Shah Rukh Khan has evolved as a person: Kajol

Mumbai:Bollywood actress Kajol, who has shared screen space with superstar Shah Rukh Khan in films like 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge', 'Baazigar' and 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', among others, says her co-actor has "evolved as a person".

"As a human being I would say he has definitely evolved and grown as a person. His attitude towards life is wonderful to see right now. And he is in a nice place personally speaking," Kajol said.

Kajol, who will soon recreate her on-screen chemistry with SRK in Rohit Shetty's 'Dilwale', says working with the 'My Name Is Khan' actor is always a "learning experience" for her.

"As an actor, Shah Rukh is amazing. I always said that whenever I work with him, it's a learning experience for me. Likewise, in 'Dilwale' I feel I have learnt many things from him," she said.

"It's quite hard to fathom Shah Rukh entirely, but whenever I get to work with him I learn something," she added.

On the personal front, Kajol wishes to make her children Nysa and Yug watch her forthcoming film 'Dilwale'.

"I will definitely take them to watch the movie. Yug is too small to sit in a place for a long time. He will surely get bored, but will try to make them watch 'Dilwale'," Kajol said.

The actress revealed that she was initially reluctant to do the film because of long outdoor shoots, but her daughter Nysa convinced her otherwise.

"I told my daughter it is going to be a tough time for them, as I am not going to be around for a long time. Nysa replied nicely, saying that just because I love her that doesn't mean I can't love anything else," she said.

"I was so emotional with her reply. I was in tears just like a typical mother, but so pleased that my children made me feel to do those things that I love to do," she added.

Talking about her preparation for 'Dilwale', Kajol said that she didn't have to "work much" for the film.

"I didn't have to work much for doing 'Dilwale', but yes, I stressed on a healthy lifestyle for 6 months before starting to work in the movie. I am very health conscious and disciplined. I like to go to the gym, like to have proper diet. Now I am happy with the way I am looking," she added.

Besides Kajol and SRK, 'Dilwale' features an ensemble cast of stars like Varun Dhawan, Kriti Sanon, Varun Sharma, Johnny Lever, Boman Irani and Sanjay Mishra.

The film is set to hit the screens on December 18.
