Kajol kicks off Durga Puja celebrations with mother, sister

New Delhi: Kickstarting the Durga Puja celebrations on Friday, actor Kajol along with mother Tanuja and sister Tanisha Mukerji, stepped out in style to offer prayers at a Durga Puja pandal.
Marking the first day -Shashti, of the festivities, the ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ actor went for an enchanting red ethnic ensemble flaunting a beautifully embroidered Kurta with a matching dupatta.
Describing her belief in the goddess, Kajol said: “The family in which I am married, they are all staunch believers in Durga. And this Navratri season, as it is called, we celebrate it to the fullest.” To her father’s comment that she serves bhog on the eight-day – Ashtami, the actor added, “Our whole family gathers on Ashtami to pray together. But I believe that every day is Durga’s and we celebrate each day with full fervour.” Meanwhile, her sister draped a simple Pink Saree tied her hair in a simple bun to complete the look. The traditional Bengali sari seemed to hold importance for the actor as she told, “This saree was presented to me by my gorgeous mother on last to last Durga Puja and is a traditional Bengali Saree.” Family get-togethers are one thing that Tanisha believes is the soul of festivals.
