Kajol
and
Kriti
Sanon
get
together
to
pack
a
punch
in
their
new
film,
Do
Patti.
Kajol
plays
a
cop
for
the
first
time
in
her
career,
and
she
straightaway
gets
some
facts
straight.
No,
she
did
not
take
any
tips
from
Bollywood’s
resident
‘policeman’
Ajay
Devgn,
her
husband.
And
when
she
was
asked
who
the
real
Singham
at
home
is,
she
said,
“Dekhiye,
yeh
maine
pehle
bhi
kahaan
hai,
har
stage
pe
kahana
hai
ki
asli
Singham
(points
out
to
herself).”
Do
Patti
is
directed
by
adman
Shashanka
Chaturvedi,
who
makes
his
feature
film
debut
here.
It
has
been
written
by
Kanika
Dhillon.
Set
in
a
hill
station,
Kriti
plays
twins
Soumya
and
Shailee.
Shaheer
Sheikh
plays
her
love
interest.
“I
think
when
you
wear
a
uniform
on
screen,
even
though
you
know
it’s
acting,
there
is
a
sense
of
pride,
respect
and
a
sense
of
authority,”
Kajol
says.
“There’s
a
certain
stature,
kadakness
that
comes
in
your
posture
naturally.
So
yes,
I
really
enjoyed
playing
it.”
Did
she
actually
ride
that
bike
that
we
see
in
the
trailer?
No,
she
says.
More
truths
in
this
video
below.
Kriti
has
a
younger
sister,
Nupur,
and
understands
sibling
rivalry
well.
“There
are
fights
between
my
sister
and
me.
There
are
times
when
we
don’t
like
each
other.
But
Soumya
and
Shailee
are
very
different
and
difficult
for
me
to
understand.
Still,
it
was
easy
due
to
Kanika’s
writing.
You
will
see
a
different
sibling
rivalry
in
this
film,”
she
says.
“I
am
more
like
Soumya,
but
there
are
so
many
things
in
her
that
I
don’t
like.
She
doesn’t
communicate
what
she
feels,
but
I
have
to
say
it
all.
I
am
a
good
mix
of
both,”
Kriti
says.
Shaheer,
however,
insists
that
Kriti
is
as
energetic
like
Shailee.
“I
have
worked
with
Kriti
in
Dilwale;
she
was
very
new
then.
It
was
her
second
film,”
Kajol
says.
“It
has
been
eight
years
now
and
there
are
so
many
films
that
she
has
worked
in.
She
has
grown
as
an
actress,
won
a
National
Award.
It
was
a
wonderfully
different
Kriti,
who
came
on
the
sets
of
Do
Patti.”
Kriti
praised
Kajol
right
back:
“I
was
excited
when
Kajol
ma’am
came
on
board.
I
have
been
a
huge
fan.
When
I
watched
her
and
Shah
Rukh
sir
during
Dilwale,
I
was
in
awe.
I
was
new
and
learning.
I
loved
how
she
switches
on
and
off
the
character.
She
lights
up
the
screen
every
time
and
is
getting
better
and
better.
She
looks
better
in
Do
Patti
than
Dilwale.”
Shaheer
claims
he
was
nervous
on
the
first
day
of
shooting
with
Kajol.
“I
had
to
push
her
and
by
mistake,
I
injured
her,”
he
explains.
“But
the
next
day,
she
came
to
me
and
said
I
did
a
very
nice
job.
That
gave
me
so
much
confidence.
Both
Kajol
ma’am
and
Kriti
made
me
comfortable
on
set.”
Do
Patti
will
stream
on
Netflix
on
October
25.
