We came across a throwback incident where she had to meet filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The director was not so popular then as he is now. He was casting for his Salman Khan starrer Khamoshi and Kajol was his first choice to play Anna. The actress was shooting in  Gujarat at the time and Bhansali got in touch with her mother Tanuja and managed to get an appointment with her for the narration. 

Sanjay took a plane, train and car ride to reach the venue which was a hotel, suggested by Kajol and then asked him to wait in the lobby. Sanjay patiently waited for minutes which turned into hours. After eight hours he phoned her only to be told that she forgot all about the meeting. 

The role was also rejected by Madhuri Dixit and it ultimately went to Manisha Koirala.
