Kajol and Rani Mukerji were the guests on the latest episode of Karan Johar`s talk show, Koffee With Karan season 8. The filmmaker quizzed Rani on the topic of gender discrimination based on age in Bollywood. The actress, at an event earlier this year, mentioned that male stars do not seem to age in Bollywood, while actresses are soon put into the `old` box.
Karan Johar asked for Rani`s opinion on why a mature love story, casting stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, is not being made today. In reply, Rani said something that stumped Karan. When Karan said the film industry can be `ageist`, Rani interrupted to say, "No, I don`t think it is only the industry. Let`s not be harsh on the industry. I think, the industry does what they (the makers) expect will be accepted by the audience or not."
