Kajol Shares Playing Powerful Characters comes Naturally to her, Embraces Boldness with Confidence

Bollywood actress Kajol is set to grace the screens once again, this time in the Disney+Hotstar show The Trial: Pyaar, Kaanoon, Dhokha. Known for her portrayal of strong female characters, Kajol shares that playing such roles comes naturally to her.

In the Indian adaptation of the popular American series The Good Wife, Kajol takes on the character of Noyonika Sengupta, a housewife-turned-lawyer. Directed by Suparn S Varma, The Trial explores Noyonika’s journey as she navigates a scandal that lands her husband in jail.

For Kajol, embodying strong characters is second nature. In an interview, the 48-year-old actress expressed her preference for powerful roles over vulnerable ones.

She shared that while portraying a strong person faced with weakness and vulnerability can be challenging, it was precisely what drew her to the character of Noyonika. Kajol resonated with Noyonika’s practical approach to difficult situations and her willingness to do whatever it takes for her family’s well-being.

Despite her prowess on-screen, Kajol admits to struggling with shyness in front of the camera. However, this has not deterred her from seeking new challenges.

The actress expressed her desire to explore the comedy genre, believing that she can excel in it due to her natural comedic abilities. While Kajol awaits the perfect comedy script, she is excited about her debut in the long-format web series The Trial, which premieres on Disney Hotstar on July 14.

The Trial also features talented actors such as Sheeba Chaddha, Alyy Khan, Kubbra Sait, and Gaurav Pandey. Produced by Banijay Asia and Ajay Devgn FFilms, the show promises an intriguing storyline and powerful performances from the cast.
