In the photoshoot, Kajol and Rekha were seen striking a cosy pose for the magazine cover. They wore an off-shoulder sweater but what left everyone jaw-dropped that the two divas slipped into the same sweater in the photograph. While Kajol and Rekha looked stunning and sensuous in the shoot, it didn't go down well with their fans. They faced massive flak for their steamy photoshoot which created quite a stir.

However, the controversy didn't affect the two divas. In fact, Kajol even joked about posing with Rekha in the same sweater when they met at Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas' star-studded wedding reception in 2018. Clearly, she did not shy away from her bold photoshoot and owned it like a boss. "Last time we clicked a picture together was in a sweater," Kajol had captioned the image.

Recently, Kajol completed three decades in Hindi cinema. She has delivered an array of hits in her 30 year career, most notably Baazigar, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Karan Arjun, Gupt, Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Her on-screen pairing with the Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has always ensured a good footfall at the theatres.
