Ahead of her film Maa, Kajol visited Kolkata to seek blessings at the Dakshineswar Kali temple, reconnecting with her Bengali roots. Dressed in a pink saree, she shared her gratitude on social media, calling the trip part of her spiritual and cultural journey. Though raised in Mumbai, Kajol’s ties to Kolkata run deep — her father Shomu Mukherjee and grandfather Sashadhar Mukherjee were notable figures in Bengali and Hindi cinema. Her upcoming film Maa, directed by Vishal Furia, features her as a mother fighting to protect her child and releases on June 27 in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali.
