missing out on
film's shooting
despite ill health
as not appearing
on the set leads
to a loss, says
Kajol. The actor,
best known for
her commercial
potboilers such as
Dilwale Dulhania
Le Jayenge, Kuch
Kuch Hota Hai,
Kabhi Khushi
Kabhie Gham,
says she never
cancelled a shoot
in her 25-year-long career as she respects
commitment.
In an interview with PTI, Kajol says, "You
are working in an industry where if you fall
sick or cancel a shoot, lakhs of rupees go
out of somebody else's pocket. So that's a
huge responsibility on your head. "In my 25
years, I don't think I have ever cancelled a
day's shoot. With (utmost) honesty I can say
that, I have not missed a flight or cancelled
a shoot till date.
Kajol says health is always an issue in an
actors life as even after having erratic
working hours, irregular food and sleeping
habits, there is a pressure to look good all
the time. The 43-year-old actor remembers
taking a day off from work only when her
daughter Nysa was unwell.
"One day my daughter was not well, she
had 104 degree temperature, that's the only
time I remember telling the producers that I
can't come. But for my own illness, I have
shot even when I had high fever. Kajol,
who is the brand ambassador of Hindustan
Unilever Limited (HUL's) health soap brand
Lifebuoy, recently announced a new
initiative to empower young girls to make a
difference in their communities through a
partnership with the World Association of
Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS).
