Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani is undoubtedly one of the best period films made in Bollywood. From amazing performances to wonderful songs to fantastic dialogues, the movie had everything that a moviegoer wants.
Today, the Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Priyanka Chopra starrer completes five years of its release. So, let’s look at the list of iconic dialogues from the film…
Adhoori mulaqat hie toh phir se milne ka vaada hota hai…
Tujhe yaad kar liya hai aayat ki tarah, ab tera zikr hoga ibadat ki tarah
Bajirao ki raftaar hie Bajirao ki pehchaan hai…
Kiski talvar par sar rakhon yeh bata do mujhe, ishq karna agar khata hai toh saza do mujhe, ae mohabbat ke itihaas likhne walo, main agar harfe galat ho toh mitado mujhe…
Bajirao ne Mastani se mohabbat ki hai; ayyashi nahi…
Cheeteh ki chaal, baaz ki nazar aur Bajirao ki talvar par sandeh nahi karte, kabhi bhi maat de sakti hai…
Ishq, joh toofani dariya se bagavat kar jaaye woh ishq, bhare darbar mein joh duniya se ladh jaaye woh ishq, joh mehboob ko dekhe toh khuda ko bhool jaaye woh ishq…
Heere mein heera ho toh usse kehte hai Kohinoor, Rao ka naam lete hi Kashi ke chehre par aata hai noor…
Aap humse humari zindagi maang lete hum aapko khushi khushi de dete, par aapne toh humse humara guroor cheen liya…
Jag mein kho jaane waale toh kabhi kabhi mil bhi jaate hai, lekin joh apne hi ghar ke aangan mein kho jaaye, woh itni aasaani se nahi milte…
Har dharam mohabbat sikhata hai, par mohabbat ka toh koi dharam nahi hota, woh khud apne aap mein ek dharam hai…
Yaddha hu, thokar paththar se lage tab bhi haath talwar par hie jata hai…
The actress defended her claim that acting demands more than desk jobs in a recent interview.
She said office workers can "chill out" during work hours, unlike film stars.
Fans and working professionals called her comments privileged and out of touch.
The backlash started after her appearance on Amazon Prime's Two Much with Kajol & Twinkle.
Critics pointed out the financial gap and support systems actors have compared to regular employees.
Kajol probably didn't expect this reaction when she sat down with Twinkle Khanna on Two Much. But her comments about actors working harder than people with 9-to-5 jobs have blown up, and not in a good way.

The comments that started it all
Kajol was speaking out about her earlier comments on Two Much with Kajol & Twinkle on Amazon Prime, where she said actors work harder than most people. This time she was explaining why she thinks that.
She told The Hollywood Reporter India that her days are full of shoots, events, and very early flights. One day involved waking at 5 AM to catch a flight to Jaipur for a 3 PM event.
But it was her take on regular jobs that got people talking. She claimed desk workers don't need to be "100% present" and can take breaks, "chill out," and relax while working. She kept coming back to the unending scrutiny actors face like the feeling of always being watched or something as simple as how you cross your legs or who's snapping a picture in the background becomes a constant calculation. You have to be switched on, she insisted, all the time.
The internet, frankly, was having none of it. YouTube and Reddit exploded with responses. "For the kind of remuneration actors are paid, they shouldn't have a problem working 12 hours a day for 4 days a week," one user wrote. Another pointed out that films typically take 3-4 months to shoot, while regular jobs run year-round.
The responses got more pointed. "Vanity mein naps or massages bhi toh hum lete hain," a Reddit user commented, referencing the comfort of vanity vans. Someone else joked: "If you work poorly, you get fired. If you act poorly, you get a Filmfare award."
The bluntest response yet? "Respectfully, Kajol, shut up."
Nobody denies acting is demanding. Long hours, public pressure, and constant judgement are very real. But comparing it to regular employment ignores some major differences.
Most people work 12 months a year with two weeks' holiday if they're lucky. They don't have spot boys fetching drinks or vanity vans for rest breaks. One netizen nailed it: "A working parent's schedule is continuous, every single day, with no wrap-up party or off-season."

There's also the money. While her fee for a single film is probably more than most people earn in a year, she says that doesn’t make the work easy. Still, it does provide a comfort that regular employees don’t have. Kajol has not yet replied to the backlash.
