Bollywood's
golden
couple
Ajay
Devgan
and
Kajol
gave
a
rare
and
heartfelt
joint
interview
to
BBC
Asian
Network
last
week.
Later
this
week,
Ajay
makes
his
directorial
debut
with
U,
Me
Aur
Hum,
which
releases
in
the
UK
this
Friday,
11th
April,
and
Kajol
appears
in
it.
Speaking
on
Asian
Network's
Gagan
Grewal
show,
Kajol
and
Ajay
spoke
freely
about
their
relationship,
why
Indian
films
don't
get
nominated
for
Oscars
and
their
forthcoming
film.
When
asked
Kajol
about
those
rumours
that
she
doesn't
get
along
with
fellow
A-lister
and
cousin
Rani
Mukherjee,
to
which
Kajol
replied,
"I
think
she's
a
superb
actress.
She's
achieved
a
lot
in
her
life,
and
she
deserves
credit
for
that.
As
far
as
not
liking
her,
there's
nothing
like
that,
it's
just
we
don't
probably
meet
everyday.
Yes,
we're
not
the
best
of
friends,
but
that
doesn't
mean
we're
enemies.
It's
nothing
like
that."
They
revealed
how
the
title
for
their
forthcoming
film
U,
Me
Aur
Hum
was
actually
chosen.
Kajol
said,
'We
couldn't
find
the
right
way
to
title
our
film.'
Ajay
said,
"It's
a
film
about
two
people-
so
it's
about
you
and
me,
and
it's
about
how
we
have
become
a
'we',
so
we
thought
about
'you,
me
and
we'
and
finally
that's
how
U,
Me
Aur
Hum
came
about.
So
it
was
in
the
middle
of
a
conversation
that
the
title
popped
up.
It's
an
honest,
entertaining
commercial
film,
made
from
the
heart.
I
hope,
that
everyone
will
love
the
film
in
its
entirety."
"If
at
the
end
of
the
film
a
husband
holds
his
wife's
hand,
or
a
boyfriend
goes
and
calls
his
girlfriend,
then
I'll
know
Ajay
has
made
a
good
film," says
Kajol.
"I
wish
Ajay
all
the
love,
all
the
success".
We
delved
into
why
Indian
films
aren't
generally
nominated
for
Oscars
to
which
Kajol
replied,
"I
don't
really
know,
I
think
it's
the
fact
that
we
have
to
promote
the
right
films
that
are
made,
so
I
think
it's
the
selection
committee...
I
think
the
fault
lies
with
us,
that
we're
not
sending
the
right
films.
That
is
our
problem
really.
We
need
an
international
committee
to
chose
which
films
should
go
from
India.
Because
maybe
I
don't
think
we
have
the
objectivity
to
chose
which
film
should
go
from
our
country,
basically."
Kajol
is
also
famed
for
having
a
magical
on
screen
chemistry
with
Shahrukh
Khan.
We
asked
about
this
to
which
Kajol
replied,
"As
SRK
also
says,
there's
no
chemistry,
but
there's
a
comfort
level,
we've
known
each
other
for
years,
we're
friends.
But
there's
no
such
thing
as
chemistry.
Either
you're
a
good
or
you're
a
bad
actor."
On
the
key
to
a
successful
marriage:
"There's
nothing
to
learn,
I
think
with
each
person
the
secret
is
separate
but
behind
each
successful
marriage
you
need
to
try,
not
just
once
a
year,
but
day
by
day
to
stay
with
your
partner."
On
whether
she
misses
doing
lots
of
acting,
Kajol
replied,
"Not
at
all,
not
at
all.
Because
my
life
(touch
wood)
has
been
pretty
complete.
I've
had
a
daughter,
I
plan
to
have
some
more
children
and
I
have
a
huge
family,
so
my
heart
is
big...I
have
Ajay
in
my
life,
most
important."
Ajay
was
equally
gushing
when
talking
about
Kajol,
he
said,
"I
just
want
to
thank
her
for
just
being
with
me.
I
think
she's
made
my
life
with
just
being
with
me
and
just
being
a
part
of
my
life.
Thank
you
so
much."
We
asked
on
whether
directing
his
wife
was
awkward,
"Absolutely
not.
If
you
have
an
actress
like
Kajol,
it's
a
director's
delight,
he
can
make
the
actor
perform
or
push
the
scene
as
much
as
he
wants
because
he
knows
there's
someone
that's
going
to
deliver
it."
Ajay
has
always
been
known
as
a
man
of
few
words,
to
which
he
replied,
"That's
how
I
am,
I
am
just
an
introvert
person.
And
I
really
don't
want
to
force
myself
to
change,
I
just
make
an
effort."
Regarding
his
acting
career
and
doing
his
own
stunts
Ajay
said,
"I
don't
think
it's
a
particular
genre
which
I
like-
I
like
doing
different
things,
so
that
I
don't
get
bored
of
one
genre-
after
two
comedies
I'll
do
something
else,
and
after
that,
then
something
else.
Because
my
father
was
an
action
director
so
I've
been
trained
in
stunts-
so
I
could
do
most
of
the
stunts
myself.
Since
childhood,
I've
been
moving
around
or
training
with
his
people
so
it
comes
very
easily,
or
maybe
it's
in
the
blood."
