Kajol and Farah Khan fail to identify black cardamom, actors says she doesn't understand the logic behind ‘less salt': ‘Namakharam hai saarein'
Kajol may be one of the finest actresses of her time, but when it comes to cooking, she admits she's no expert. In the latest episode of Farah Khan's vlog, the Maa star stepped into the kitchen to try her hand at making Prawn Biryani, under the guidance of Farah and her cook, Dilip. What followed was a hilarious sequence of spice misidentifications and cooking confusion.
As they entered the kitchen, Farah decided to test Kajol's culinary knowledge. She began handing her spices and quizzing her. Holding up shahi jeera, Farah asked, 'What is this?' Kajol hesitated and guessed, 'Jeera?' Farah wasn't convinced. Kajol tried again, 'Ajwain?' Still not right. Farah gave a hint, 'Who is the hero you have done most of your films with?' Kajol quickly replied, 'Shah Rukh?' Farah laughed and revealed, 'It is Shahi Jeera!'
Next she showed the actor star anise. Farah asked, 'What is this called? Who are you?' Kajol, clueless, responded, 'I am the biggest fool!' Farah groaned, 'You are the biggest star, man! This is star anise!' Kajol burst into laughter as she said, 'Acha, I am a star!'

Then came the twist, when Farah herself got stumped. Holding up a spice, she looked confused. 'Yeh toh mujhe bhi nahi pata, kya hai yeh? (I too don't know this ingredient, what is this?)' Both turned to Dilip, who with a smile answered, 'Badi elaichi (black cardamom),' leaving them both in splits.
As they progressed, Kajol followed Dilip's instructions and added tomatoes. When Farah reminded Kajol to add salt, she enthusiastically said, 'Namak toh… I love namak!' A baffled Farah responded, 'I love namak? Everyone loves namak.' Kajol clarified, 'No, no, I really can't do without salt.' Still confused, Farah asked, 'Bhai, who can do without salt?'
Kajol explained, 'A lot of people say 'namak kam hona chahiye (we should eat less salt)'. They talk about the right andaz (measure), but I think that andaz is different for everyone.' Farah quipped, 'Namakharam hai woh saare!' This left them all in splits.
Meanwhile, in her interview with Mashable India, Kajol shared that her husband Ajay Devgn is an expert at cooking and very possessive about his recipes. 'He will never reveal his recipes and secret ingredients that he uses to cook them.'

MAA Ending Explained: Who is the real villain in Kajol's supernatural drama and does post-credit scene hint at Shaitaan 2?
Disclaimer: This article contains spoilers. MAA, starring Kajol in the lead, is now running in cinemas. The Vishal Furia-directed movie blends horror with mythology, exploring the ultimate battle between Goddess Kali and the demon Raktabeej. Although the climax of MAA follows the typical ending of triumph over evil, the way it is shot and presented makes it a chilling experience for the audience. Still, if you are confused about the climax and couldn't understand how the last act unfolded and whether it is connected to Shaitaan 2, then keep scrolling further. Maa movie ending explained: Who is the real villain? The climax of Maa shows Ambika (played by Kajol) trying to return to Kolkata from her village with her daughter Shweta, after a demon attempts to abduct her. However, she couldn't succeed as the evil forces attacked her and threw her out of the car, resulting in Shweta getting abducted. Furthermore, Ambika found herself in a hut belonging to an old woman, who was regarded as a witch with a 40-year-old history. The old woman further narrates a story to Ambika and tells her how she was ostracized. She also revealed the man behind all conspiracies and evil practices in the village and he is none other than Joy Dada (played by Ronit Roy). The old woman revealed that it was Joy who sacrificed the baby to the demon and then r*ped her. He was the one who influenced people to believe that the woman was a witch, as she was against sacrificing the girl child when she performed Kali Puja. Meanwhile, cops confront Joy Dada (demon), who admitted to murdering Shuvankar (Ambika's husband) and his own father to make sure Ambika and Shweta return to the village, so that he can fulfil his sinister intent of impregnating Shweta's womb. Joy Dada mentioned that he was confronted by the demon Raktabeej who had asked him to bring the next girl child of his family when she hits puberty so that he can put Raktabeej inside her. How does Ambika fight the demon? Did Shweta get impregnated? At her ancestral home, Ambika performs the Kali Puja and takes the blessings of the divine power to triumph over evil. She further heads towards the haunted forest only to be killed brutally by the demon. Thankfully, she is reborn with divine powers of Maa Kali and achieves a victory over evil by taking out his heart. Meanwhile, Ambika's daughter Shweta gets impregnated by the devil, which forces Ambika to sacrifice her own daughter for the sake of the people. When she was about to behead her daughter, all the souls of earlier sacrificed girl children appeared. Meanwhile, the old woman stops Ambika and reveals that the prophecies of Maa Kali were misinterpreted, and the Goddess has reversed the Demon's raktabeej from Shweta's womb. Does the post-credit scene of Maa hint at Shaitaan 2? In the post-credit scene, a man wearing a hoodie (played by R Madhavan) enters the haunted forest with the background song of Shaitaan. He then collects the ashes of the demon in one hand and turns himself into a demon. Hinting at Shaitaan 2, Madhavan's character Vanaraj says, 'Tum insaano ki sbse badi bewakoofi pta hai kya hai? Tumhe lagta hai tumne bure ko maar kar burai ko maar diya, mujhe maar diya. Lekin jab tak iss Brahmand me insan zinda rahega, tab tak uske andar ka Shaitaan zinda rahega.' Vanraj laughs and the credits start rolling.
