Kajol has always been quite excited for Durga Puja. The Helicopter Eela actress makes sure to celebrate her favourite festival with her family. On October 4, 2019, Kajol had taken to her Instagram handle and shared beautiful pictures with her mommy, Tanuja and sister, Tanisha from a Durga Puja pandal. With the picture, she had written, "First day of the pujas, shoshti. Before we share it with everybody else.”
Kajol had also talked about celebrating Durga Pooja during her childhood. She had revealed how she loved when her entire family gather together to celebrate the festival. Talking about the same, she had said, "When I was very young, I remember my whole family coming and sitting on the floor on those long mats, which we as children had to unroll. Then all the children would put the paatas on the floor. It used to be a huge family affair (at the Mukherjee puja in Mumbai that’s still celebrated every year), right from my uncles to my aunts to my cousins. There were the same faces that you kept seeing and we would recognise them and go, ‘Kemon achho? Bhalo?’ I remember being given this big bowl of bhaja and we were only allowed to serve the bhaja because we were not old enough to serve anything else. Of course, we would be eating and serving, eating and serving! (Laughs) We were allowed to run around the kitchen and we would stay there from 7 am till 11.30 pm."
Being a true bong, she had further added, "That was the feel of Puja for me and that was my time with my dad. From the time I could walk I have been at that puja. I love the Pujas! Of course, now it’s become much bigger and you have to dress up in the most uncomfortable clothes. But then, Puja was just about us. Most of the people who came for the puja were all Bengali and now the whole world lands up for it. Back then, everybody would speak, look, feel Bengali in every which way."
