Arriving at the heart of the pandal, Ajay and Yug were seen donning matching blue kurtas, a sight that was both heartwarming and stylish. Joining them was Ajay’s wife, actress Kajol, a regular attendee of the Durga Puja celebrations. This year, she was seen adorned in an indigo and pink saree, further enhancing the vibrant spirit of the occasion.
The gathering at the pandal was nothing short of a star-studded affair. Ajay, best known for his roles in high-octane films like ‘Singham’ and ‘Tanhaji,’ shared a candid moment with Kajol and Yug, which was quickly captured by the paparazzi. In a particularly charming video making rounds on social media, young Yug is seen planting a kiss on his mother’s cheek, a moment that radiated warmth and affection.
However, it wasn’t just the public display of affection from Yug that caught the attention of onlookers. Another light-hearted clip showed Kajol playfully pinching Ajay’s arms while they posed for photographers. Ajay responded with a knowing smile and promptly slipped his arm around Kajol, demonstrating their enduring chemistry. His other arm found a resting place on his son’s shoulder, making for a picture-perfect family portrait.
Kajol’s presence at the Durga Puja festivities is a tradition she shares with her cousin and fellow actress, Rani Mukerji.
. Known to be deeply rooted in their cultural practices, the duo celebrates the festival with unparalleled enthusiasm every year. Not one to miss the celebrations, Kajol’s younger sister Tanishaa also partakes in these vibrant rituals, adding to the familial atmosphere.
