Kajol is gearing up for the release of The Trial season 2 that will stream on Jio Hotstar from September 18. In an interview recently, the actress revealed she broke down on the sets of Bekhudi when she had to slap her co-star Kamal Sadanah as per Brut India.
The actress revealed in an interview, “It went beyond my morality, my ethics, my conscience. I liked Kamal. He was so sweet and so nice to me. A perfect gentleman. He was lovely to work with. Why would I slap him? It was so alien to me then.”
She added, “My director said I think you want to slap him. I think you are punishing him and that’s why you keep on doing this retake again and again. You want to do it. You are punishing him for something.”
Kajol also said, “And after that I was like, ‘now, you watch’. Then there was one perfect take. But after that I cried, I howled. I have apologised to Kamal. I said I am sorry because it affected me on a deep level that I have done something completely unfair with someone who totally didn’t deserve it and it was just so wrong.”
In an interview with The Lallantop, Kajol addressed the issue that happened 13 years ago and said, “Fights are always difficult, especially when they remain unresolved for some time. At that point, when you have a situation like that in front of you, both parties were standing for themselves.”
She added, “As somebody who was connected to both sides, I felt helpless. You have to wait for time to pass, so that the feelings subside. So that things can become ok again.”
Actor Kajol says maintaining work-life balance has always been a priority since she started acting in the 1990s and the journey became easier with the support of her family as well as the producers.
