Kajol Lashes At Those Wearing Shoes Inside Durga Puja Pandal, Netizens Call Her 'Jaya Bachchan 2.0'
Kajol was seen scolding people at the Durga Puja pandal for entering the area with their shoes on. She asked them to maintain decorum as it's a holy place.
Kajol has been busy managing the Durga Puja pandal for days now. Since the pandal has been set up, she, with her Mukerji cousins, can be seen greeting the guests and managing the ceremonies. However, for the past two days, she has been seen in an angry avatar owing to the people, who surrounded the pandal to grab a glimpse of the stars visiting.
Why Kajol lash out at paps?
On Friday afternoon, Kajol, along with Ajay Devgn and Yug, was seen at pandal offering prayers and seeking blessings of Goddess Durga. While Ajay and Yug left, Kajol stayed to look after the pandal and greet the guests. Amid this, Alia Bhatt with her sister Shaheen came to seek blessings. Seeing this, people seemingly entered the pandal with their shoes on. This didn't go down well with Kajol, and scolded them to maintain some decorum at the puja place.
A video shared by a paparazzo on Instagram shows the actress upset and asking the people around the idol to remove their shoes. When people around paid no heed, she took to the microphone, and emphatically said, “Get off the stage with your shoes. Anyone wearing shoes, get out. Have some respect; it’s pooja”. Kajol’s intervention was to maintain the sanctity of the occasion.
People took to the comments section and had different reactions to the actress’s stand. Some commended her while others commented in jest.
One user wrote, Well done people must respect culture.”
Another wrote, “Jaya Bachchan 2.0”. The Third user wrote, "She is correct only we shouldn’t wear shoes inside mandir or near idols."
Meanwhile, for the occasion, Kajol opted for a purple and pink ombre shaded saree, while her husband Ajay and her son Yug twinned in navy blue Indian wear. In one video the star family is seen posing for pictures in front of Goddess Durga’s idol.
