I think they are still friends but not as close anymore as they used to. And in terms of co-stars, he was always closest to Juhi. I think KJo was a major link between SRK and Kajol and SRK's terms with KJo are now very different as well and they're not as close either. Also the Yash Raj Films feud with Ajay Devgn when Jab Tak Hai Jaan went against Ajay's movie may also have affected his relationship with Kajol. She was missing from the latest KKHH anniversary celebration even though SRK, Rani, and KJo were there.
Mani Ratnam wanted Kajol for Dil Se and actually she was a big fan of his and it was a dream of hers to work with him. She wanted to do Dil Se but her dates were booked for another film which is why she had to say no.
Bhansali also really wanted to work with Kajol for Devdas. I don't know why she refused but my guess is that it's because she was newly married and wanted to settle down and start a family. She did do K3G but that was her last movie until Fanaa so it seemed she didn't want to do anything else after K3G, including Devdas. Maybe had it started earlier, she would have said yes. She said no to Gadar as well (both her and Aish were the original choices for Gadar).
I'm assuming she turned down Veer-Zaara for similar reasons that it came out during her retirement period. KANK she said no to because she chose Fanaa instead for her comeback project. Aamir Khan made a big deal out of this because he and SRK were not on good terms during that time so Aamir wanted everyone to know that Kajol snubbed SRK and KJo for his movie.
I agree, I'm glad that even though SRK no longer considers Kajol for roles for whatever reason, that he still goes to Aish even if she's had to say no to them all so far. Happy New Year was a special case because she was going to do the movie but when Abhishek got cast in a supporting role, she turned the film down. She said that audiences would not accept her in a movie with Abhishek if they were not romantically paired together and this would cause the film to be a failure so for the good of the film, she needed to leave it.
I'm also glad Kajol turned all those films down. I think Dil Se is the only one she would have been a good fit for. I can see her doing that movie but I can't see her in Devdas or Veer-Zaara. Especially not Devdas.
