Tanishaa Mukerji has shared that the public might like to compare her with Kajol but she does not ‘live in that space.’
Unlike her elder sister, actress Kajol, Tanishaa has had a handful of films in her career spanning more than two decades. She has appeared in movies like Neel 'N' Nikki and Sarkar.
Born to filmmaker Shomu Mukherjee and veteran actress Tanuja, Tanishaa has been compared to Kajol in Bollywood, for how their respective careers have panned out in the film industry. However, she remains unfazed by the comparison.
In a new interview with Indian Express, Tanishaa shared her opinion on how she has witnessed constant comparison with her sister Kajol but it doesn't bother her.
Talking about comparison, the Neel 'N' Nikki actress said, "I can’t look at my sister and me and compare. I don’t even compare myself to other actors, why will I compare myself to my sister? Every actor and star have their own journey, that’s what I believe."
Tanishaa admitted that her career wasn't as good as that of her sister, Kajol, and added, "...but she started when she was 16."
The actress thanked her sister Kajol for her 'comfortable' career and opened up about being blessed with receiving privileges because of her sister Kajol. She acknowledged the Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham actress saying:
"I thank her career for giving me whatever I needed."
Speaking about her journey, Tanishaa further said that she didn't have to work much and had a 'comfortable' career, while adding, "I never compare. I think the world loves to keep comparing, I don’t live in that space.”
She also shared that Kajol took on responsibilities quite early in her life, and she has turned out to be stricter than their mom, Tanuja. Talking about her bond with both of them, Tanishaa said that Tanuja is like her friend and Kajol is strict like a mother.
"She is like all our mothers. She is the strict one, full mummy," the 46-year-old actress added.
