New Delhi: Kajol Devgan made a name for herself in the 90s and was one of the most sought after actors in the industry. Recently, speaking at the Netflix India Actors' Roundtable 2023, Kajol accepted that she has been part of films where she had to do such scenes. She also added that such scenes were 'ery very very uncomfortable and very disturbing'. 

During the roundtable, Kajol said, "It has always been my take as an actor that I'll not do scenes that require me to be either molested or in any which way show me in a place where I don't want to be because I think as actors when we do a shot, we're feeling it, we're really feeling it. So yes, we are actors up to a point but the camera I feel is one of those things it's like man-made magic and it tends to capture it if you're not being honest in front of it. At times like this, you need to be honest."

She also added, "That's been my personal this thing on it that, 'No, I don't want to do this. I don't feel comfortable. I don't feel comfortable when I have to act out a scene where I am being physically abused or molested'...I have done it, it's not that I haven't. But it's very very very uncomfortable and very disturbing. And I don't feel I need to do it to prove a point. I can prove my point to be a good actor in 100 different other ways, I don't need this particular experience."

In several of Kajol's projects like 'Baazigar', 'Ishq', 'Dushman' and most recently 'Lust Stories 2', Kajol has had to play characters that face molestation in some manner or the other. 

Kajol was most recently seen in the series 'The Trial-Pyaar, Kaanoon, Dhokha'. She was also part of 'Lust Stories 2'. 

Kajol will next be seen in 'Do Patti' alongside Kriti Sanon.
