Kajol talks about her unconventional choices across 34 years in cinema

Later, she stepped away from movies during the peak of her career. Talking about the same, Kajol said, "I feel I was very stubborn and foolish, and I was proved right, fortunately. But I see so many women doing this all the time without being given any awards for it. I have made my own decisions, and I stand by them. I am grateful that all my eccentricities have been loved."

Kajol reveals if she has signed any project

In the same conversation, Kajol talked about her next projects. She revealed that she has not signed anything yet. The actress said, "I'm listening to a lot of scripts. I have two or three things that I’m working on. But I have nothing concrete to tell you."

The actress also opened up about choosing a project wisely. Apart from the story, the actress also gives importance to seeing who she is working with while signing a film. She said, "It's important to me that I work with people whom I can relate to and talk to. You spend 50 days with people (on the set), and if you don’t like them, those 50 days can feel like 500!"
