Durga Puja celebrations became extra special for Kajol as she arrived with her mother, veteran actress Tanuja Mukherjee, and sister Tanishaa Mukerji at the inauguration of Mumbai’s 80th North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja on October 15, 2026. Dressed in traditional sarees and surrounded by the festive spirit, the family came together to unveil the grand idol of Goddess Durga. From warm family moments to Kajol’s radiant ethnic look, the celebrations offered plenty of reasons to smile. And, as always, the actress proved that when it comes to Durga Puja, family and tradition are every bit as important as the festivities themselves.
Kajol stole the spotlight in a striking sindoori red saree that perfectly captured the spirit of the occasion. The rich colour, traditional styling and festive elegance made her look a standout at the pandal. Her mother, 83-year-old Tanuja, looked graceful in her own traditional ensemble, while Tanishaa complemented the family’s festive mood with an elegant saree. Together, the three generations created a picture-perfect moment that celebrated both their close bond and their connection to one of Mumbai’s most cherished cultural traditions. Honestly, few things match the timeless charm of a family showing up in their festive best!
But it was the candid interactions between Kajol and Tanuja that truly stole hearts. Videos from the event captured a playful moment in which Kajol affectionately called out, “Mumma, come,” as she guided her mother through the crowd of photographers. The simple exchange offered a sweet glimpse into their mother-daughter relationship, reminding fans that even Bollywood stars have those familiar family moments where a little guidance from the daughter comes in handy. Their easy rapport and affectionate gestures added a personal touch to the grand celebrations, making the occasion feel even more special.
The festivities also turned into a family reunion, with Kajol’s son, Yug Devgn, joining the celebrations alongside filmmaker Ayan Mukerji and actress Sharbani Mukherji, her cousins. With several members of the Mukherjee-Samarth family coming together under one roof, the gathering reflected the long-standing family connection to the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja. Between the rituals, festive outfits and cheerful interactions, the occasion offered a lovely blend of Bollywood glamour and genuine family warmth. It was a reminder that festivals often become most memorable when everyone comes together to celebrate.
The North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja holds a special place in Mumbai’s festive calendar and is among the city’s most prominent Durga Puja celebrations. Organised by the Mukherjee-Samarth family for decades, the pandal brings together devotees, celebrities and visitors to celebrate Goddess Durga with devotion and enthusiasm. The inauguration of its 80th edition marked another important moment in the festival’s long history, with the unveiling of the idol setting the tone for the days of celebration ahead. For Kajol and her family, the event is also a cherished opportunity to honour their cultural traditions and spend time together.
With her vibrant red saree, playful moments with Tanuja and a gathering of loved ones, Kajol made the inauguration a heartwarming celebration of family, faith and festive fashion. Tanishaa and the rest of the family added to the cheerful atmosphere, turning the occasion into more than just a celebrity appearance. As Durga Puja celebrations begin across Mumbai, the Mukherjee-Samarth family’s gathering captures the true spirit of the festival: devotion to Maa Durga, respect for tradition and the joy of being surrounded by loved ones. And if these candid moments are anything to go by, the family is already embracing the festive season with plenty of warmth and happiness.
