"Lacking In Hindi Cinema": Kajal Aggarwal Makes Big Statement About Preferring South Industry
Kajal Aggarwal dropped a big statement, opening up on why she prefers South film industry over the Hindi cinema industry.
Ever since making her debut in Telugu films in 2007, actress Kajal Aggarwal has become a huge star in the South industry and she has even appeared in some Hindi movies like 'Singham', 'Special 26' and 'Do Lafzon Ki Kahani'. At a recent event, the actress spoke candidly about why she prefers the South industry over Bollywood. She also spoke about how the South industry has better "ethics, values and discipline', which she finds is "lacking in Hindi cinema".
"There are a lot of people who want to start their career in Hindi because it is a more nationwide recognised language. Having said that, yes the south is a very friendly industry, it’s very accepting, there are fabulous technicians in the south, wonderful directors and phenomenal content that is generated over all four languages- Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada," Kajal Aggarwal said at the News 18 Rising India Summit 2023.
“And of course, Hindi has been our mother tongue. We have grown up watching Hindi movies. It has been accepting and has been very kind to me as well. But I prefer the eco-system, the ethics, the values, the discipline of the south industry, which I feel is lacking in Hindi cinema," she added.
Kajal Aggarwal then spoke about how she was born and brought up in Mumbai, but the feeling of home for her comes in Hyderabad and Chennai.
“I am a Bombay girl, born and raised. I started my career in the Hyderabad (Telugu) film industry and the main body of my work is Tamil and Telugu films. I have done a few Hindi films but for me, the feeling of home is Hyderabad and Chennai and that will never go," said Kajal Aggarwal.
Kajal Aggarwal's next big project is 'Indian 2', in which she would be starring alongside legend Kamal Hassan.
Kajal Aggarwal has worked in more than 50 films and has also received two South Indian International Movie Awards.
