Puja Pandal
Kajol loses her cool at Durga Puja Pandal
The grandeur of Durga Puja celebrations saw a flurry of Bollywood stars taking part in traditional rituals on Friday, with actors Kajol, Alia Bhatt, Rani Mukerji, and Ajay Devgn among the key attendees.
However, a viral video from the festivities has sparked discussion, showing Kajol visibly upset at attendees for a breach of decorum.
The video, which surfaced online, captured Kajol's frustration as she noticed some individuals wearing shoes near the idol of Goddess Durga.
Disturbed by the perceived lack of respect, the actress was seen addressing the crowd, asking them to remove their shoes and urging for reverence during the religious ceremonies. In a stern voice, she can be heard saying, “Have some respect, this is puja."
Despite the moment of tension, the celebration continued with fervour.
Alia Bhatt and her sister were seen actively participating in the rituals, paying homage to the Goddess. The atmosphere of the pandal remained festive, with Bollywood stars mingling with devotees and enjoying the cultural festivities.
Durga Puja, a major festival in Hindu culture, is celebrated with great pomp, particularly in Bengal, and attracts large crowds.
The involvement of prominent film personalities only added to the event’s glamour.
Kajol, known for her devout involvement in the Puja celebrations every year, has often been seen at such events, paying tribute to her Bengali roots.
This year’s celebration, while momentarily marred by the incident, showcased the unity and cultural pride of the attendees, highlighting Bollywood’s close connection with India’s traditional festivals.
