Tanishaa Mukerji says constant comparisons with sister Kajol ‘do not bother her’: I got so much privilege

Tanishaa Mukerji, who was last seen in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11, stated that the public may want to compare her to Kajol, but she does not ‘live in that space.’

Tanishaa Mukerji is unconcerned about the constant comparisons to her sister Kajol and their respective careers. Tanishaa told The Indian Express that while she is grateful to Kajol for giving her’so much privilege’ in the industry, she cannot compare her career to that of her sister.

What Tanishaa said.
In the interview, Tanishaa stated, “These things do not bother me. I can’t look at my sister and myself and compare. I don’t compare myself to other actors, so why should I compare myself to my sister? I believe that each actor and star has their own journey. And, yes, my career was not as successful as my sister’s, but she began when she was sixteen. I had so many advantages because she was in the industry. I thank her career for providing me with everything I needed. Overall, I had a very comfortable career. I did not have to work. So, from that perspective, I never compare. I think the world enjoys comparing; I don’t live in that space.”
