‘U, Me Aur Hum’ may not have got a great opening like Shah Rukh Khan’s Om Shanti Om, but Kajol is happy that she was a part of the project.
When I meet her at her actor-director husband Ajay Devgan’s office in Juhu, Kajol confesses that it was not very tough to play the role. Kajol adds that she was confident that people would be able to identify with the role, when Ajay narrated the role to her. Here is a chat with the actor.
“I had a superb director to back me. I should undoubtedly give the entire credit to my director for the ease with which the character of Piya has unfolded on the screen in ‘U, Me Aur Hum’.
The best thing that I liked about my character in the film was that besides the fact that she was normal and not handicapped in any way, Piya had a wicked sense of humor and at the same time, she was a little vulnerable too.”
Kajol kick started her career with the film ‘Bekhudi’, more than a decade ago, with Kamal Sadanah as her leading man. Kajol is practical enough to confess that her role in ‘U, Me Aur Hum’ is not the best in her career till date.
“Every role that I have done has been the best at that particular point of time in my career. Since my latest release is ‘U, Me Aur Hum’, I feel that it is my best as of now.” Kajol quips.
She admits that she is far too picky as an actor. “I am lucky that I have been approached by various kinds of directors, in spite of the fact that I am very choosy.
The problem is that my expectations as an actor are quite high and I am not getting the kind of roles that I want to do and I am not interested in doing the kinds of roles that I am offered”, she avers.
