Kajol and Rani Mukerji Share Heartfelt Moments with Family During Durga Puja

Kajol and Rani’s Emotional Embrace

Although the atmosphere was festive, it was tinged with sadness as the family commemorated Deb Mukherjee, the father of filmmaker Ayan Mukerji, who passed away in March 2025. He was instrumental in organizing the family’s Durga Puja celebrations, making his absence profoundly felt.

A touching moment was captured where Kajol, Rani, Tanishaa, and Sharbani embraced each other with tears in their eyes. Kajol also shared a heartfelt hug with Ayan, underscoring the family’s close-knit bond during this emotional time.

Everyone in the family donned traditional attire for the occasion. Kajol wore a stunning silk saree with a red blouse, while Rani opted for a graceful white saree accented with a floral border in black and red. Ayan maintained a simple yet festive look in a classic white kurta-pajama.

Durga Puja, or Durgotsava, celebrates the victory of Goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura. According to Hindu beliefs, the goddess visits her earthly home during this time to bless her followers. This year’s festivities officially begin on September 28 and conclude on October 2.
