Kajol, Bebo are family: KJo

It would be impossible for Karan Johar to choose between the two Ks — Kajol and Kareena Kapoor. He has known Kajol for 26 years now, and like he says, "We've grown up together."

As for Kareena, he has known her for around 15 years but theirs is a relationship beyond time. "My father (Yash Johar) was very fond of both Kajol and Kareena. After I made Kabhie Alvida Na Kehna, he had immediately asked me to make another film with Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. He loved Kajol as an actress. As for Kareena, he had a permanent smile on his face when she was shooting Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham with us because she invariably said the funniest things." Of course, it doesn't end there. As Karan puts it, even his mother (Hiroo Johar) has a one-on-one relationship with the girls — Kajol, Kareena and Rani Mukerji. "Unfortunately, I don't have any siblings. Bebo and Kajol are the girls I grew up with. And I invariably think that if I had siblings they should ideally be a perfect amalgamation of Kajol and Kareena in personality and looks."


Karan laughs and adds, "Bebo with all her madness is a person with the warmest heart; and Kajol for all her moodiness is the most solid person that I know." Of course, while he admits that WAF wouldn't have happened but for these two women of substance, he also is all praise for his hero Arjun Rampal, who he has observed over the years. "His is the talked about evolution from a model to a star-actor," says Karan. He also feels that Arjun who has been growing from performance to performance has now come into his own as an actor. "And we're all proud of him. He is the only National Award-winner on board though we have two of the most talented actresses in there."

Karan is grateful to Arjun for saying yes to the film without much ado and he feels that though Arjun started out winning notices for his good looks, off late, he has been getting accolades for all his performances from Rock On to Raajneeti."Arjun is a warm guy, a personal friend and of course, like I said, a guy whose evolution as a star-actor is something that makes me happy and proud."
