The Mukerji family’s annual North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja is always a star-studded affair, but the 2025 celebration has been etched in Bollywood history, thanks entirely to Kajol. The actress, a central figure in the Puja’s organisation, managed to achieve what many fans deemed "impossible": getting veteran actress Jaya Bachchan not only to pose for the chaotic paparazzi but to do so with a genuine, visible laugh.

In a now-viral video, Kajol, dressed in a vibrant traditional saree, is seen affectionately engaging with Jaya Bachchan. Known for her often-strained interactions with the media, Jaya Bachchan was captured responding to a playful prank by Kajol. After posing together, Kajol cheekily encouraged the veteran to take a solo picture, all while the surrounding paparazzi erupted in cheers. The result? A beaming, amused Jaya Bachchan, striking a rare solo pose and then bursting into laughter at Kajol’s antics. Fans immediately flooded social media, calling it a "miracle" and crediting Kajol's spontaneous, warm personality for this unforgettable moment. It was a beautiful display of their real-life chemistry, reminiscent of their beloved on-screen mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dynamic.

A Family Reunion: Rani Mukerji and the Pandal’s Emotional Heart

The Durga Puja is, at its core, a sacred family event for the Mukerjis, and this year’s gathering was particularly poignant. Kajol and her cousin, Rani Mukerji, were the emotional anchors of the event.

Rani Mukerji, radiating festive grace in her traditional attire, joined Kajol and other family members for the pushpanjali (flower offering) and aarti. The two cousins, often seen sharing a close bond at this annual tradition, were captured in heartfelt moments. This year, the celebrations carried a mix of joy and deep sadness as the family collectively remembered their late uncle, Deb Mukherjee, who was the long-time organiser of the pandal. The sight of Kajol, Rani, and their sister Tanishaa sharing emotional hugs underlined the deep, supportive ties of the family, making the grand celebration feel intimate and profoundly meaningful.

From 'Two Much Show' to Festive Fun: Twinkle Khanna Joins the Vibe

Adding an unexpected, modern twist to the traditional gathering was the presence of actress-turned-author Twinkle Khanna. Currently collaborating with Kajol on their popular talk show, Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle, Khanna's attendance highlighted the close friendships blooming in the industry.

Twinkle Khanna, stylish as ever, was seen exchanging warm greetings with the Mukerji family. The sight of Kajol playfully adjusting Twinkle's bindi while posing for the cameras was a charming detail that fans adored. Her presence further solidified the pandal as a hub where Bollywood’s past, present, and even its newest creative collaborations seamlessly merge, creating an ultimate festive moment that blended devotion, family nostalgia, and a whole lot of star power.

In a year marked by both personal loss and professional highs for the Mukerji family, Kajol’s infectious spirit and ability to bring a smile even to the most reserved of faces proved that when she works her magic, anything is truly possible.
