According to Kajol what she finds infinitely absorbing is that both she and Hrithik Roshan existed in the same era, shared the same blockbuster in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham in 2001, yet were never paired opposite each other, not once. And yes, fact check first, Hrithik is actually older than Kajol. Hrithik was born in January 1974, Kajol in August 1974. But perception is a double-edged sword. Kajol set foot to the industry in the early 90s, already iconic by the time Hrithik made his explosive debut with his actor Rakesh Roshan’s directorial
Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai in 2000,opposite newcomer Ameesha Patel. Kajol was always seen as the senior, the established queen, even as he was the new phenomenon. Maybe that’s why no filmmaker ever imagined them as a romantic pair. Different energies, different cinematic journeys, different brackets in their heads. Hrithik in his early years was sculpted, intense, almost mythic.
But imagine a mature love story, two strong personalities, no hero worship, no heroine pedestal. Just equals. Why not. Sometimes the most interesting jodis are the ones cinema never dared to try. Nobody paired them in romantic leads.
