Kajol's hilarious anecdote and insights on lust and 'sharmana' in Bollywood

Actress Kajol recently opened up about her on-screen challenges, particularly when it comes to expressing lustful emotions. Surprisingly, she will be seen in director Amit R. Sharma's segment of the Netflix India anthology "Lust Stories 2." Reflecting on a past experience, Kajol shared a funny anecdote from the shooting of "Hothon Pe Bas Tera Naam Hai" from the 1994 romantic film "Yeh Dillagi," where she and co-star Saif Ali Khan couldn't stop laughing during a scene, leading choreographer Saroj Khan to scold them. While Kajol admits that she struggles with portraying sensuality, she finds it easier to convey certain physical aspects as directed. She humorously describes her lack of understanding when asked to blush or lower her eyes, but she relies on others, such as editors and close-up shots, to enhance the desired effect.

In an interview Kajol expressed her thoughts on lust, defining it as a deeply intense craving for something, which can extend beyond mere physical desire. She believes that lust is a highly individualized emotion, subjective and unique to each person. Everyone's perception and response to lust differ greatly. Kajol's perspective highlights the complexity and personal nature of this powerful emotion.

The upcoming four-part anthology, "Lust Stories 2," serves as a sequel to the 2018 Netflix India original "Lust Stories." Produced by Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP Films and Ashi Dua's Flying Unicorn Entertainment, the anthology features an ensemble cast including Kumud Mishra, Tamannaah Bhatia, Vijay Varma, Tillotama Shome, Amruta Subhash, Neena Gupta, Angad Bedi, and Mrunal Thakur. Joining Kajol in the project are renowned directors Konkona Sensharma, R Balki, and Sujoy Ghosh.

 Viewers can mark their calendars for June 29, when "Lust Stories 2" will premiere exclusively on Netflix India, offering an intriguing cinematic experience that delves into the depths of desire and longing.
