Kajal Aggarwal say “South is very accepting”; claims Hindi industry lacks ethics

Kajal Aggarwal is one of the most established actresses. Even though she made her debut in Bollywood with 2004 film Kyun! and had also starred in superhit Singham, she later on became the most known face of the South cinema. She has given back-to-back hits in the latter. Recently, Kajal spoke about working in south and bollywood, and to why she prefers south industry more.

Kajal had attended the News 18 Rising India Summit. During which she said, “There are a lot of people who want to start their career in Hindi because it is a more nationwide recognised language. Having said that, yes the south is a very friendly industry, it’s very accepting, there are fabulous technicians in the south, wonderful directors and phenomenal content that is generated over all four languages- Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada.”

The actress also added, “And of course, Hindi has been our mother tongue. We have grown up watching Hindi movies. It has been accepting and has been very kind to me as well. But I prefer the ecosystem, the ethics, the values, the discipline of the south industry, which I feel is lacking in Hindi cinema.”

Kajal further said, “I am a Bombay girl, born and raised. I started my career in the Hyderabad (Telugu) film industry and the main body of my work is Tamil and Telugu films. I have done a few Hindi films but for me, the feeling of home is Hyderabad and Chennai and that will never go away.”

On the work front, Kajal will be next seen in Indian 2, opposite Kamal Haasan. The S. Shankar directorial will also feature Rakul Preet Singh.
