Kajol Recalls Ajay Devgn's Clash With YRF Over 'Son Of Sardaar' In 2012, 'Both Parties Were..'

Kajol is among the few actresses who are open to experimenting with their on-screen roles in today's time. Her successful journey in showbiz started back in the early '90s, and it was some of the big hits in her career, like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Fanaa with Yash Raj Films, which made her a part of the top actresses in the industry. But Kajol came across a difficult situation in 2012 when her husband, Ajay Devgn had a public clash with YRF over the release of his film, Son Of Sardaar. Although the actress has been quiet about it in the past decade, she recently opened up about how she felt in the middle of that battle. 

Kajol admits feeling 'helpless' over Ajay Devgn's clash with Yash Raj Films 

Kajol recently sat down for a conversation with The Lallantop wherein she took a trip down memory lane and recalled how the clash between Ajay Devgn and Yash Raj Films took an emotional toll on her. When asked about how she managed to be close to both parties during the conflict, the Maa actress acknowledged that fights aren't easy, especially when left unsolved. However, both parties were standing up for themselves, and she couldn't do anything. In her words:

"Fights are always difficult, especially when they remain unresolved for some time. At that point, when you have a situation like that in front of you, both parties are standing up for themselves. As somebody who was connected to both sides, I felt helpless."

Kajol mentioned that a suitable option in these kinds of situations is to wait and let the time pass. Once the feelings have subsided, things have a better chance of becoming normal again. The actress admitted that change is bound to happen, and it's the only constant. Since it has been more than a decade of controversy, none of the sides talk about it.

Why did Ajay Devgn have a clash with Yash Raj Films? 

The fiasco began when Ajay Devgn's production house filed a complaint with the Competition Commission of India and accused YRF of misusing its dominant position in the market. It alleged that Yash Raj Films had unfairly monopolised the theatre screens in favour of its film, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, which clashed with Son Of Sardaar by releasing on the same day. The actor's team also argued that YRF used its position to get more screens, leaving fewer screens for Son Of Sardaar. The whole controversy became the centre of attention in Bollywood and had put Kajol, who shares a close bond with Aditya Chopra and YRF, in a sensitive position. 

Kajol's work front 

On the work front, Kajol was last seen in the mythological thriller, Maa, co-starring Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, Kherin Sharma and more. She will be next seen in JioHotstar's Sarzameen, co-starring Ibrahim Ali Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The actress also has Maharagni and The Trial Season 2 in the pipeline.
