Kajol, Ajay Devgn share glimpse from daughter Nysa's graduation ceremony, she attends wearing a saree: ‘So proud, wholly emotional'

Kajol and Ajay Devgn have several reasons to be proud of. On the professional front, their mythological horror film Maa, which released in cinemas last month, earned over Rs 36 crore at the domestic box office. On the personal front, their daughter Nysa Devgan has graduated from Glion Institute of Higher Education in Switzerland. On Tuesday, Kajol and Ajay shared a joint social media post in which they showed glimpses of the graduation ceremony from Switzerland. The video contained a balcony view from their hotel, Nysa's portrait with a graduation hat, and a family picture of the parents, Nysa, and her younger brother, Yug Devgan, all decked up for the graduation ceremony. The caption of the social media post stated: 'Such a special occasion .. so proud (smile with tear emoji)… and wholly emotional.' They also added the hashtags — 'Graduation,' 'First baby,' and 'She's an adult.' While the couple didn't share videos from inside the graduation ceremony, several others from the occasion surfaced on social media. Such a special occasion .. so proud 🥲… and wholly emotional.#graduation #firstbaby #shesanadult — Kajol (@itsKajolD) July 29, 2025 In a video gone viral, as Nysa's name is announced and she goes up on the stage to receive her degree, one can hear Kajol screaming, 'Proud of you, baby' despite the roaring applause and noise in the auditorium. Her enthusiastic reaction reminded many fans of her zealous character Anjali from Karan Johar's 2001 blockbuster family drama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. In an interview with SCREEN, Kajol admitted she's like that mom from K3G who'd whistle and hoot whenever her child is on the stage. In the film, despite her husband, Shah Rukh Khan's Rahul, warning her not to create a scene at the annual event of the London school, Kajol's Anjali couldn't help but rush to the stage in order to finish her son Krish's rendition of the Indian National Anthem. 'Trust me, it really embarrasses my kids. They have much more severe reactions than that poor child ever did,' Kajol said, adding, 'Whenever I'm at any of Yug's musicals or any of Nysa's stage performances, and she's standing with 15 other girls, and I'm just clapping, she'd be like (shooing her away) (laughs). So, it's happened lots of times.' At the trailer launch of Maa, when pr0ducer Ajay Devgn was asked why he didn't consider casting Nysa as Kajol's daughter in the film, he replied, 'Right now, she's not interested in any of this.' Meanwhile, Yug has made his voice acting debut by lending the voice to lead character Li Fong in the Hindi dubbed version of Jonathan Entwistle's Hollywood martial arts film Karate Kid: Legends. Ajay has lent the Hindi voice to Li's mentor, Mr. Han, played by Jackie Chan.

Meanwhile, Kajol was seen in Kayoze Irani's patriotic drama Sarzameen, which dropped on JioHotstar last week.

Actor Raveendran withdraws his nomination for AMMA president post

Actor Raveendran has withdrawn his nomination to the post of president of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA). However, he will contest for the post of general secretary in the election for the executive committee of the association to be held on August 15. The actor said on Tuesday (July 29, 2025) that it was his personal decision to withdraw the nomination to the post of president. He was among the six actors who had filed the nominations for the post of president on the last day for filing nominations on July 24. The others included Jagadeesh, Shweta Menon, Devan, Anoop Chandra, and Jayan Cherthala. On speculations that a consensus may emerge to support a woman to the post of president, Mr. Raveendran said it should be welcomed. The last date for withdrawal of nominations is July 31. As many as 74 nominations were filed for the election scheduled for August 15. Though there were reports that Mr. Jagadeesh may withdraw his nomination to the post of president, there was no official confirmation yet from the actor. It was stated that he may withdraw to support the candidature of Swetha Menon, the lone woman candidate in the fray for the post of president. A divided house The association continued to remain a divided house on whether the members accused of misconduct in the Hema Committee report (on the issues faced by women in the Malayalam film industry) or cases registered in its wake should contest the election. The issue came to the fore after actor Baburaj, who had faced allegations of sexual assault, filed his nomination to the post of general secretary. While actors such as Sarayu and Ansiba had stated that there was nothing wrong in the accused members contesting, others, including Mallika Sukumaran, Maala Parvathi, and Anoop Chandran, have opposed it, stating that it may set a bad precedent as actors had stayed away on earlier occasions after facing such allegations. Actor Vijay Babu, an accused in a rape case filed by a woman actor, said in a social media post on Tuesday that he had stepped down from the executive committee of the association following the allegations and that Mr. Baburaj should stay away this time as the latter has cases pending against him.
