It was just an organic distance: Kajol on bond with Rani in 2000s
Rani Mukerji and Kajol were seen indulging in some fun chit-chat banter during the appearance in the recent episode of Koffee With Karan 8. The stars made some fun revelations about their personal and professional lives in the episode. Remarkably, they delved into how they weren’t on talking terms in the 2000s despite being related to each other off-camera.
Sharing more about their bond, Kajol mentioned that an ‘organic distance’ existed between her and her cousin. After Karan Johar brought up the topic about how they weren’t on talking terms earlier, the My Name Is Khan actress said, “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.”
Furthermore, Rani pitched in and said that the probable reason behind them having that distance from each other could be the fact that they rarely met during their childhood days. In addition, Mukerji also mentioned that comparatively, she was closer to Kajol’s sister Tanishaa Mukerji.
“Because I have known her as a kid and she was Kajol didi for me and it was a bit stranger. 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,” said the Hichki star.
