Kajol said that she believed that it "wasn't worth the money that was being paid out." The 44-year-old actress told IANS: "I never wanted to be an actor actually. I didn't think of it was worth the money that was being paid out. I didn't think it was worth the effort and I definitely thought my mother worked too hard for whatever she was doing and however we were at that point of time."
Kajol, a mother of two, took a brief break from her acting career after the 2015 film Dilwale. However, she did make a comeback on the silver screen with the 2017 Tamil film Velaiilla Pattadhari 2, co-starring Dhanush.

The film went on floors in January this year and it has been directed by Pradeep Sarkar and it has been co-produced by Kajol's husband and actor Ajay Devgn.
