Kajol: “Why Should Simran Starve for Karwa Chauth?”-DDLJ
Kajol recently shared her thoughts on her iconic role as Simran in the romantic drama Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) during an interview with The Indian Express. She expressed her disagreement with some choices made by her character, particularly the fasting for Karwa Chauth alongside Shah Rukh Khan’s character, Raj.
When her co-star Kriti Sanon mentioned Raj’s fasting, Kajol replied, “I don’t understand why people have to starve themselves. Bhookha kisko rehna hai?” This highlights her perspective on the traditional practice and her belief in not sacrificing one’s comfort.
