On a comeback trail, actor Kajol is hedging her box office success with television commercials. First off the mark was an advertisement for Whirlpool with husband Ajay Devgan. And now she's endorsing the century's best marketing line "diamonds are forever" becoming Diamond Trading Company, the marketing arm of DeBeers, Brand Ambassor for - Asmi. She'll remain the face of the diamond jewelry firm for two years. With her first comeback film set to roll by August, we caught up with Kajol to talk about the return of fiery Bengali beauty. Diamonds are certainly Kajol's best friends. And the vivacious actor is now expressing this fascination at least a year before her first comeback film hits the marquee.
As she reappears in various commercials in a fresher, more glamorous avatar, it is evident she has changed her opinion that endorsements are boring. "I wasn't averse to endorsements. It's just that I like to do things when the time is right according to me. When I was full-fledged into films, I didn't have time to do endorsements. And now I have a little time on my hands, and I have realised that ads don't take a lot of time, and that's why I am more open to them now. And thoroughly enjoying it as well." Since she is saying that diamonds are her best friends we tried to find out, what sort of jewellery is she fond of? "I love solitaires. I like designed jewellery and wouldn't mind wearing elaborate sets.
But I bought my solitaires with not my first pay check but when I had a little more money, and you'll always find me wearing them. We are inseparable," says Kajol with a sparkle in her eyes. Any more endorsements that we'll be seeing her in? "Haven't you had enough in Whirlpool and now Asmi?," she retorts. "These are the two that I am doing right now. Have got a few offers, but I am still thinking. And with my film starting in August, I better not take up a lot of them." And we hear her comeback film will be with Aamir Khan, directed by Kunal Kohli of 'Hum Tum'. "Yes that's true. I was also supposed to do Karan's film, but a long schedule in London will keep me away from my family, which I don't want right now
And Kunal's film is what I will be shooting soon for. And I have worked with Aamir before, so it should be fun again. Can't talk more on the film yet. Let it go on floor first," says the bubbly actress. But what about other film, apart from this one? " As and when it happens you'll know. I am now open to doing some good films. Won't be taking any and every offer that comes my way." Well, for Kajol fans, it's certainly good to hear that she'll be back on the screen sometime next year. Till then we have to be satisfied with her advertisements and just hope that she signs more ads and even more films in the coming few months.
