Kajol, Ajay Devgn share glimpse from daughter Nysa's graduation ceremony, she attends wearing a saree: ‘So proud, wholly emotional'
Kajol and Ajay Devgn have several reasons to be proud of. On the professional front, their mythological horror film Maa, which released in cinemas last month, earned over Rs 36 crore at the domestic box office. On the personal front, their daughter Nysa Devgan has graduated from Glion Institute of Higher Education in Switzerland. On Tuesday, Kajol and Ajay shared a joint social media post in which they showed glimpses of the graduation ceremony from Switzerland. The video contained a balcony view from their hotel, Nysa's portrait with a graduation hat, and a family picture of the parents, Nysa, and her younger brother, Yug Devgan, all decked up for the graduation ceremony. The caption of the social media post stated: 'Such a special occasion .. so proud (smile with tear emoji)… and wholly emotional.' They also added the hashtags — 'Graduation,' 'First baby,' and 'She's an adult.' While the couple didn't share videos from inside the graduation ceremony, several others from the occasion surfaced on social media. Such a special occasion .. so proud 🥲… and wholly emotional.#graduation #firstbaby #shesanadult — Kajol (@itsKajolD) July 29, 2025 In a video gone viral, as Nysa's name is announced and she goes up on the stage to receive her degree, one can hear Kajol screaming, 'Proud of you, baby' despite the roaring applause and noise in the auditorium. Her enthusiastic reaction reminded many fans of her zealous character Anjali from Karan Johar's 2001 blockbuster family drama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. In an interview with SCREEN, Kajol admitted she's like that mom from K3G who'd whistle and hoot whenever her child is on the stage. In the film, despite her husband, Shah Rukh Khan's Rahul, warning her not to create a scene at the annual event of the London school, Kajol's Anjali couldn't help but rush to the stage in order to finish her son Krish's rendition of the Indian National Anthem. 'Trust me, it really embarrasses my kids. They have much more severe reactions than that poor child ever did,' Kajol said, adding, 'Whenever I'm at any of Yug's musicals or any of Nysa's stage performances, and she's standing with 15 other girls, and I'm just clapping, she'd be like (shooing her away) (laughs). So, it's happened lots of times.' At the trailer launch of Maa, when pr0ducer Ajay Devgn was asked why he didn't consider casting Nysa as Kajol's daughter in the film, he replied, 'Right now, she's not interested in any of this.' Meanwhile, Yug has made his voice acting debut by lending the voice to lead character Li Fong in the Hindi dubbed version of Jonathan Entwistle's Hollywood martial arts film Karate Kid: Legends. Ajay has lent the Hindi voice to Li's mentor, Mr. Han, played by Jackie Chan.

Meanwhile, Kajol was seen in Kayoze Irani's patriotic drama Sarzameen, which dropped on JioHotstar last week.

2025 has been an exciting year for star kids, with many following in the footsteps of their celebrity relatives straight into Bollywood. One bundle of talent who began his journey as an actor was Ajay Devgn and Kajol's nephew Aaman Devgan. He made his debut with Azaad alongside Raveena Tandon's daughter Rasha Thadani and Ajay. With Aaman's debut, the next big question on the internet was: when will his cousin Nysa Devgan, daughter of Kajol and Ajay, glide into Bollywood. Well, Kajol has already clarified that Nysa has no interest in films. Currently, the family is celebrating an academic milestone in Nysa's life — graduation. Ajay Devgn, Yug Devgan, Nysa Devgan and Kajol This week, Nysa Devgan graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in International Hospitality from Glion Institute of Higher Education in Switzerland. Proud parents Ajay Devgn and Kajol, along with their son Yug Devgan, flew down to Switzerland to celebrate Nysa's big day. We already witnessed Kajol channel her inner Anjali from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) as she cheered for her daughter in a viral video. Today, the star couple took to social media to share unseen behind the scene glimpses from Nysa's graduation. For her special day, like her mother Kajol, Nysa opted to drape herself in 6 yards of elegance. Ajay looked dapper in a pastel blue blazer and pristine white pants whereas Kajol was elegance personified in a navy blue saree with a multicolour pallu. Yug looked smart in a tan suit. Meanwhile, the star of the show, Nysa was a true blue desi girl in a light lilac saree with her long wavy hair left open. In one adorable snap, Kajol is flashing her smile at the camera, sitting on a couch, while her mini-me Nysa is seated behind her on the arm of the sofa, smiling ear to ear. It was clearly a happy day for the Devgans! We wish Nysa all the best for her future endeavours.

