Kajol snaps at reporter for asking her to speak in Hindi; fans say, ‘Then stop doing Hindi films'
Bollywood actor Kajol has once again made headlines for snapping at the paparazzi. The actor recently lost her cool at a reporter during the Maharashtra State Film Awards 2025 held in Mumbai on Tuesday. At the event, Kajol was honoured with the prestigious Raj Kapoor Award for her contribution to Indian cinema. However, during her interaction with the media, when a reporter asked her to speak in Hindi, she snapped back. In a viral video, Kajol is seen speaking in Marathi to the reporters, calling the award a 'big deal'. However, when one reporter asked her to repeat her words in Hindi, Kajol got irritated and said, 'Abhi main Hindi mein bolu (Now should I speak in Hindi too)?' She added, 'Jisko samjhna hai woh samjh lenge (Those who want to understand what I said, will figure it out).' A post shared by First Saw It Here (@firstsawithere) Many on social media didn't agree with Kajol's behaviour and her refusal to speak in Hindi. A comment read, 'Then why do you make films in Hindi?' Another comment said, 'Ask her to stop doing Hindi films. She should only do Marathi films.' A user on X, formerly Twitter, wrote, 'After earning so much money and fame through the Hindi audience, Kajol says 'Ab Hindi mein bolun? Jisko samajhna hai samajh le'.' At the award show, Kajol wore her mother's black and white saree. She received the award from Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and delivered her acceptance speech in fluent Marathi. 'It is my birthday today,' the actor told the crowd after accepting the award. Kajol attended the ceremony with her mother, Tanuja, and told the audience that her mother had received the same award years ago, and now her receiving it made the moment even more special. On the work front, Kajol will return as her character Noyonika in The Trial Season 2. She was last seen in film Sarzameen, which also starred Ibrahim Ali Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The film was panned by critics. Kajol has Maharagni: Queen of Queens in the pipeline, which will also star Prabhu Deva and Naseeruddin Shah.
