Durga Puja celebrations in Mumbai witnessed a heartwarming moment when Bollywood icons Jaya Bachchan and Kajol reunited at the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja Pandal. The actors, who worked together in the iconic 2001 film Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, delighted fans with their warm bond as they greeted each other with a hug. The highlight of their reunion came when Jaya Bachchan planted a kiss on Kajol’s cheek, a gesture that quickly went viral, melting hearts across the internet.
Kajol looked radiant in a pink floral saree, while Jaya Bachchan dazzled in a yellow drape. The duo met at the pandal, which is managed by Kajol, Rani Mukerji, and their families, who annually welcome the Durga idol and host family and friends during the festivities. The North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja Pandal is a popular spot for celebrities, with familiar faces like Sumona Chakravarti, Ishita Dutta, Vatsal Seth, Tanisha Mukerji, and Sharvari Wagh being regular attendees.
The nostalgic reunion between Jaya and Kajol took many back to their roles in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, where Jaya Bachchan played Nandini Raichand, the mother-in-law to Kajol’s character, Anjali. The beloved family drama, directed by Karan Johar, also starred Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, and Kareena Kapoor, and remains a cherished film for audiences, chronicling the emotional journey of a joint family torn apart by conflict.
On the work front, Jaya Bachchan was recently seen in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, where she shared the screen with Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. Meanwhile, Kajol is gearing up for the release of Do Patti, a Netflix film directed by Shashanka Chaturvedi, which also stars Kriti Sanon and Shaheer Sheikh. Produced by Kanika Dhillon’s Kathha Pictures and Kriti Sanon’s Blue Butterfly Films, Do Patti is set to stream from October 25.
The joyous reunion of Jaya Bachchan and Kajol during Durga Puja 2024 serves as a delightful reminder of their iconic chemistry and the strong bonds that transcend the screen.
