Kajol has always been known for setting her own rules in Bollywood. One of her most talked-about personal boundaries was her long-standing no-kiss policy on screen. However, the actor surprised fans when she broke this rule in her OTT debut series The Trial – Pyaar, Kaanoon, Dhokha. The intimate scene with co-star Alyy Khan quickly became a major talking point.
The courtroom drama not only marked Kajol’s digital debut but also pushed her out of her comfort zone. The actor shared a lip-lock scene that grabbed attention, as it was something she had avoided for decades. Now, Kajol has finally opened up about what made her take that bold step, revealing that the decision was deeply connected to the character she was portraying.

Kajol Reveals Why She Broke Her No-Kiss Policy
Speaking about the moment in a recent interview, Kajol explained that it was never just about the scene itself. She said, “Honestly, it was the season that I was playing. It had so much to do with the character and who she was. It wasn’t simply a kiss; it was about what she thought, what she wanted to happen, and what didn’t happen for her—what she believed, what she had faith in, and what she couldn’t have faith in. It was something that was an integral part of the entire screenplay, so I couldn’t have cut that out without cutting an integral part of the entire character.”
Kajol did not shy away from admitting that the decision was difficult. Opening up about her hesitation, she said, “I think I was uncomfortable with it. I was very, very uncomfortable with the idea till I was standing on set. I liked it in theory and wasn’t sure whether I was actually going to do it or tell them, ‘Cut! This is not happening!’ But I really think it was simply that—it was a professional call where I felt that I could make this call today.”
