Not without my daughter

Why Kajol almost didn't turn up to Karan Johar's shoot in LA for My Name Is Khan

By: Upala KBR

it was our fault! Ajay Devgan and Kajol with Nysa

Kajol is presently stationed in Los Angeles, shooting for My Name Is Khan. But no-one knows of the hungama that took place at the international airport on the night of her departure from Mumbai, to join the crew of Karan Johar's film.

The actress was scheduled to leave the city on January 5 with her beti Nysa, mother Tanuja and sister Tanishaa. But when the four reached immigration, the officials refused to let Nysa through as she didn't have a valid US visa!

I can't!

Kajol refused to board the flight without her daughter. Says a source close to the actress, "Kajol dotes on Nysa and she hasn't spent even a day away from her. She was in tears when she realised about the visa goof-up. She couldn't leave her daughter behind; even Ajay wasn't in Mumbai". Karan panicked when Kajol called him to request him to let her delay her arrival. An adamant Karan told the actress that she had to board the flight, no matter what. He had to shoot scenes with her and SRK on January 7, and there was no way that he could postpone the shoot.

Reaching a solution

The actress pleaded with Karan to give her 24 hours to work out a solution. The director finally relented. The atmosphere on the sets in LA was tense, when they learned about the delay in the actress' plan. The following day, Kajol got in touch with Karan's office, who began working on Nysa's visa, There was a further change in plans. Kajol would go to LA, accompanied by her mom. She requested her sister Tanishaa would stay back with Nysa. So while Kajol reached LA on the 7th, her daughter and sister finally left Mumbai on January 13.

Kajol's husband Ajay confirms, "It was our mistake. We should have checked Nysa's passport to see if she had a proper US visa. Karan had left it to us to update Nysa's visa, we assumed she had a 10-year- visa like Kajol and myself. When Kajol went to the airport they discovered Nysa didn't have it. Kajol was very upset but stayed back for a day to sort out the matter while Tanishaa was with Nysa till she got her visa and joined Kajol five days later."
