News Topical, Digital Desk : Leading Bengali cinema actor Jisshu Sengupta has starred in notable films like Shakuntala Devi, Piku, and Mardaani. Recently, audiences saw him opposite Kajol in the courtroom drama The Trial, where he played Rajeev Sengupta, the husband of Kajol's character, Noyonika Sengupta. With this series, Kajol ventured into the world of digital storytelling, and the two actors' on-screen chemistry instantly resonated with audiences.
Kajol plays a lawyer grappling with professional turmoil in the series, while Jisshu once again plays her husband, whose decisions continue to impact her life. Speaking about his off-screen chemistry with Kajol during the series, Jisshu explained that his and Kajol's bond was like that of Tom and Jessie.
Jisshu Sengupta is a big fan of Kajol
In an exclusive interview with NDTV about working with Kajol, Jisshu revealed how his fanboy love blossomed into a deep friendship. "I grew up watching her films. When she came to Mehboob Studio for our first photoshoot, I was a little nervous and didn't know how to start the conversation," he said.
Jisshu further added, “I worked with Kajol's mother and actress Tanuja Aunty in a Bengali film where we played mother and son. I told Kajol, 'Madam, I've worked with Tanuja Aunty.' She immediately smiled and said, 'Sure, I know.' The best part was when she said, 'Don't call me ma'am.' That's where the conversation started.”
There was a Tom and Jerry-like relationship on set.
Jeeshu says, "It was great working with her, and we were like Tom and Jerry on set. Our director, Umesh Bisht, would sometimes say, 'Let's shoot a little bit now?' because we used to joke around a lot." Being a Kajol fan, I love all her films from the '90s. When I tell her I'm a big fan, she teases me by asking me questions about her films because I have a weak memory and sometimes get stuck.
