Kajol, known for her vibrant personality and strong on-screen presence, recently channeled her inner "Maa" in a rather unconventional way. The actress, who is gearing up for the release of her upcoming mythological horror film "Maa," was spotted engaging in a heartfelt conversation with a tree, leaving onlookers amused and intrigued.

The incident, which quickly went viral, saw Kajol standing in front of a large tree, animatedly talking and gesturing as if she were conversing with a person. While the exact content of the conversation remains a mystery, sources suggest that she was possibly practicing her lines for "Maa," where a possessed tree plays a central role. According to the trailer, Kajol's character's daughter learns about a tree that is said to be possessed by a demon, and that the place they are living in has a history of girls being reported missing for a long time. In the movie, Kajol gets captured by the antagonist of the film, which is a tree named Doito and is about how a mother saves her daughter from the cursed tree.

This isn't the first time Kajol has shown her appreciation for nature. In the past, she has been involved in various environmental initiatives, including tree plantation drives with her sister Tanishaa Mukerji. Back in 2019, Kajol emphasized the importance of connecting with nature, stating, "Science has advanced, but we must connect with nature at the root level." She also humorously added, "If trees had WiFi, then everybody would be planting them," highlighting the need for people to recognize the intrinsic value of nature beyond its immediate benefits.

Kajol's impromptu chat with the tree has sparked a wave of reactions online, with fans praising her dedication to her craft and her endearing eccentricity. Some have even suggested that she was simply embracing her role as a mother, extending her maternal instincts to the plant kingdom. This aligns with her role in "Maa", where the film showcases how she gets there, is where the plot thickens.

Meanwhile, anticipation is building for "Maa," where Kajol headlines the project alongside a stellar supporting cast, including Ronit Roy and Indraneil Sengupta. The film, directed by Vishal Furia, explores the battle between good and evil, with Kajol portraying a fierce mother protecting her daughter from supernatural forces. Kajol confessed that shooting for the climax scene of Maa was quite brutal and physically exhausting.

"Maa" is slated to release on June 27, 2025, and is produced by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande, with Kumar Mangat Pathak serving as co-producer. The film will be released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali, bringing the story to a wider audience.

Apart from "Maa," Kajol has other exciting projects lined up, including "Sarzameen" and "Maharagni – Queen of Queens". She was also recently seen in Netflix's "Do Patti," where she played a police officer. With her diverse roles and continued passion for acting, Kajol remains a prominent figure in Bollywood, captivating audiences with her talent and unique charm.
