Kajol is setting the record straight on sequels to her classic films. As she gears up for the release of her upcoming horror film Maa, the actress shared her candid and hilarious take on the idea of a Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge or Kuch Kuch Hota Hai sequel—revealing why some love stories are better left untouched.In a chat with Pinkvilla, Kajol was asked about the possibility of a sequel to the iconic 1995 film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, in which she starred opposite Shah Rukh Khan. While she admitted she’d love the idea in theory, Kajol humorously confessed that she simply can’t imagine a DDLJ 2 happening.The actress explained her stance with a touch of humor, saying that every film carries its own magic, and DDLJ was no different. She joked that no one really wants to know what happened after the iconic train scene—whether the couple ended up arguing over mundane things like diapers. For her, the magic lies in leaving that fairytale ending untouched.She also added that the beauty of DDLJ lies in its ending, calling it “brilliant” that the story wraps up as the train leaves. She believes it’s best left to the audience’s imagination—preserving the magic of “happily ever after” without delving into what happens next.When asked about the possibility of a Kuch Kuch Hota Hai sequel, Kajol, who starred alongside Shah Rukh Khan in the film, reflected on how it belonged to a different era—one where audiences believed deeply in eternal love. She shared that recreating such a story in today’s world would be challenging.Kajol explained that Kuch Kuch Hota Hai worked so well because it was set in a different time, with characters and a world where people truly believed in once-in-a-lifetime, eternal love. She noted that in today’s world, with changing belief systems, it would be difficult to recreate a story with the same emotional depth and conviction.Kajol is all set for the release of Maa, a mythological horror film directed by Vishal Furia, hitting theatres on June 27, 2025. Co-starring Ronit Roy and Indraneil Sengupta, the film serves as a spin-off to Ajay Devgn’s 2024 supernatural thriller Shaitaan.
