1) Recalling Memories From KKHH Days
Karan Johar, Rani and Kajol together… Of course, the conversation had to start with recalling their Kuch Kuch Hota Hai memories. Recalling the days, Rani jokingly said how KJo would snatch away her food so that she could fit into her costumes.
Karan also shared the incident from ‘Koi Mil Gaya’ song shoot when the ‘newcomer’ Rani turned the choreographer for SRK and Kajol. He stated –
“Those were the days that none of us rehearsed right for the song and dance moves? There was no such thing as rehearsal hall, there was one and I think Rani was the only one, she was new and young, she went and rehearsed all the steps. Now we are taking this top wide shot with Farah Khan in command, in control and it was the signature step of Koi Mil Gaya. Suddenly, cut happened and Kajol looked at Rani that time and said “What are you doing?, something wrong you are doing” Shah Rukh Khan also said, “Kuch galat ho raha hai”.
“Loudly, barring from afar, Farah said, “She is the only one who is doing it right, you all are doing rubbish”. Then, immediately both SRK and Kajol went to Rani who had become the choreographer teaching them the step. It was hilarious,” he added.

2) Distance Between Kajol & Rani Mukerji Back In The Day
Karan Johar also addressed the distant relationship between Rani Mukerji and Kajol back in the late ’90s and early ’20s despite being cousins. When KJo asked the reason, Rani replied, “Yeah it was a bit strange. But I guess when you grow up and grow apart, you don’t really know the reason why.”
To which, Kajol said, “It was an organic distance and where work is concerned, I think it’s more that both of us liked where we were.”
Rani further added, “I have known her as a kid and she is always Kajol didi for me. And it was a bit strange and I guess when you grow up and grow apart, you don’t really know the reason why. Because we didn’t meet that often because Kajol didi used to stay in town and we were in Juhu, so me and Tanisha were much closer, we are still but Kajol didi was always closer to the boys of the family, like my brother and all of them.”
3) Kajol Rejected 3 Idiots, Dil Toh Pagal Hai
During the rapid fire round, Kajol was asked about the films that she had rejected but emerged as blockbuster films. She answered there were quite a few films like Rajkumar Hirani’s 3 Idiots, Shah Rukh Khan‘s Dil Toh Pagal Hai and Akshay Kumar’s Mohra.

4) Rani Opens Up On Keeping Adira Away From The Media Limelight
In the 6th episode, the Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway actress opened up on keeping her daughter, Adira away from the limelight. She also revealed the real reason behind her and her husband-filmmaker Aditya Chopra not to have the paparazzi clicking their daughter’s pictures.
“I simply tell them (paps) not to click the baby’s picture. They look into my eyes, and they get scared. Right from the time Adira was born, I have to thank all the paparazzi and all the media people; they really love me because they kind of respected that. They know how Adi (Aditya Chopra) is. It was our decision together that we didn’t want Adira to be photographed because we have a different idea of how we want to raise Adira, so that she doesn’t feel privileged or she doesn’t feel very special at school, and she feels like any other kid. And she doesn’t get any extra attention. That was something Adi and I wanted for her. That would only happen if she would not be photographed.”

5) Rani & Kajol On Age Discrimination Between Older Actors & Actresses
During the conversation, Karan discussed about how elder actors being paired opposite younger actresses in movies. To this, Rani said, “It’s the truth of cinema and not particularly the cinema of the world but Indian Cinema.”
Kajol added, “It’s the truth of society actually. You have older men having younger wives and nobody raises an eyebrow. You’ve had 30-year-old men getting married to 13 year old girls for like 100’s of years.”
Rani further added, “I think it’s what we want to accept and what we don’t want to accept. So I think it comes from a collective thought process that has been told to us from childhood and that is what we are following because we are not using our brains.”
