In no time, the video went viral on social media with netizens expressing disappointment with Kajol's behaviour. Several users condemned the actress' comment and asked her to stop working in the Hindi film industry. It should be noted that Kajol's comment comes at a time when a new debate over language is brewing in Maharashtra – speak Marathi if you live in the state. It all started in April this year when the Maharashtra government passed a decision to make Hindi a compulsory third language in schools. While the decision was rolled back, several incidents have been reported where alleged MNS workers got into a heated argument with people in Mumbai and Pune who refused to speak Marathi. On the work front, Kajol is all set to reprise her powerful role as Noyonika Sengupta in the much-awaited second season of The Trial, and fans are super excited. The official announcement was made recently, confirming that the courtroom drama will return for a second innings, with Kajol leading the charge once again. The web series Trial is a legal drama adapted from the American series The Good Wife. Kajol plays Noyonika Sengupta, a housewife who returns to her law career after her husband is imprisoned due to corruption and a sex scandal. The US version of The Good Wife premiered in 2009 and ran for seven seasons. The drama focused on Alicia Florrick, a woman who must support her politician husband after he is implicated in a sexual misconduct scandal while resuming her legal practice. The makers haven't revealed the release date of Aamir Ali and Kajol starrer The Good Wife yet but dropped the first look last year.

Kajol is back in the courtroom, and she's bringing her signature sass with her. On Wednesday, the actor announced Season 2 of her hit legal drama The Trial in a quirky and self-aware skit that she shared on social media, leaving fans both excited and amused. Kajol is set to return with The Trial: Pyaar, Kanoon Aur Dhoka which is set to release on 19 September on JioHotstar. Kajol introduces season two of The Trial On Wednesday, Kajol took to her Instagram and shared an interesting video to introduce the show. The video opens with Kajol on a production set, asking casually, 'Haan batao, kya karna hai?' She begins her announcement with the classic, 'Hi, I'm Kajol and I'm happy to announce that I'm coming back…' But mid-sentence, she abruptly stops, visibly annoyed by the word 'comeback.' 'Comeback? Phir se? Hadd ho gayi yaar! Kitni baar comeback karungi main? Non-stop kaam karo, phir bhi I'm making a comeback? Gayi kahan thi main?' 'Aur ab tum log bologe, 'Kajol humpe chillaa rahi hai.' Haan, bas yehi do cheezen karti hoon main—chillana aur wapas aana! ("Comeback? Again? This is too much, yaar! How many times will I make a comeback? I keep working non-stop, yet I'm 'making a comeback'? Where did I even go? And now you all will say, 'Kajol is yelling at us.' Yes, that's all I ever do, right? Yell and come back!") Just then, a crew member interrupts her to point out that she's reading the wrong side of the cue card. Embarrassed but amused, Kajol flips it, lets out a sheepish smile, and starts over—this time calmly delivering the official announcement: 'Hi, I'm Kajol, and I'm happy to announce that I'm coming back with Season 2 of my show The Trial—Pyaar, Kanoon, Dhokha.' Fans instantly flooded the comment section with laughter emojis, memes, and love, praising her comic timing and unfiltered charm.
