Netizens react
One stood by Kajol and said, 'Good.'
A second wrote- 'no objection to Marathi language but such statement is sad towards national language, such people forget that makes them successful nation not selected people, because of whom it gives such statements.'
A third commented- 'They should say then what to do with their pictures in Marathi, stop doing Hindi pictures. Now they should do pictures in Marathi, stop doing Hindi pictures.'
Another user stood by the actress and wrote- 'Hindi and English Center have official working languages: not national language.'
'There is no national language mentioned in the Constitution of India,' read another comment.
When Kajol supported Deepika Padukone and her work-life balance
The actress recently said, 'I love the fact if you can work less. Even apart from being a mother and working for eight hours, usually people have started working for eight hours in a shift. Most of the industry does understand all this.'
Ajay Devgn then added (at the trailer launch of Maa), 'And apart from this being a mother and working for 8 hours, you should be able to start working for 8 to 9 hours shift. So I think it's person-to-person, but most of the industry does understand nowadays.'
Kajol says maintaining work-life balance has always been a priority since she started acting in the 1990s and the journey became easier with the support of her family as well as the producers.
'I was one of the few people who worked on one film at a time; I didn't do 4 films at the same time (like other actors). I used to finish one film, then start another. I didn't work for 20 or 30 hours. I was always very clear that we would work a certain amount only, and my mom also backed me up big time on it,' the 50-year-old actor told PTI in an interview.
