Not SRK, Kajol Reveals She Would Have Gone With Salman Khan's Character In ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’

Kajol played the role of Anjali in the film, which also starred Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan.

‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ is considered to be one of the most successful Bollywood films. Directed by Karan Johar, it starred Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji, Kajol and Salman Khan. While SRK was seen as Rahul, Kajol featured in the role of Anjali. Joining them were Salman in the role of Aman and Rani as Tina.

In a recent interview, Kajol revealed that she would have never worn sarees after her character's transformation, and would have gone with Salman aka Aman instead of SRK during the ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ climax scene. She told Humans of Bombay, "My version of Anjali would never be wearing a saree. She would be wearing those track pants and fab, expensive sneakers with it and make that look good."

She further added, "On the script level, maybe I would have gone with Salman's character, but in the film, if you watch the film, there is no choice about the ending, it has to be the way it is."

In the same interview, Kajol also recalled how she was body shamed in the early days of her career. "She is dark, she is fat and she wears specs all the time. These were some of the judgments that were passed when I first started working in the industry. I couldn’t care less. I knew I was smart, cool and better than everyone out there who had any negatives to say about me. So, I kept continuing to be myself and never let it show. Sooner or later, when they couldn’t pull me down, the world simply embraced me for who I was - Kajol,” she quipped.

On the work front, the actress was seen in Revathy’s ‘Salaam Venky’.
