Here’s what Kajol has to say about the Supreme Court’s verdict on the National Anthem

The Supreme Court has declared that it is not mandatory for the cinema halls to play National Anthem before they begin the screening of a film. When Kajol was asked about her opinion on the Supreme Court verdict the actress admitted that she automatically stands up when she listens to the National Anthem, “I can’t speak for everyone else in the country. But whenever I listen to the National Anthem I automatically stand up.”


Recently at an event Kajol also spoke about the 12percent tax levied by the government on sanitary napkins, the actress said the administration will decide what is the best and she would not like to further comment as she did not have any expertise on the matter, Kajol quipped, “As far as women’s sanitary napkins are concerned, there is a tax on milk, rice... So, I think the government will know what’s best and how it should be.”


Kajol further said that is has a become a trend that people talk about social causes, “I think it is a good thing, whatever may be the reasons behind this but it is the result that matters. People should stand up, they should talk about things that are important. As far as a celebrity is concerned, if I, as a layman, switch on my TV and see a celebrity face on a channel, I will pause and see what he/she is saying because I know them. That’s the biggest plus point of being a celebrity that people are familiar with you. And if they like you, they sometimes listen to you.”
