Kajol Reacts To Backlash For Ramoji Film City 'Haunted' Remark: "It Is Absolutely Safe For Families And Children"
New Delhi:
During the promotions of her upcoming film Maa, Kajol was asked about whether she has ever experienced negative energies in her surroundings. The actress received severe backlash after she said that Ramoji Rao Studios in Hyderabad is one of the prime places, which is considered to be one of the most haunted places in the world.
Fans reacted that she was simply trying to promote her upcoming horror-mythological film. Kajol took to social media last evening to address the ongoing backlash and stated that the Ramoji Rao Studios is "absolutely safe for families and children".
What's Happening

She told Galatta India, "There are quite a few places like that. A prime example is Ramoji Rao Studios in Hyderabad, which is considered one of the most haunted places in the world. I am lucky enough not to have seen anything (ghosts), though."

It's a great destination and absolutely safe for families and children."
