Key takeaways
Overview
In this YouTube Shorts clip, Farida Jalal (Farida ji) shares an anecdote from the sets of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) about Kajol’s “nautanki” (play-acting/drama) during filming.
She explains that, while a scene was being shot, the camera setup and timing were managed carefully—close-ups were taken only because the cameraman (Manam ji) was positioned/working at that moment, based on suggestions. Even so, Kajol reportedly kept the mood chaotic and fun.
The Scene and the “Nautanki”
Farida describes how she had to deliver an emotional dialogue, while Kajol, in parallel, made things playful and distracting with teasing reactions—telling her things like:
- “How sexy you are looking… so beautiful”
- using exaggerated, comedic expressions
Scolding, Chaos, and Comedy
Farida also jokes that she’s caught in the bit: while Kajol teases her, someone else is literally “holding her ears.” The performers, in the process, reportedly get scolded/corrected regularly—often by Adi (as mentioned in the anecdote).
She adds that Aaji used to scold Kajol a lot as well. Despite the scolding, Farida emphasizes that Kajol’s teasing and comedy made people laugh, even if it made others—especially Adi—nervous/scared.
