Kriti Sanon talks about her sisterly connection with Kajol
Kriti Sanon will be seen on the big screens with Bollywood’s iconic couple, Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Diwale’ (2015). After her debut Hindi film Heropanti (2014), ‘Dilwale’ will be her second film that is full of experienced actors including Varun Dhawan.�� Surrounded by such popular talent, Sanon had to make a good impression, especially with Kajol as she plays her younger sister in the film.
Talking to��Bollywood Hungama, she said, “I had to really act-act here since in real life, I am the elder one and my sister is four years younger to me. She listens to me more than how much she would listen to my mom. So if she is doing something wrong, she may not listen to mom but would hear me out.” ��She further added, “She has passed college and has turned 22. I do know that a sisterly bond is.”
However, her sisterly bond shone with her on-screen sister Kajol, but proved to be a little difficult because there is a big age gap between them.
She said, “I have to really feel within me that Kajol ma’m is my elder sister. Otherwise, between my sister and I, we can even hit each other. However, the whole bond is different in the film. With Kajol, the sister factor is more like a motherly bond; you know like someone who has taken care of you. This isn’t all as we had to establish that on-screen bond quite quickly since there aren’t many scenes in there where we are there together on a one to one basis.”
Talking about Kajol, She added, “She has been in the industry for more than 20 years. So, of course, I was a lot conscious. The first thing that I had to do was to think as a character. See, sometimes what happens is that when given a dialogue, one tends to get a little excited. There was a scene where I had to be a little rebellious, so I went ahead with that kind of tone. This is where Kajol ma’m said to me that I was acting this way due to the manner in which the lines are written. However, since I was playing a younger sister, I could do better by not being so rebellious in answering back and instead act a little scared with not such kind of disrespect being shown.”
Sanon has done extremely well to have achieved the ability to share a platform with Bollywood’s most loved actress.
‘Dilwale’ hits the screens today.
