Kajol remembers Fanaa

It is fourteen years since the cult film Fanaa released starring Kajol and Aamir Khan.

When Aditya Chopra was producing Fanaa with Konal Kohli as the director and asked Aamir Khan for three choices to play the role of Zooni in Fanaa, Aamir replied, “Kajol, Kajol and Kajol.” Kajol actually made a comeback to cinema with the film in which she played a blind girl – it was her return to celluloid five years after she was seen in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.

Kajol also took to her social media to post a picture from behind the scenes of the film where she is engaged in a conversation with Aamir Khan.

“#14YearsOfFanaa. Bts (Behind The Scenes) this was pre-shoot. And as usual the film was quite different from what we read on paper. Still remember Poland and how much fun we had there,” she posted.
