Kajol Refuses to Speak Hindi at Event, Faces Backlash from Netizens

Kajol recently sparked controversy when she refused to speak in Hindi during an event in Mumbai. The actress was addressing the media in Marathi when a paparazzo requested her to speak in Hindi. This request visibly annoyed Kajol, who responded angrily, saying, ‘Should I say it in Hindi now? Whoever wants to understand, will understand!’ The incident quickly went viral on social media, with many netizens expressing disappointment at Kajol’s response. Several users criticized her comment, suggesting that if she felt uncomfortable speaking Hindi, she should stop working in Bollywood. The controversy is further amplified by ongoing debates about language in Maharashtra, where some believe that locals should prioritize speaking Marathi. This situation has gained attention after the Maharashtra government attempted to make Hindi a compulsory third language in schools earlier this year. Actress Renuka Shahane also weighed in on the matter, emphasizing the importance of respecting local languages and cultures. Kajol’s comments have raised questions about her views on Hindi, despite her active involvement in Bollywood films.
