Karan Johar and Kajol have worked together in films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham
Highlights
- Kajol 'liked' Karan Johar's pic featuring Roohi and Yash
- KJo shared Roohi and Yash's pic on their first Raksha Bandhan
- Roohi and Yash are now six-months-old
This is not a drill, people. Kajol and Karan Johar are buddies again (because if Shah Rukh and Salman could, anyone can), despite KJo dedicating a chapter in his autobiography to how she 'could never come back' into his life. The grand reunion played out on social media - but it turns out, that was just the epilogue. On Monday, folks noticed that Karan Johar was now following Kajol on Instagram. Folks also noticed that the actress was among the
many celebs who 'liked' Karan Johar's post about his twins, Yash and Roohi. Lots of other stars also liked the post - Twinkle Khanna, Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif, Karisma Kapoor and the like - but one name popped, the only one that mattered.
Yash and Roohi, six-months-old, did not broker peace, however.
Filmfare reports that Kajol herself offered the olive branch - she texted KJo an invite to her birthday party over the weekend, and he showed up. As
Filmfare tells it, they hugged and made up, with minimum fuss and drama.
While the reunion may have lacked drama, on Twitter,
Kuch Kuch definitely
Hota Hai. There was joy, and even speculation about a new Kajol-KJo film:
There was also a bit of hate:
There were also some tweets suggesting Kajol is in search of a hit.
And to the haters, this instruction:
Just days ago, Kajol was asked by the media what chance there was
she and Karan Johar would work together again. Her answer was this, as reported by news agencies: "Let me put it this way, I am not answering any questions on that particular point. If any of my other friends want to offer me a film I'll definitely do it."
She was relatively restrained, when you consider everything KJo wrote about her in his book,
An Unsuitable Boy. Here's an example: "I wouldn't like to give her a piece of myself to her at all because she's killed every bit of emotion I had for her for 25 years. I don't think she deserves me. I feel nothing for her anymore."
Kajol and Karan Johar were friends for 25 years before fissures developed, and made films like
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham together. KJo blamed Kajol's husband Ajay Devgn for their fraught relationship and boiling point was reached last year when Ajay publicly accused KJo of paying for favourable reviews of his film
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, which was clashing with Ajay's film
Shivaay.
