Writing mein change karna padta hain. You cannot do this, say this and such. That in itself has a lot of restrictions on it. And then you worry about morcha lagega, political pressure, kuch aur hoga," Kajol told the portal. 

While chatting about the digital space and the many advantages of the OTT world, Kajol also admitted that she was offered Sushmita Sen's Aarya. "I was (approached)," Kajol admitted to the portal when asked if she could have made her debut years ago with Ram Madhvani's Emmy-nominated series.
