Kajol Breaks Silence On Dropping NO-Kissing Policy After 30 Years In The Trial; Admits, “I Was Uncomfortable”

Kajol has finally addressed her long-standing no-kissing policy on screen. She revealed that her decision to share a kiss with Jisshu Sengupta in The Trial was deeply connected to her character’s journey. Kajol explained that the choice was driven by the demands of the script and her role. The actress made her OTT debut with The Trial – Pyaar, Kaanoon, Dhokha in 2023.

Kajol Breaks Silence On Dropping NO-Kissing Policy

During her conversation with Lilly Singh on her podcast, Kajol clarified that the moment was not inserted casually but was an essential part of the character’s emotional arc. “Honestly, it was the season that I was playing. It had so much to do with the character and who she was. It wasn’t simply a kiss; it was about what she thought and what she wanted to happen and what didn’t happen for her,” she said.

She added, “It was something that was an integral part of the entire screenplay, so I couldn’t have cut that out without cutting an integral part of the entire character.”

Kajol also admitted she was uncomfortable with the idea until she actually performed it. “I think I was uncomfortable with it. I was very, very uncomfortable with the idea till I was standing on set. I liked it in theory and wasn’t sure whether I was actually going to do it. I really think it was simply that, it was simply a professional call where I felt that I can make this call today,” she shared.

About Kajol’s Career, Projects

After hits like DDLJ, K3G, and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kajol stepped into the OTT world with The Trial. In the series, she portrays Noyonika Sengupta, a housewife who returns to her legal career after her husband’s scandal.
