Kajol and Rani Mukerji Open Up About Their Friendship Journey During the Making of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai

Kajol and Rani Mukerji, who are cousins and have acted together in the film “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,” recently appeared as guests on Karan Johar’s talk show “Koffee With Karan 8.” During the episode, Johar brought up the fact that the two actresses were not friends while shooting the film.

Johar asked Kajol and Rani about their lack of friendship during that time. Kajol responded by saying, “Not really.” Johar then mentioned that he used to wonder why two cousins wouldn’t talk to each other. He asked if there was any particular reason for the distance between them. Kajol explained that it was an “organic distance” and that both of them were content with their individual careers.

Johar also asked Rani if she felt the distance when she worked with Kajol. Rani admitted that it was strange because she had known Kajol since childhood and always referred to her as “Kajol didi.” She mentioned that they grew apart as they got older, but didn’t really know why. Rani revealed that she was closer to Kajol’s brother and cousin Tanisha, as they lived in the same area, while Kajol lived in a different part of town.

The two actresses eventually reconciled after the loss of their respective fathers. Rani said that they became closer after going through tough times and losses. Kajol described their reunion as an “organic thing.” She also mentioned that they are frequently seen together at the annual Durga Puja festivities hosted by their families in Mumbai.

Overall, the episode shed light on the distant relationship between Kajol and Rani during the making of “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” and how they eventually reconnected.
