Kajol recently opened up about the personal toll she experienced during a tense period in 2012 when a major dispute unfolded between her husband Ajay Devgn’s film production company and the powerful Yash Raj Films banner. The conflict centered around the simultaneous release of Son of Sardaar and Jab Tak Hai Jaan, leading to a competitive clash that placed Kajol in an uncomfortable position due to her deep personal ties with both Ajay Devgn and filmmaker Aditya Chopra.
In a candid conversation with The Lallantop, Kajol spoke about how emotionally challenging it was to be involved in a situation where two sides she cared for deeply were in disagreement. She revealed that she often felt torn and powerless, especially as the conflict persisted without immediate resolution. According to Kajol, such confrontations are always emotionally taxing, more so when time doesn’t seem to ease the tension right away. Both production houses were firm in defending their respective interests, which only added to the strain.
"As somebody who was connected to both sides, I felt helpless. You have to wait for time to pass so that the feelings subside. So that things can become ok again," she said.
While navigating the situation, Kajol admitted to experiencing a sense of helplessness. She explained that in scenarios like these, where bonds exist on both ends, the best one can often do is wait for the emotional heat to settle. Over time, she believes, tempers cool, allowing room for understanding and reconciliation. She also touched on the broader idea that transformation—whether in life or the industry—is inevitable and constant. To her, change is not something to be classified as either positive or negative but simply a natural and ongoing part of existence.
The origins of the dispute date back to when Ajay Devgn FFilms (ADF), the actor’s production entity, filed an official complaint with the Competition Commission of India (CCI). The grievance alleged that Yash Raj Films had exercised unfair market influence by locking in a disproportionately high number of screens for Jab Tak Hai Jaan, which in turn severely restricted the screen availability for Son of Sardaar. This legal confrontation further intensified the professional rivalry between the two banners during the Diwali 2012 release window.
In recent times, Kajol was featured in Maa, a mythological horror movie directed by Vishal Furia. The film, which premiered on June 27, was a collaborative production between Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande. Looking ahead, Kajol is gearing up for her next release, Sarzameen, an action-thriller also starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Ibrahim Ali Khan. This upcoming project will begin streaming on JioHotstar starting July 25.
