Kajol Reveals The Moment She Realised How Much Her Mother Loved Her
Known for her unfiltered thoughts and genuine charm, Kajol has always been unafraid to speak her mind. Whether discussing her personal life or professional commitments, the actress's honesty has endeared her to fans.
In a recent interview, Kajol shared the moment she realised how much her mother Tanuja loved her and what it meant to him.
She expressed gratitude for her supportive parents, highlighting the significant role they've played in her life.
In an interview with SCREEN, Kajol said, 'I don't think I even realised how much my mother loved me till I had my own child. My daughter was maybe 6 months old, and I brought her to my mom. I cried and said, 'omg, I never realised how much you loved me. Thank you for loving me so much. I never imagined how much you did for me," she said.
The actress went on to say, 'I always knew I had a great upbringing, and I always knew I had a great mother. I was privileged, and I had fabulous parents, but I never realised how loved I was till I had children of my own."
In another conversation with India Today, Kajol also shared her experience of working alongside her mother, Tanuja, revealing the nerves she felt while filming their scenes together.
Kajol opened up about facing her toughest co-actor to date. 'The most challenging co-actor I had to stand in front of, and I literally shivered in front of — was actually my mother," Kajol shared.
She recalled their scenes together in Toonpur Ka Superrhero. 'For the only time in my life, I genuinely felt nervous. I'm not normally a nervous person when it comes to work. I know exactly what I'm doing. I know how to go about it. I know how to concentrate on myself," she added.
Working with her mother, Tanuja left Kajol feeling disoriented, and she aptly described the experience as surreal, standing in front of her mother and the camera.
On the work front, Kajol's latest film, Maa, directed by Vishal Furia and starring alongside Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, and Kherin Sharma, hit theatres on June 27. Now, she's gearing up for her next release, Sarzameen, which boasts an exciting ensemble cast including Prithviraj Sukumaran and Ibrahim Ali Khan, and is set to premiere on July 25.

"Can't Continue The Way I Used To": Popular Food Vlogger Steps Away From Long-Form YouTube Videos
Firoz Chuttipara, the face behind Kerala's popular Village Food Channel, has said that he will no longer be making long-format YouTube videos that first brought him fame. Known for his massive cooking projects, like preparing hundreds of kilos of biryani or seafood pickle, Chuttipara's unique blend of tradition, scale and social impact earned him a huge following among food lovers in India and beyond. The Palakkad native, who returned to Kerala after working abroad, turned to YouTube with a vision. It was to cook grand meals, often for underprivileged communities, and show the process from scratch. But in a recent YouTube Live session, Firoz shared that the economics of creating such large-scale content no longer add up. 'I can't continue with YouTube the way I used to,' he said, as quoted by News18. With audiences increasingly turning to shorter videos, like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, Firoz said that the shift in viewer behaviour has made long-form content financially unsustainable for creators like him. The limited earnings from short videos are not enough to offset the significant expenses involved in sourcing ingredients and handling large-scale production. Having said that, he clarified that while long videos will now be rare, short updates will continue to appear on his channel. View this post on Instagram A post shared by VILLAGE FOOD CHANNEL (@villagefoodchannel_official) Looking ahead, Firoz has decided to channel his energy into a new business venture with a friend. Although he has kept the details under wraps, he said that the venture will be based in the UAE and will require much of his time and attention going forward. Firoz's journey, from expatriate to one of Kerala's most recognised culinary YouTubers, has been remarkable. While fans may miss the epic cooking sessions that made him famous, many remain eager to see how his next chapter unfolds, whether in business or short-form food content.
