Sonam: Rani has variety to show unlike Kajol!



Even though the only two films that Sonam has acted in, SAAWARIYA and DELHI 6, proved to be no great shakes at the box-office, Anil's darling daughter has no qualms about accepting that it's the critical appreciation of her roles that matter most. And that, she has received in abundance from all and sundry!

As if justifying her belief that being an actress matters more than a star, Sonam in an interview to a leading film journal was very forthright in coming out in defense of her SAWAARIYA co-star, Rani Mukerjee. When asked to pick her favourite actress, Sonam (very undiplomatically) took Rani's name. Her plea was that Rani has done far more varied roles than her more popular and successful cousin, Kajol. Sonam says that in her long career, Rani has done roles which are in stark contrast to each other. Like in KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI, she was sexy, whereas in YUVA and SAATHIYA she was plain and simple. Then she has a BLACK to her credit, a role that is unparalleled even today. Sonam goes on to add that despite the fact that people are writing off Rani, she requires just one hit to get right back to the top.

Right said Sonam, there are few in the industry as forthright as you (just like your ageless father) and here's looking forward to seeing you once again with your favourite actress Rani!

I totally disagree with her, Kajol has far away much variety to show than Rani..........

Kajol did a lots of roles which are different, comedy in (Kuch Khati Kuch Meethi), negative in (Gupt), romantic in many of her films......
And not to forget her role in (Dushman).....
There is no way of comparing........

I think that Sonam is way too new in the film industry to be comparing legends like Kajol and Rani.

Everyone has their own opinions.
So, it isn't such a big deal on who has played a variety of roles.

Sonam has no experiances yet in industry, thought this kind of things can be too without being experianced, Kajol far away much experianced and did a lots of variety roles, no way of compaing between Kajol and Rani, both are in their places in way of acting, but I find Kajol much better actress..........

Thought I never saw any of Sonam's films, but I read that both her films went to be flops, I think she is the one who has to be careful on taking variety roles, this is my opinion..........

Why is Sonam comparing rani with Kajol? 😕 The reporter didn't asked sonam about the comparison then why?? Kajol has done many roles, maybe Sonam haven't see kajol movies?? The roles Kajol did in DDLJ, KKHH, Gupt, Dushman, Fanaa(movie became hit ONLY because of Kajol). Kuch khati kuch meethi were aveage movie but due to Kajol it became hit(the movie released after kuch kuch hota hai. Kiya aap mere dil mein rehte hain was okay movie as well.

However Sonam is more close to Rani, she was AD of movie Black and both work in Saawariya and Rani supported sonam very much. Sonam should now be careful 😆 And i still do love sonam 😳

I can understand Sonam's bias towards Rani, but I think Kajol is more versatile than Rani though I love both actresses.

It is very nice of Sonam to support Rani since she is so close to her (and I agree about people writing her off!) but to say Kajol has not done a variety of roles is not correct. I love both Kajol and Rani and I think they are both fabulous in their own way! Why did she have to compare? Sona Sona...😆

ha..ha..ha
Thats like opening a bee hive....
Kajol and Rani....
Well for me Kajol got the success on her own terms. He left it on her own terms and she is still working on her own terms. Thats makes her a very strong person.
Kajol has done a variety of roles. She got the first ever negative award for villian, then seh worked as a tom boy boy in KKHH, she worked as a punjabi housewife in KKKG and then Fanaah...plus many others.
Rani did become stale after few of her movies. Even if she did variety it did not shine out and looked same over and over again.
I am for Kajol...

I don't really agree with Sonam...but whatever, everyone has different opinions.
I think both Kajol and Rani have done a variety of different roles in their career.
Btw, the article says "Her plea was that Rani has done far more varied roles than her more popular and successful cousin, Kajol".
...Since when are Kajol and Sonam cousins?? Am I getting something wrong here?
