In a recent episode of "Koffee with Karan," host Karan Johar welcomed Bollywood icons Kajol and Rani Mukerji. While the episode felt like a "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" reunion, it also delved into the cousins' off-screen relationship. Karan, expressing curiosity about their seemingly distant bond, revealed that he used to wonder why they weren't close, given their family connection.

Kajol explained the "organic distance" that existed between them, emphasizing that it wasn't due to any animosity. Karan highlighted that their relationship was not close initially, with Kajol maintaining a "silent distance." Rani, acknowledging the complexity, shared that Kajol was always "Kajol didi" to her, and their connection evolved over time.

The turning point in their relationship occurred during a challenging period when both lost their fathers. Rani emphasized that such losses bring families closer. Reflecting on their journey, she mentioned that age and wisdom played a role in bridging the gap, stating, "There is a difference when you are 17 and when you are 40; you grow wiser as people. You also learn to not bother about the little things."

Despite never sharing leading roles in films apart from "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai," the candid conversation on the show provided insights into the nuances of family dynamics, growth, and the enduring bond between Kajol and Rani.
