Kajal Aggarwal Praises South Cinema, Says Bollywood Lacks Ethics & Discipline, Twitter Reacts

There are many actresses in the southern film industry who are doing pretty well career-wise despite being from northern India and Kajal Aggarwal is a leading name in this list. Almost a year ago, Kajal Aggarwal embraced motherhood as she gave birth to a baby boy whom she and her husband Gautam Kitchlu named as Neil.

Though Kajal Aggarwal has worked in few Hindi movies, she is primarily known for her work in Telugu and Tamil films and recently during an interview with a news portal, she opened up on her journey which started with Vivek Oberoi and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starrer “Kyun! Ho Gaya Na…”.

Kajal stated that she was in 10^th standard when she worked in “Kyun! Ho Gaya Na…” and when she got the offer, she thought to give it a go because she would get the chance to meet Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai and she loved that experience.

Talking about the southern movie industry, Kajal Aggarwal says that the southern industry is very accepting but there is no shortcut or an easy way to achieve success there. She further says that many prefer to start their career in the Hindi movie industry because it is more recognized nationwide but the southern industry is very friendly, there are superb directors, technicians, etc. and magnificent content is generated in four languages – Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam.

In regard to Bollywood, Kajal Aggarwal says that undoubtedly Hindi is her mother-tongue and she has grown up watching Hindi films but for her, the eco-system, ethics, discipline and values of the southern cinema hold a lot of importance and it is something which Bollywood lacks.

In response to the question that in which industry she will like to return after having the baby, she says that she is born and grown up in Bombay but she started her career in Hyderabad (Telugu cinema) and has mainly worked in Telugu and Tamil movies. She further says that she may have worked in few Hindi movies but she gets the feeling of home from Hyderabad and Chennai which will never go.
