Tanuja Whistles At Kajol's Request, Anupam Kher Calls Her ‘OG Coolest Heroine'
On the work front, Kajol is all set to reprise her powerful role as Noyonika Sengupta in the much-awaited second season of The Trial
Kajol has recently received a prestigious award for her contribution to Indian Cinema. The show was attended by her mother and veteran actress Tanuja. During the show, a video was shared, which is now going viral. Tanuja won hearts as she was seen whistling loudly.
Taking to his Instagram handle, Anupam Kher shared the video in which he is seen sitting with Kajol, Tanuja and Anupam Kher. All three are enjoying the show. Anupam whistled to which Tanuja also expressed desire. Kajol requested her and then whistled which grabbed attention. Anupam Kher called her OG coolest heroine.
Watch the video here:
In the same award show, Kajol left everyone shocked recently when she refused to talk in Hindi. It all started when a paparazzo asked her to say something in Hindi since the Bollywood actress was addressing the media in Marathi. This seemingly left Kajol annoyed, who reacted angrily and said, 'Should I say it in Hindi now? Whoever wants to understand, will understand!" In no time, the video went viral on social media with netizens expressing disappointment with Kajol's behaviour. Several users condemned the actress' comment and asked her to stop working in the Hindi film industry.
It should be noted that Kajol's comment comes at a time when a new debate over language is brewing in Maharashtra – speak Marathi if you live in the state. It all started in April this year when the Maharashtra government passed a decision to make Hindi a compulsory third language in schools. While the decision was rolled back, several incidents have been reported where alleged MNS workers got into a heated argument with people in Mumbai and Pune who refused to speak Marathi.
On the work front, Kajol is all set to reprise her powerful role as Noyonika Sengupta in the much-awaited second season of The Trial, and fans are super excited. The official announcement was made recently, confirming that the courtroom drama will return for a second innings, with Kajol leading the charge once again. The web series Trial is a legal drama adapted from the American series The Good Wife. Kajol plays Noyonika Sengupta, a housewife who returns to her law career after her husband is imprisoned due to corruption and a sex scandal. The US version of The Good Wife premiered in 2009 and ran for seven seasons. The drama focused on Alicia Florrick, a woman who must support her politician husband after he is implicated in a sexual misconduct scandal while resuming her legal practice. The makers haven't revealed the release date of Aamir Ali and Kajol starrer The Good Wife yet but dropped the first look last year.

Chennai to host three-day Patriotic Film Festival from tomorrow ahead of Independence Day
Patriotism has long been a central theme in Indian cinema, with filmmakers across generations celebrating the nation's history, struggles, and spirit through powerful storytelling. This Independence Day week, that enduring tradition will be honoured through a special patriotic film festival, is jointly organised by the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) and the National Film Archive of India (NFAI). The three-day festival, to be held from August 11 to 13 at the Tagore Film Centre in Chennai, will showcase a curated selection of landmark feature films and documentaries that have stirred national pride over the decades. The event will be inaugurated on Monday, following the opening screening of the 1965 classic 'Shaheed', which pays tribute to the sacrifices of freedom fighters Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev. Seven feature films and four documentaries are on the festival's line-up. Among the feature films are timeless works such as 'Veerapandiya Kattabomman' (1959) and 'Parasakthi' (1952) -- both starring the legendary Sivaji Ganesan -- as well as more recent hits like 'Uri: The Surgical Strike' (2019) and 'Swatantra Veer Savarkar' (2023). Other notable titles include 'Saat Hindustani' (1969), Amitabh Bachchan's debut film set against the backdrop of the liberation of Goa, which will be the festival's closing screening. The documentary segment will feature 'Our Flag, Shahadat, Netaji Subash Chandra Bose, and Tilak', each exploring pivotal moments and personalities in India's freedom struggle and nation-building journey. According to the organisers, the festival aims to connect audiences -- especially younger generations -- with films that have not only entertained but also inspired patriotism and civic pride. The screenings will serve as a reminder of cinema's powerful role in shaping and reflecting India's collective identity. Entry to all screenings is free, offering the people an opportunity to experience these classics on the big screen. "We want people to relive the stories that shaped our nation and inspired millions," an NFDC official said. For additional details about the schedule and screenings, interested viewers can contact the organisers at 8778553991.

War 2 Pre-Release Event: Hrithik Roshan Praises Jr NTR As They Make FIRST Appearance Together
Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR sent fans into a frenzy as they made their first public appearance for War 2 promotions during the pre-release event in Hyderabad! Hyderabad buzzed with excitement today as the team of War 2 hosted the film's sole promotional event in the city with the film's lead stars Jr NTR and Hrithik Roshan. This marked both actors' first public appearance together while promoting the film. Fans travelled from various states, filling the air with their enthusiastic chants and cheers, super-excited to catch a glimpse of both superstars. During the event, Hrithik Roshan was all praise for Jr NTR, and he revealed what he learnt from him. During the pre-release event in Hyderabad, Hrithik Roshan added an emotional touch by sharing his experiences working with Jr NTR. He noted the similarities in their careers and praised NTR for his dedication, calling him a 'one-take final-take star.' Hrithik mentioned that he has learned the importance of giving 100 percent to each shot from NTR, a lesson he intends to carry forward in his future projects. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pallav Paliwal (@pallav_paliwal) 'I see a lot of myself in Tarak. We have had very similar journeys for 25 years now, and I think Tarak sees a little bit of himself in me also. It is true when they say that he is a one-take final-take star. On set, Tarak, I have not just observed you, but I have learnt from you. I have learnt how to go into a shot 100% — not 99.99%, not 99.999, but 100%. Which is why when he comes out of a shot, there is no judgement on me. He will not even check the shot because he knows he has given everything to it. And I will apply that in my future films. Tarak, thank you for teaching me that," he said. About War 2 War 2's plot sets up an intense face-off between Hrithik Roshan's character, Major Kabir Dhaliwal, and Jr NTR's Vikram. Both are Indian spies but operate on vastly different interpretations of patriotism, leading to a clash that promises to be both physical and ideological. Kiara Advani steps in as Kavya Luthra, a character expected to play a pivotal role in the unfolding drama. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 serves as the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War, which starred Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff, and Vaani Kapoor. The first film was a runaway hit, praised for its slick action and stylish storytelling. This sequel is also a part of the growing YRF Spy Universe, which connects characters and narratives from films like Pathaan and Tiger Zinda Hai. view comments First Published: August 10, 2025, 21:33 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
