I'm not a movie person: Kajol

October 12, 2016 I.A.N.S 460 reads

She has been a part of showbiz for over three decades, and delivered hits like "Karan Arjun", "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge", and "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...". But actress Kajol says she doesnt like to watch movies as much as she enjoys reading.

"I don't watch movies. I really don't. I'm not a movie person! But my guilty pleasure are my books actually. I read a lot of books. I love vampires, werewolves, everything with fangs and abnormalities on them," Kajol said in a statement.

The actress spoke about her preferences during an episode of "Vogue BFFs". She became a part of the show with her mentor and close friend Mickey Contractor.

Kajol, who was last seen on the silver screen in "Dilwale" with superstar Shah Rukh Khan, also added that she is currently reading the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child.

The mother of two said: "I'm a big believer in reading. I believe that children should read. I believe that regardless of gender, they should read because I believe in armchair travelling, I believe that it expands the mind. I believe that it makes you a better person, much more well informed.

"I think reading is a habit that everybody should cultivate."

The episode will air on Colors Infinity on Saturday.

IDK, I think people that read books love watching movies too - good ones. Not just movies - they just have this attitude of observing people, nature - basically have this curiosity or way of observing things around them.. or so has been my observation.


But yeah, she has always said she's a bookworm. Maybe she doesn't watch many

I remember how much flak Saif got for years for saying something similar 😆 Anyways, it seems like people such as herself or Sonakshi never came into the movie-making business out of love for the movies...it was just a convenient, time pass type career choice.

Dunno why she said that line about gender...reading has nothing to do with gender 😕 But overall, a good message.

Even I find it very odd when BW stars say they don't like movies !!
Would a Doctor say she doesn't like hospital or teacher say she hates kids ?
I prefer Ranbir and Ranveer who are passionate about movies !!

@kabeera - Boys hate reading. She may be thinking about her son when she spoke about gender .
Her passion for books and reading is good.

Why can't one like both? 😕
Why do Actors who have made their living out of acting in films put down Watching Movies like this?
Reading book is indeed expanding your horizon but movies also do the same.
Movies do tend to broaden one's imagination,cultural perspective ,lifestyle and dreams in much more simpler way IMO.
One need not put down watching movies to glorify reading.

She needs to read more Dale Carnegie and less Vampires,Werewolf stuff 😆😆 .She seems to need it.

I don't get my people take offense if actors or actresses do not like to watch movies.. Pura din us mein kaam karne k baad if they would rather prefer to do something which would take their mind off work tou problem kia hai?
