Rani Mukerji disclosed on the most recent episode of Koffee With Karan that she wasn't the closest to Kajol in the beginning of her career. Kajol described their gap as organic, having only lately closed.
Presenter Karan Johar expressed his curiosity, asking, "What kind of family is this?" given that they don't talk to each other.. ¡°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, said Kajol.
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.¡±
She also revealed how both of them later on developed a bond.
¡°More after our dads passed away,¡± she said. Kajol added, ¡°It¡¯s just an organic thing.¡± Rani said, ¡°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.¡±
International Business Times claims that because of Kajol, Rani went through some extremely difficult times while filming the movies. Their tense relationship stemmed from a few property issues that had developed between the two families over the years. The problem worsened when Rani Mukerji took over as the face of the Yash Raj label and Kajol, the late Yash Chopra's favorite heroine, was replaced.
After a series of Koffee rounds between the two guests, Kajol declared that she was "staging a walkout" over her inability to reply to many questions from Karan, one of which was about Rani's cameos in one of her films.
Koffee With Karan season 8 streams on Disney+ Hotstar.
