Kajol is supposedly so spontaneous that she might be slurping on a smoothie, chatting up a storm before a shot and then face the camera and shed copious tears without glycerine. And then she'll come back and finish the smoothie and ask you for some hot goss and then fill in the details herself. Yup. That's her. So during our interview, which was primarily about lust, which, she informs us, is different from sex. Sex is just a physical manifestation of lust. Lust, according to her means being high, being passionate about anything. So there is a lot of giggles, a lot of girl talk, candid quips that lights up our conversation. She's happy that after spending two decades in the industry, she's still considered a top star and is getting author-backed roles even now. Excerpts from a heart-to-heart talk with the feisty actress.
What was your reaction when you were approached for Lust Stories 2?
(Laughs) I thought about why I was being taken for this project. But it was an interesting dynamic and an interesting character to play. There are many layers to our characters. I felt that Amit Sharma is a good director, so it would be interesting to play a character like this.
This is the first time you have worked with Kumud Mishra…
I have seen his work on screen but it was only after working with him that I understood that he is a much more fabulous actor. It was really a pleasure and an honour to work with him.
Sex, which was once spoken about in hushed whispers is now a part of dining room conversations?
