‘Right now, there is no one better than me’ – Kajol

KajolWidely considered to be one of the finest actresses of her time, Bollywood actress Kajol feels that none of the current generation actresses comes close to her when it comes to on-screen histrionics. 

In conversation with her ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ director Karan Johar at the FICCI Frames, Kajol said “There is no one. I don’t think there is any one better than me. Not right now. I think acting is something where you learn, re-learn things, hone and refine your skills. I think the girls need time”

Ask her if any on-screen pair comes close to the chemistry she shared with Shahrukh Khan, the actress said “I haven’t seen anyone like that who could build or match up to ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, ‘Dilwale’ (DDLJ)”

What do you think? How does Kajol compare to actresses like Vidya Balan, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra? Any on-screen couple that you think is comparable to the iconic SRK-Kajol jodi?

  • Vidya is a better actress than Kajol.. but not a typical Bollywood heroine. Other than Vidya, I don’t see anyone coming close to Kajol.

    On screen pair, well, SRK-Kajol is epic. But Hrithik and Aishwarya shared good chemistry in all their films – Dhoom 2, Jodha Akbar, Guzaarish. Apart from that, who are the other popular jodis? Cant remember

  • She excelled on screen and I guess if we compare todays female actors to Kajol then yeah noone comes close as of now but one can argue Vidya would come a close second provided she can get some big movies under her belt to give her that much needed exposure. Kajol had that universal exposure as she starred with all the Khans during her time so Vidya needs to replace Kareena and Katrina as the Khan favourite and needs them to give her that nationwide exposure.

  • Kajol Is Amazing Actress !!!!

    SRK Kajol Pair Is extremely Awesome !!!
    But Right Now I Think Ranbir – Katrina is magnetic Pair !!!

  • Kajol-Highly overrated actress and smells of self-appreciating.

    Vidya Balan is much ahead of her, she has big success solely on her own shoulders, ishqia, No one killed Jessica, The Dirty Picture and Kahani and give a tough time to her male counterparts in Parineeta, Bhool Bhulaiiyaa and Paa. She has picked up as many as 3 Filmfare best actress, 1 Filmfare critics awardfor best actress, Filmfare best debut female totalling five filmfare awards in addition to National Award for Best actress.

    Kajol till date could not deliver a single box-office success on her shoulders i.e. any heroine oriented movie. Only one heroine oriented movie which she did I remember was Dushman- was an utter flop. She was only an ugly looking unconvicingly glamorous herone.

  • Vidya may b better than her as a actress but yes she doesn’t want 2 b a glam doll so she doesn’t wrk wid khans.

  • It is not necessary for a heroine to make an onscreen jodi with a hero to prove her capability. There are a number of good actresses who is at par with Kajol viz. Vidya, Priyanka, Deepika & Kareena.

  • to me rani is closed i know vidya is good but u cannot compare her with rani she just got lucky with good script.

  • Starring with all the Khans is not a good thing might be detrimental to your career, Kajol, Rani, Kareena, Pretty, have not done well since starring with these 3. Kajol has not experimented much with her characters compared to Priyanka , and Vidya, how can she claim the crown of best actress?

  • She was the sugar candy of Karan Johar, and just like srk got all the PR to write great things about her.

    Ekta Kapoor once said that Kajol is only hype.

    She was always with srk during his popular phase and repeaed the benefits.

    Also she got all the fake awards just like srk. The ddlj award she got, it was better deserved by Urmila for Rangeela, just like Aamir deserved than srk, but ddlj movie was more popular and hence she and srk got, and the trend continued.

    Then she got in K3G, for what? Tabu was outstanding in Chandni Bar, and yet she was not nominated.

    The fake award list continues with award for Fanaa, for what?

    Then for MNIK, for overacting with srk, while the best deserved was Vidya for Ishqiya.

    Comparatively Vidya is head and shoulders above her in acting, whether it is Ishqiya, Paa, Dirty or Kahaani…..she is in fact living each character.

    I would say Kareena did far better than Kajol – first film Refujee, she stole the show from a bigger debutant Abhishek Bachchan, then Dev, then she totally outshined srk in Asoka, the brilliant Chameli, then Omkara, the evergreen Geet character from Jab We Met, the limited but superb role in 3 idiots, and above all she outdid Kajol in We are Family.

  • Ek male bewakuf kam tha (srk) jo ab ek female bewakuf (kajol) agayi, jo khud ki tarif karte hain. Always aamir khan and kareena kapoor is the best actor and best actress respectively. Mr and miss perfectionist.

  • Apart from SRK-Kajol duo, these pairs have sizzling chemistry on-screen:

    Akshay – Katrina/Kareena/Priyanka
    Hrithik – Aishwarya/Priyanka
    Saif/Ranbir – Deepika
    Aamir – Asin/Kareena
    SRK – Anushka/Priety

  • kajol is d ultimate actress nd a sheer natural one in d league of shabana azmi,smita patil,jaya bacchan .vidya is an immensly talented one bt cnt b better dan kajol .kajol is a fantastic actress with her speaking eyes .its unfair to compare her to dis less deserving actresses.lov u my kaju i kno u cnt dissapoint me u r d best
