Kajol to hit Television again. .

Actress Kajol, who’s apparently going easy on films following the birth of her second child, may however make a concession for television it is learned. Buzz is that the actor is one of the strong contenders to do the second season of a popular food show that was first hosted by actor Akshay Kumar. The actor had recently confirmed that he would not be doing the second season as it clashed with another television show that he is currently hosting.

Following reports of Akshay not doing the show, rumour mills went abuzz with names that were likely to replace Akki, one of them being filmmaker-actor, Farhan Akhtar. But the latest is that actor Kajol too is being considered for the show. She apparently is in talks with the channel who approached her for the show.

“It is true that Farhan is also being considered for the show, but Kajol has an upper hand here as she’salways had a family image. It’ll be easier for the audience to accept her as a host after Akshay, whose plus point was that he was a chef himself. Farhan on the contrary has a multifaceted image and has already hosted a show earlier, but this show’s format is to do with food. Kajol, being a wife and mother, has a stronger identity that’ll blend with food and kitchen. Besides, she also has a higher mass appeal than Farhan.” says a source.

Should Kajol do the show?, it would be interesting to see her hosting the show at a time when hubby actor Ajay Devgn has agreed to host a show on another channel. But this isn’t the first time that Kajol, will be on the tube as the actor was earlier a judge on a dance show along with hubby Ajay and mom Tanuja.

Ajay's Fidelity

Bollywood is one place where people take it for granted that relationships are most fickle. And if gossip columns are to be believed then some actor is cheating on his or her girlfriend or spouse almost everyday. But actor Ajay Devgn, begs to differ and says that things can be hunky dory between a couple if they work towards making it that way. Ajay, who is married to actor Kajol for about a decade now, believes that once a person makes a commitment to another, they should honour it for a lifetime.

The actor recently went on a reality show and when he was quizzed if it was natural for a man to cheat on his spouse if a ‘hot’ girl approached him and caught him unawares, Ajay denied the entire theory.

A source who was present on the sets of the reality show that puts one partner’s loyalty to test, says that Ajay endorsed the idea of commitment to the core. “He was taken aback when he saw youngsters treat cheating as just another fad and said that if a person truly honoured his relationship, he should consider his love unbreakable. It was nice to hear a much married man, from the film industry give some sane advice for a change,” says the source.

“You are either in a committed relationship or you’re not. You can’t be committed to someone and also consider options outside the relationship. The whole idea of getting ‘carried away’ by someone else’s charm, while in a relationship, is absolutely ridiculous!” said Ajay while passionately talking about the importance of fidelity in a relationship in today’s day and age.

“Ajay looks like he has very modern views and he probably does. But when it comes to basic issues, he is a traditional man and he proved it by reprimanding a girl who was cheating on her boyfriend. Let’s hope she takes his advice seriously.”

Kajol-SRK to recreate magic

Kajol was recently spotted at the YRF studios and sources claim that it wasn’t just an impromptu visit. Speculations are rife that Kajol is in talks with the YRF people for a film that also stars Shahrukh Khan.

As per reports, Yash Chopra’s comeback directorial venture after Veer Zara will have Shahrukh and Katrina Kaif in main lead. But there is also a scope for another actress in the film and for which Yash Raj would be happy to get associated with Kajol, yet again.

The insiders are also not ruling out the possibility of the film being a love triangle. Though Katrina Kaif is the star of the film, Kajol too might have a good role in it. “Chopra is very keen to have Kajol opposite Shah Rukh. He is quite fond of both of them and loves their onscreen pairing. He feels that they can create the same magic,” the source is quoted as saying by a tabloid.

Perhaps Kajol might do a cameo, like she did in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. Generally, celebs are approached for the cameos once the movie is fully shot or is in post production to add a star value to it. But does a film with Shahrukh Khan and Katrina in lead needs star value! We doubt it.

So wait for the announcement from YRF while we pray to see Kajol and Shahrukh together on silver screen.