She's wonderful, snarky, has a great sense of humour, and a very different perspective on life and the world.' Workwise, Kajol's latest film Sarzameen released on JioHotstar on July 25.

Manish Malhotra broke from the fashion week script, and it worked
The anticipation was high, the rumours were rife and even as the curtains were being pulled down to the city's one-of-a-kind couture party, nobody really knew what they could expect from Manish Malhotra's this year's edition of Hyundai India Couture Week 2025. Was it the couture party of dreams (as was being predicted)? Well, that needs some course, it wasn't the conventional showcase as is the ritual for most designers, as Malhotra eschewed the traditional runway format and hosted an exclusive couture party at the Taj Palace in New Delhi on July 26. It was a sophisticated, cocktail-themed event that merged fashion, nostalgia, and spectacle in equal measure.A party, not a presentationadvertisementLet's call it a party to remember because that's what it was, but not without its share of work (and not just play). It was a curated experience with guests handpicked from Bollywood, fashion, and media circles. It moved through an immersive evening where cocktails, live music, and haute cuisine set the tone. The atmosphere blurred the line between couture and celebration, inviting attendees to engage with the garments as part of a cultural event rather than a standard showcase. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cosmopolitan India (@cosmoindia)Bollywood archive, reimaginedThe evening opened with a striking visual tribute to Manish Malhotra's legacy in Bollywood fashion, showcasing some of his most iconic display were Kajol's green lehenga from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kareena Kapoor Khan's peach sharara from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Priyanka Chopra's sequined saree from Dostana, Rekha's custom ensemble for Vogue, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's Banarasi saree from Cannes was a rare moment of self-archiving in Indian couture, a nod to Malhotra's enduring influence across decades of film and 2025: Glamour in motionMalhotra's latest collection was unveiled in dramatic fashion: white curtains dropped to reveal a lineup of models in intricately embellished sarees, sculpted gowns, and signature statement men's looks featured velvet sherwanis, bandhgalas, and structured jackets, rendered in burgundy, black, and muted peach, with detailed embroidery, metallic accents, and zari work that balanced old-world richness with modern tailoring. Some timeless jewellery from the designer coffer was up for show as well which included the 18K gold earrings worn by Rekha, and a bold choker set styled on Ambrosio walked as the showstopperWhile anticipation around Manish Malhotra's one-of-a-kind couture party was gripping not just the capital but the whole of the fashion industry, one element from the show which led many into guessing was who could be the showstopper, and many international names started popping up. Not sure how many got it right, but international supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio closed the show for Manish Malhotra. International supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio closed the show for Manish Malhotra. (Photo: Instagram) She was on the runway twice showcasing a silver saree with a plunging blouse, mermaid-style skirt, and draped dupatta first. This was followed by a pearl-embellished lehenga styled with a silver blouse and ruby-diamond choker and maang tika. Couture party, a first?While Manish Malhotra's 'couture party' at India Couture Week 2025 is being hailed as a first-of-its-kind event in India, the concept of merging high fashion with an immersive, party-style format is not entirely new, especially on the international global fashion capitals like Paris and Milan, exclusive cocktail presentations, gala nights, and luxury fashion soirees have long blurred the line between runway and social event. Events such as Couture Fashion Night in Switzerland and other international couture galas have previously adopted similar elements: curated guest lists, live music, fine dining, and fashion showcased outside the traditional runway what makes Malhotra's approach distinctive is that he brought this format to India's official couture calendar.- EndsMust Watch
