Bollywood celebrities salute Indian soldiers on Kargil Day
Bollywood celebrities paid tributes to Indian soldiers and martyrs on the occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas. Kargil Vijay Diwas marks the success of Operation Vijay. India successfully took command of the high outposts which had been lost to Pakistani intruders on July 26, 1999.
Here’s what the celebrities tweeted:
Kajol not sure of working with Karan Johar
Once upon a time Kajol and Karan were one of the most popular Bollywood buddies and have given hits such as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and My Name Is Khan, but Kajol now refrains from even talking about filmmaker Karan Johar.
The actress also hints that chances of her teaming up with the the filmmaker again are remote.
In his autobiography, Karan had said his nearly 25-year-long friendship with Kajol ended prior to the release of his and her actor-filmmaker husband Ajay Devgn’s films -Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Shivaay. The two films clashed at the box office during Diwali in 2016.
Ajay had said “nasty” things to him before the release of films and so he vowed “no matter what, she's out of my life”, Karan wrote.
In an interview, Kajol said she works with only those people with whom she has a certain kind of comfort level.
“If you’re not comfortable with the people you're working with, if you cannot speak up, or speak to the people you’re working with....I think communication is a key element in working with people. You can’t work alongside them if you don't talk,” she says.
When asked if she is open to work with Karan, Kajol says, “Let me put it this way, I am not answering any questions on that particular point. If any of my other friends want to offer me a film I’ll definitely do it.”
The 42-year-old actress says even now, working with people she is comfortable with plays a big part in choosing roles, and that was one of the reasons she gave her nod to upcoming Tamil film, VIP 2.
