As much as one would like to decode
Kajal Agarwal's secret to success, the actress credits her accomplishment to the appreciation she gets from the audience. "Nothing comes close to the adrenaline rush that I get when people appreciate my work. Not even money," she says. Ask her if there's any truth in rumours about how much she charges per film, and pat comes the reply, "I work really hard on every project and all I can say is that I get paid what I deserve."
This year,
Kajal will be seen in
Ram Charan's upcoming film,which is the fourth time the two are working together and another film where she teams up with NTR Jr under Puri Jagannadh's baton. Is there a secret behind how she has been able to repeat combinations with almost all the big stars? "There's no secret. I am quite intuitive about picking roles and right from the beginning of my career, I've played characters which I'm comfortable with," she confesses, adding, "My role in Krishna Vamsi's film is full of life and I had a wonderful time working with him and
Charan."
A few days ago, she raised a few eyebrows when she signed Sudhir Mishra's next film, and we hear that her role has shades of grey. "I've never done anything like this in my career and I'm a big fan of Sudhir Mishra's work. He was looking for someone who had an innocent face and who didn't have a stereotype attached to her. In the film, I play the role of a girl who is smart, her life is under control, but there's a grey streak to the character," she reveals.
While she's certainly on top of the game as far as her career is concerned,
Kajal confesses that her personal life is quite boring. "Work is a lot more fun," she laughs. Prod her further if she's in love or if marriage is on the cards any time soon, now that her younger sister is already married, and she says, "Oh no! I did like someone back in college, but love is too big a word. I believe you have to know someone for a long time to be in love. Marriage is not on my mind. My work is my first priority."
