Kajol said, "I would say that yes, it did happen at some point, definitely. But we sorted it out. It was momentary. It wasn't something that worked too much against us. Tanishaa is in the movies and is doing films. So, that was there but it's not there anymore."

She further added, "They all need to be tolerated. The older sibling will think they're the holder of the truth, and they can tell the younger ones how it was. That can be really difficult, especially if one child was treated worse than the other. This is part of the uniqueness of siblings, too: that there isn't any other relationship you'll ever have, however deep the love or friendship, where their diverting from your version of the past puts your credibility, your essence, at risk. You can't give it up: which of us would be prepared to say: 'Well, that's the furnace in which I think I was forged - but who knows, I might be wrong?'" In essence, she believes that differences between siblings will always exist, which should be acknowledged. This bond between siblings is purely unique and unlike any other in the world, which should be cherished.
