Kajol questions Karwa Chauth traditions one day after posting DDLJ’s scene
In a recent interview, Kajol shares her thoughts on Karwa Chauth traditions, reflecting on her iconic role in 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge'.
Mandira Bedi recently opened up in an interview about how she landed her first acting role in the blockbuster film ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge,’ starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. Speaking with Curly Tales, Bedi shared that acting wasn’t initially her plan, but it unexpectedly became part of her journey.
Reflecting on her breakthrough, Bedi recalled her path to the show ‘Shanti.’ Originally aiming to follow her older brother into banking, she pursued Media Communication at Sophia College and interned at Prahlad Kakkar’s office. Fate intervened when the show’s director visited, prompting Bedi to audition—a moment that changed her trajectory.
Following her success on ‘Shanti,’ Bedi played Preeti in the 1995 hit ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge.’ Recounting the filming of the iconic song ‘Mehandi Laga Ke Rakhna,’ she remembered Saroj Khan advising her to adjust her dance style, humorously noting her initial struggles with grace. “I can lift weights and run miles, but I lack the finesse,” she admitted.
