In one of the videos, Kajol and Rani are seen drawing back the curtains of the pandal to reveal the idol of Durga Maa, as the “Durga Devi Stotram Aigiri Nandini” played in the background. Once the idol was fully unveiled, both actors folded their hands and bowed in reverence. They appeared visibly emotional as they caught the first glimpse of the deity.
In another clip, director Ayan Mukerji was seen participating in the Durga Puja festivities. This marked his first celebration of the festival since the passing of his father, veteran actor Deb Mukherjee’s demise. Fondly called Debu the family, he was a co-organiser of the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja and was present at the pandal every year.
In a video going viral on Instagram, Kajol, Rani Mukerji, and Tanishaa Mukerji are seen hugging each other with tears in their eyes. Amid these emotional family moments, Kajol also shared a warm embrace with Ayan Mukerji before the two posed together for the paparazzi.
This year, Durga Puja celebrations, also known as Durgotsava or Sharodotsava, will begin on September 28 (Shashthi) and conclude on October 2 (Vijayadashami).
