Actress Kajol has opened up about being caught in the middle of one of Bollywood’s most high-profile box office clashes: the 2012 standoff between her husband Ajay Devgn’s Son of Sardaar and Yash Raj Films’ Jab Tak Hai Jaan. The actress, who shares strong personal and professional ties with both parties, revealed that the situation left her feeling conflicted and helpless.
Kajol recalls feeling helpless during Ajay Devgn-YRF box office dispute over Son of Sardaar vs Jab Tak Hai Jaan: “Both parties were standing for themselves”
In a recent interview with Lallantop, Kajol reflected on the emotional complexity of the moment. “Fights are always difficult, especially when they remain unresolved for some time. At that point, when you have a situation like that in front of you, both parties were standing for themselves. As somebody who was connected to both sides, I felt helpless,” she said.
“You have to wait for time to pass so that the feelings subside. So that things can become ok again,” she added, suggesting that time has since healed some of the wounds caused by the clash.
Kajol also offered a broader reflection on change and its inevitability, saying, “Change is change, it is neither good nor bad. It is written somewhere that change is eternal. It is the only thing which is constant.”
The controversy dates back to Diwali 2012, when Ajay Devgn’s production house clashed with Yash Raj Films over screen allocation. Devgn’s team had approached the Competition Commission of India (CCI), accusing YRF of monopolistic practices. The complaint alleged that YRF had used its dominant position in the industry to secure a disproportionate number of screens for Jab Tak Hai Jaan, directed by the late Yash Chopra, leaving Son of Sardaar with limited exhibition space.
Kajol, who is currently seen in Vishal Furia’s Maa, which failed to make a mark at the box office, will next be seen in the upcoming film Sarzameen. The project also stars Ibrahim Ali Khan and actor Prithviraj Sukumaran.
