The internet is abuzz with reactions to a heartwarming moment between Kajol and Jaya Bachchan at a recent Durga Puja celebration in Mumbai. Videos and photos circulating online show the two actresses sharing a warm embrace, laughter, and candid conversation. The interaction has particularly caught the attention of fans, who are praising Kajol for seemingly bringing out a joyful side of Jaya Bachchan, who is known for her reserved demeanor and, at times, tense relationship with the paparazzi.
The Durga Puja festivities, held at the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja pandal, provided the backdrop for this memorable interaction. Kajol, a regular at the puja, was seen greeting Jaya Bachchan with evident warmth. In a video that has gone viral, Kajol can be seen playfully urging Jaya Bachchan to pose for the photographers. Mindful of Jaya's well-documented discomfort with intrusive media practices, Kajol also cautioned the photographers against shouting. Despite the photographers' shouting, Jaya Bachchan obliged, posing alongside Kajol and even flashing a genuine smile.
This seemingly simple act has resonated deeply with fans, who have flooded social media with appreciative comments. Many have noted the rarity of seeing Jaya Bachchan so relaxed and cheerful in public, attributing it to Kajol's warm and playful presence. Some fans have even jokingly suggested that Kajol deserves an Oscar for achieving the "impossible". Comments such as "Kajol ne impossible kaam karwa diya" (Kajol did the impossible) and "Only Kajol can put a smile on her face" reflect the widespread sentiment.
Kajol's mindful and respectful approach towards Jaya Bachchan and the paparazzi has also been commended. After Jaya Bachchan posed for the cameras, Kajol prompted the photographers to express their gratitude, saying, "Thank you bolo". This gesture further solidified the positive impression of Kajol's handling of the situation.
The appearance occurred during Saptami celebrations. For the occasion, Kajol wore a yellow, beige, and pink saree, while Jaya Bachchan wore a golden and beige saree.
Jaya Bachchan's relationship with the paparazzi has often been a subject of discussion. Known for her candid nature, she has, on many occasions, expressed her displeasure with what she considers intrusive media practices. This has led to some viewing her as unapproachable, while others appreciate her firm stance on maintaining personal boundaries. In contrast, Kajol is known for being more at ease with the media, navigating the attention with humor and grace.
The Durga Puja pandal was also attended by other celebrities, including Twinkle Khanna and Rani Mukerji. Kajol was seen sharing moments with her children, Nysa and Yug, and her mother, veteran actress Tanuja.
