Kajol, who made her web series debut with Disney+Hotstar's The Trial, has surprised her fans with her first onscreen kiss in her 31-year-long career. The actress, who plays a lawyer named Noyonika Sengupta in the show, broke her no-kissing policy as she kissed her co-stars Alyy Khan and Jisshu Sengupta in two different episodes of the show.
The scenes have gone viral on social media, with many fans expressing their shock and admiration for Kajol's bold move. Some fans also praised her chemistry with both the actors, who play her love interests in the show.
The Trial is an adaptation of the award-winning American series The Good Wife, which follows the journey of Noyonika as she embarks on a journey that makes her stand the test of time after her husband's betrayal. It also stars Sheeba Chaddha, Kubbra Sait and Gaurav Pandey in pivotal roles.
The show has received mixed reviews from critics, who have appreciated Kajol's performance but have also pointed out the flaws in the script and the direction. Some critics have also compared the show with the original and have found it lacking in depth and drama.
Kajol, who has been known for her romantic roles in films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, has said that she chose The Trial because of the complexities and layers of Noyonika's character. She has also said that she felt protective about Noyonika and that reaffirmed her faith in choosing the web series.
The Trial is streaming on Disney+Hotstar from July 14.
