"My
family
went
for
the
trial
and
I
recall
Tanisha
calling
me
and
telling
me
that
she
has
come
back
home," Kajol
informs
me.
I
enquiringly
ask,
"Was
it
that
bad?"
That's
when
the
Kajol
said,
"No,
it
wasn't
that.
She
said
that
she
couldn't
watch
me
cry
in
the
film
as
we've
cried
together
many
times."
Those
were
the
first
reactions
she
received
after
We
Are
Family
released.
She
laughs
out
on
a
comment
by
Tanisha,
which,
many
of
them
would've
taken
it
as
an
emotional
one.
But
that's
our
Kajol,
ever
smiling;
ever
so
humorous,
ever
so
spirited
even
when
you
know
that
she
is
taking
deep
breaths
while
talking
to
me
over
the
phone.
She
still
doesn't
hesitate
to
do
this
interview
knowing
the
fact
that
she
would
rather
prefer
more
time
with
her
better
half
(at
the
point
in
her
life
that
she
is
expecting
her
second
child
anytime
now).
Add
another
synonym
to
her:
dedicated
and
tough.
When
you
come
out
of
the
theatres
watching
the
film,
you
appreciate
that
her
physical
transformation
is
astonishing
-
it's
a
wonderful
impersonation
of
her
own
self
we
saw
years
ago,
nothing
has
changed
-
but
what
makes
it
all
the
more
impressive
is
that
she
seems
to
add
a
new
dimension
to
what
we
know
about
Kajol.
She
suggests
so
much
while
saying
so
little
-
anger,
desperation,
mercy,
loneliness,
humour
-
all
through
the
tiniest
movements
of
a
tight-lipped
mouth.
This
special
correspondent
talks
to
Kajol
who
probably,
hopefully
and
definitely
will
remain
as
India's
most
loved
actress
after
Madhubala.
"Seamless
is
too
big
a
word
to
describe
me"
I
wouldn't
call
my
performance
in
We
Are
Family
as
seamless.
Yes,
I
love
the
adulation
which
is
pouring
in
from
all
corners
but
to
say
that
I
am
flawless
is
in
itself
a
flaw
(laughs).
I
know
the
kind
of
hard
work
that
went
into
it
and
it's
good
to
know
that
the
hard
work
has
shown
on
the
screen.
That's
the
whole
point
of
being
a
good
actor.
"Siddharth
brought
more
willingness
backed
with
patience"
The
best
part
of
doing
We
Are
Family
was
that
we
treated
it
as
a
completely
different
film
from
Stepmom
even
though
it
was
an
adaptation.
There
were
a
lot
of
dynamics
in
the
film
which
were
different.
There
was
so
much
more
to
it.
What
we
all
brought
together
was
that
we
all
worked
well
together
which
does
not
happen
very
often
in
our
industry.
Siddharth
Malhotra
brought
to
the
film
a
very
open
mind
and
a
willingness
to
look
at
it
from
every
point
of
view
because
I
know
that
I
had
a
lot
of
questions
and
discussions
with
him
on
and
off
the
sets.
Yes,
Sid
has
a
lot
of
patience
and
that
worked
for
the
film.
"I'm
more
of
a
bookworm
than
a
movie
buff"
I'm
not
a
big
movie
buff
basically.
I
don't
watch
a
lot
of
movies.
I've
never
have
and
I
don't
think
I
ever
will.
I
am
a
kind
of
person
who
is
more
into
reading
books.
I
will
spend
half
a
day
in
a
library
or
a
book
store
more
than
spending
time
in
a
theatre.
I
haven't
till
date
had
any
emotional
experience
watching
a
film.
I've
enjoyed
some
films
from
childhood
till
now
which
I've
really
liked.
"Acting
in
an
adaptation
from
a
book
isn't
happening"
Even
if
I
am
a
bookworm,
I
can't
think
of
acting
in
an
adaptation
from
a
book.
I
don't
approach
films
like
that.
I've
always
learnt
to
look
at
scripts
in
its
entirety
and
look
at
it
objectively.
Don't
compare
it
with
its
predecessor.
"I'm
not
a
person
who
gets
Friday
shivers"
Everybody
likes
to
know
that
their
movie
is
doing
well.
It's
a
great
feeling
to
know
that
We
Are
Family
is
slowly
but
surely
getting
accepted
by
a
lot
of
people.
I
am
not
a
person
who
gets
Friday
shivers.
"The
time
right
now
is
to
spend
with
Ajay.
It's
We
Are
Family
time"
Nysa
hasn't
seen
We
Are
Family.
I
don't
think
she
could
take
a
movie
like
that.
It's
not
meant
for
her
at
this
point
in
time.
Even
my
better
half
(laughs)
hasn't
seen
the
film
yet.
But
he
will
for
sure,
someday
(laughs).
I
think
the
time
right
now
isn't
for
movies;
the
time
right
now
is
to
spend
in
the
company
of
each
other
to
bring
in
more
joy
and
happiness
ready
to
be
delivered
anytime
now.
"Kareena
has
matured
more
as
a
person
than
as
an
actress"
Kareena
has
definitely
grown
up
and
she
is
much
thinner
than
what
she
was
earlier
(laughs).
But
I
think
it's
the
experience
that
counts
really
at
the
end
of
the
day.
She
was
pretty
normal
on
the
sets.
Kareena
handled
the
scenes
with
lots
of
maturity
in
We
Are
Family,
more
importantly,
when
I
conversed
with
her
off
the
sets,
I
found
out
that
she
has
matured
more
as
a
person
too.
"Having
the
best
child
actors
makes
a
mother-child
relationship
more
special
on
screen"
I
have
to
give
Siddharth
credit
for
finding
the
best
child
actors
of
our
industry.
Honestly,
I
really
can't
imagine
my
daughter
sitting
down
and
acting
out
all
the
scenes
that
the
three
children
have
done
in
the
movie.
All
children
were
absolutely
brilliant.
Sid
used
to
sit
down
with
the
kids
in
the
morning
for
hours
and
rehearse
the
scenes.
That's
what
makes
the
mother-child
relationship
special.
