intact,' she said.
