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.

Ahaan Panday Mimics Ranbir Kapoor In Viral Video; Fans Dub Him 'Bollywood's Next Superstar'
Before stepping into films, Ahaan Panday had gained popularity on Dubsmash, where he recreated famous Bollywood scenes. Ahaan Panday is enjoying a dream start in Bollywood with his debut film Saiyaara turning out to be a blockbuster. The Mohit Suri directorial, co-starring Aneet Padda, has already smashed several box office records within days of its release. As the spotlight firmly rests on the industry's newest heartthrob, fans are drawing comparisons between Ahaan and Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor. Interestingly, this comparison isn't entirely new. Before stepping into films, Ahaan Panday had gained popularity on Dubsmash, where he recreated famous Bollywood scenes. Some of his most viral clips were inspired by Ranbir Kapoor's films. From mouthing the lyrics of Channa Mereya to dancing on Bachna Ae Haseeno and Dilliwaali Girlfriend, Ahaan seemed to be an unabashed Ranbir fan in those early videos. One clip even sees him performing the intense dialogue from Rockstar, and fans are now sharing these snippets on social media with the caption 'Ranbir 2.0". In fact, many netizens are convinced that Ahaan's screen presence and charm mirror a young Ranbir Kapoor. One user wrote, 'He's got the Ranbir vibe. Raw, emotional, effortless." Knew #AhaanPanday was destined for greatness when I found out he was a fan of #RanbirKapoor — RKᵃ (@seeuatthemovie) July 21, 2025 Another video that's gone viral again is Ahaan lip-syncing Shah Rukh Khan's iconic monologue from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. While some fans praised his performance, the clip had earlier been trolled when it surfaced two years ago on Reddit. However, the conversation around it has now shifted, with many admiring how far he has come from social media skits to big-screen success. In 2025, after three years of preparation and training under the Yash Raj Films banner, Ahaan finally made his acting debut. Saiyaara, produced by YRF and directed by Mohit Suri, has been met with immense love from the audience. The music, especially the title track, has contributed significantly to the film's appeal. As old videos of Ahaan flood social media once more, fans seem to agree on one thing, Bollywood has found its next big romantic hero. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Sydney Sweeney Unrecognisable As Boxer Christy Martin In First Look From Biopic ‘Christy'
Last Updated: Sydney Sweeney transforms into boxing legend Christy Martin for her upcoming biopic 'Christy', set to premiere at TIFF 2025. Sydney Sweeney is stepping into the ring—literally—for her most dramatic transformation yet. The Euphoria star is all set to portray legendary boxer Christy Martin in the upcoming biopic Christy, and the first official photo from the film is already creating waves. The image, released by Black Bear Pictures on July 21, shows Sweeney looking nearly unrecognisable with Christy Martin's signature dark curls, a muscular frame, and a boxer's fierce intensity. Wearing red gloves, long tassel shorts, a white tank top, and a mouthguard, Sweeney channels Martin's gritty energy in a boxing ring. The film is set to premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) this September. Sweeney, who is known for her long blonde locks and glamorous red carpet appearances, underwent a stunning physical transformation for the role. In a June 2025 interview with W Magazine, she revealed that she gained over 30 pounds and trained rigorously to match Martin's powerful physique. 'I started eating. I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour," she shared. 'My body was completely different. But it was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong." The biopic is directed by The King filmmaker David Michôd, who was reportedly stunned by Sweeney's commitment and transformation. Recalling a moment when he saw her again on the set of Euphoria season 3, he said, 'I was stunned by the change in her appearance. I had only seen her as an adorable, tough moppet with late-'80s hair, ready to box. Sydney was happiest when she was in the ring punching and being punched. It was shocking to see her being so glamorous." Sweeney first hinted at her role in Christy back in October 2024 by posting behind-the-scenes photos that showed off her bulked-up physique and ring training.
