‘I've no right to comment on Rani's life’

“The thing is that Ajay and I are too busy with our individual lives and we don’t socialise much. So, Shah Rukh and Ajay don’t end up crossing paths,” says Kajol.

Why is it usually so tough to get you to do an interview? But when your film is releasing...
I have done interviews even when my films aren’t on the verge of a release. I should have something to talk about na?

Do you see the media as an evil necessity?
Hmmm... I see it as a necessity for sure especially when I want to promote my upcoming films. But otherwise, it’s very evil (laughs). We are bound to have paparazzi, and we shouldn’t hide our faces in the sand to run away from reality.

Does Ajay have a problem with Shah Rukh?
The thing is that Ajay and I are too busy with our individual lives and we don’t socialise much. So, Shah Rukh and Ajay don’t end up crossing paths. Since neither of them has denied or confirmed anything, these rumours haven’t died down.

Are you working with Shah Rukh in Karan Johar’s My Name is Khan ?
Karan has approached me for the same and we are talking about it.

Rajkumar Hirani wanted you to do his next film, Idiot ?
Yes, but I didn’t think I was the right choice however much I love Hirani as a director.

You are said to be short-tempered. Have you changed?
Yes, I have learnt to control my temper. I think it all began when I conceived my daughter. I haven’t exactly achieved nirvana but I have changed from what I was when I began my career at the age of 16.

Is your cousin, Rani Mukerji getting married to Aditya Chopra?
I have no right to comment on Rani’s personal life. Frankly, I have no idea if they are getting married or not.

Have you been in touch with her? We last saw you together in Karan’s chat show, Koffee with Karan.
Please! There is no cold war between us. What do you think we are? America and Iraq? I meet Rani during Durga Puja and she is a sweet girl and a fine actor.
