Bollywood diva Kajol appeared in an interview with News 18 Showsha where she revealed how the comparisons with her younger sister Tanishaa Mukerji affected their bond.
Kajol's upcoming romantic suspense-thriller 'Do Patti' is based on the relationship between twin sisters. While speaking about sibling rivalry, she discussed her relationship with her sister and said, “I would say that yes, it did happen at some point, definitely. But we sorted it out. It was momentary. It wasn’t something that worked too much against us. Tanishaa is in the movies and is doing films. So, that was there but it’s not there anymore.”
Kajol emphasized that while they faced challenges, their relationship has grown stronger over time.
Tanishaa Mukerji on comparisons with Kajol
Tanishaa, in an earlier interview with The Indian Express, stated that constant comparisons with Kajol do not bother her much at present.
She said, “These things don’t bother me. 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 has their own journey, that’s what I believe. And yes, my career was not as good as my sister's, but she started when she was 16. I got so much privilege because she was in the industry. I thank her career for giving me whatever I needed. At the end of the day, I had a very comfortable career. I didn’t have to work. So from that aspect, I never compare. I think the world loves to keep comparing, I don’t live in that space.”
Kajol plays a cop Vidya Jyothi aka VJ in 'Do Patti' who gets involved in a murder investigation. Kriti Sanon essays the characters of twin sisters Saumya Sood and Shailee Sood who are romantically involved with Dhruv Sood played by Shaeer Sheikh.
Do Patti is scheduled to hit theaters on October 25, 2024.
