Koffee With Karan 8: Here's Why Rani, Kajol Maintained Distance On KKHH Sets Despite Being Cousins
Koffee With Karan 8: The sixth episode of Koffee With Karan 8, featuring Kajol and Rani Mukerji, has been deemed the most hilarious and entertaining episode of the season by fans. Karan Johar welcomed his leading ladies from his first film, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and the trio engaged in heartfelt conversations with surprising revelations.
At one point in the latest episode, Rani and Kajol revealed that they were not close during the initial days of their careers, and Karan revealed that Kajol maintained "a silent distance" from Rani Mukerji during the filming of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. For the uninitiated, Rani and Kajol are cousins.
Karan Johar on Rani & Kajol maintaining distance
"At that time, you didn't have a close friendship or a relationship at all, right? host Karan Johar asked both his guests. "Though you were family, there was no rishta (relationship). You (Kajol) had also kept a silent distance from her. I used to wonder, 'What kind of family is this?'" he said.
Kajol on having 'an organic distance'
Responding to Karan's query, Kajol said, "Nothing really like that. It was just an organic distance. Where work is concerned it's more that both of us liked where we were."
Rani added, "Because I have known her as a kid and she was Kajol didi for me and it was a bit strange. I guess when you grow apart you really don't know the reason why because you don't meet that often because Kajol didi used to stay in town and we were in Juhu. Me and Tanisha were much closer and we are still. But Kajol didi was always closer to the boys of the family. So, it was a bit strange."
What brought them close?
Kjao then went on to reveal how they eventually built a friendship. "More after our dads passed away. It's just an organic thing." To this, Rani added, "As families when you lose your loved ones. I was close to Kajol's dad (Shomu Mukerjee). When you go through tough times and losses, that's when everybody comes closer."
Kajol and Rani Mukerji now share a close bond and are spotted together at the Durga Puja pandals in Mumbai. The two actresses worked in the movie Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, which turned 25 this year.
On the work front, Rani was last seen in Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, while Kajol made her digital debut with the web series The Trial.
