Will Nysa Devgan carry Kajol's legacy forward in Bollywood like Rasha Thadani is doing for Raveena Tandon? Actor reveals
Bollywood actor Raveena Tandon ruled the industry in the 90s with her hit films, and now, her daughter Rasha Thadani has made her debut, carrying her legacy forward. Kajol, who is currently promoting her upcoming film Maa, revealed in an interview with Filmygyan whether her daughter Nysa Devgan also plans to enter the film industry.

When asked if Nysa will take her legacy forward like Rasha is doing for her mother Raveena, Kajol replied, "No, I don't think she will. She is not interested in movies. I love all the kids in my family and I would want them to do exactly what gives them happiness and whatever they feel they'll succeed in."
Kajol further revealed that her children haven't yet watched her film Maa, and spoke about whether they critique her performances. She said, "Mere bacchon ko meri picture pasand nahi aati kyunki mujhe rona dhona padta hai usmein aur unhe pasand nahi aapni maa ko screen pe rote hue dekhke. Nysa aur Yug bahut sehme sehme ho jaate hain mujhe rote hue dekh ke. Maine bola hai fake hai par samajhte nahi hain" (My kids don't like my films because I have to cry in them, and they don't like seeing their mother cry on screen. Nysa and Yug get quite shaken up when they see me crying. I've told them it's fake, but they don't understand).
For the unversed, Rasha made her Bollywood debut alongside Ajay Devgn's nephew Aaman Devgan in the film Azad, which also featured Ajay himself. Though the film failed to make a mark at the box office, Rasha's dance to the song Uyi Amma in the movie earned her recognition.
Kajol is awaiting the release of her upcoming film Maa. The mythological horror drama, directed by Vishal Furia, also stars Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, and Kherin Sharma. Set in the fictional village of Chandrapur, the story follows a mother and her daughter who visit the husband's hometown after his mysterious death, only to uncover a demonic curse that threatens their lives. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on 27 June.

Kajol's haunted remark on Ramoji Film City sparks debate
Bollywood actress Kajol has stirred conversation online with her recent comments about Ramoji Film City, one of India's most iconic film studios located in Hyderabad. During a promotional interview for her upcoming movie MAA, Kajol shared that she has always felt a strange unease while filming at the location, describing the studio complex as having 'haunted vibes.' She elaborated that certain spots within the premises felt so unsettling that she wanted to leave immediately and never return. Without citing specific incidents, Kajol went on to call Ramoji Film City 'one of the most haunted places in the world.' Her remarks have since gone viral, prompting widespread discussion on social media. Reactions to the statement have been mixed. Some netizens supported her personal experience, while others criticized the actress for publicly labeling a major production site in such a way. Critics argued that such comments might tarnish the reputation of a location deeply embedded in Indian cinema's history. Supporters, however, pointed out that Kajol merely expressed a personal feeling, which shouldn't be taken as a factual claim. Kajol has shot several films at Ramoji Film City over her career. The studio is a favorite among Bollywood and South Indian filmmakers alike, and her husband Ajay Devgn continues to be associated with projects filmed there, including his notable appearance in the Telugu blockbuster RRR. While Kajol has not acted in a Telugu film so far, her influence in Bollywood remains strong. As for her eerie claim, whether she chooses to clarify it further remains uncertain. Still, the episode highlights the complex intersection between celebrity opinions and public perception, especially when it involves industry landmarks.

Kajol: Ajay and I have tried our best to protect our children (Exclusive)
Actress Kajol isn't nervous about the release of her next, as much as she was while shooting for it. 'It was nerve wracking to actually shoot it, because it's a genre that is not one of my favorites. I'm braver off screen than I am while watching a movie,' she tells Mumbai Mirror. The actress plays a mother in her next a horror flick– Maa . Ask her if she drew inspiration from her real life experience while playing a mother on screen, and she replies, 'It happens inadvertently. I've been playing a mother for the last 22 years, day in and day out. It's not something that you can turn off. All mothers have this superpower within them that when they become mothers, there is this amazing thing that comes over you – whether you call it obsession, or whatever you may call it, otherworldly power within you. Mothers are super protective of their children and always have been. They're called mama bears because you've seen a mama and she's one real dangerous thing in action. We've pretty much taken that basic instinct and worked through it and made a film over it.' For Kajol the Mama Bear side of hers has come out often. 'It comes out. Of course we have tried, both Ajay and I, have tried our best to protect our children as much as we can. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo But I also think that you can't protect them too much because life is life, the world is the world, and they have to learn how to deal with everything. And we may or may not always be there, to back them up, hold their hands or stand behind them,' she adds. Kajol teams up with Vishal Furia , for the movie. Ask her how she manages the power dynamics on the set, and she replies, 'Tomorrow, if I really want to do something, nobody's going to stop me if I really believe and I'm convinced that this is the right thing for me to do. Nobody is really going to turn around and tell me that, listen, no, we can't. As an actor, I do believe that the director is the captain of the ship.'
