 "Aamir Khan & Salman Khan ‘beat around the bush’ on romancing younger heroines in Bollywood, says Kajol: 'You can’t get mad about...'")
The two iconic Khans of Bollywood, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan, were guests at the premiere episode of Prime Video’s chat show Two Much With Kajol & Twinkle Khanna.
In the episode, both the superstars were asked a question about the age gap between female and male actors in Bollywood, and their answers did not get to the point, said Kajol.
While talking to The Hollywood Reporter India, when asked about that moment in the show, Kajol replied, “No, they went around the topic quite nicely, ki humne toh nahi kiya hain… achha kiya hai kya? Really? Humko toh nahi laga (I don’t think we did, did we really do that? We don’t agree). I said really? Apko nahi laga? They beat around the bush a little bit, but they kind of did not answer it.”
“You can’t get mad about these things. You genuinely can’t. Not for any other reason, but its something out of your control. It is not something I can control,” she added.
In the episode, Kajol asked both Khans, “When the hero romances a younger woman, it’s called ‘cinema magic’. But when an older heroine romances a younger man, it’s called ‘bold’. Why do you think that is?”
Aamir Khan replied to the question and said that for him, casting “should be done based on requirement.”
“Ab itna kaam kar liya hain hum sab logone ki wo jodi purani lagti hain (We have worked together so much now that the pair looks old). So for a freshness in a film, that’s when you take up somebody else who you have not worked with that much," Salman Khan said.
“It doesn’t work in the opposite way, though,” said Kajol.
In the following episodes of the chat show, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Akshay Kumar, and Saif Ali Khan arrived as guests.
The upcoming episode will be graced by Govinda and Chunky Panday.
