Kajol, who is married to actor Ajay Devgn, took a sabbatical from full-time acting in 2001 and returned to films with the 2006 romantic thriller, Fanaa.

Kajol also revealed that she is open to small screen. “I would like to do something on TV. But there is nothing concrete on that front. I haven’t spoken to anyone. One thing I am sure of is that I won’t judge a dance reality show.”
