Confirming the news, Kajol told Hindustan Times, “I was (approached).” Nominated for Best Drama Series this year, Aarya is a remake of the Dutch show Penoza. It has completed two seasons and streams on Disney+ Hotstar.

Kajol said that she liked the script but the project did not work out for her. “I did (watch it) and I liked the script very much. But it didn’t work out for me personally at that time,” she said. Without getting into the details, the actress simply added, “There were other reasons for it.”

Earlier this year, Kajol was announced as one of the Academy invitees, along with Suriya and director Reema Kagti, to be a prestigious member of the Oscars committee. Talking about it, she said, “I’m very grateful for that. I’m very happy and excited to hear that.”
