Shobhna Samarth

Actress Tanishaa Mukerji, on Tuesday, seems to have become nostalgic as she took a trip down memory lane and shared an archival photograph of her late aunt and legendary actress Nutan along with Jaya Bachchan.

Four generations of Samarth family have been a part of the film industry.

Tanishaa and Tanuja will be celebrating Lakshmi Puja at their residence today and joining them on the occasion will be Kajol and Ajay Devgn, his parents and the Mukerji family.

Kajol, in a recent statement, expressed her firm disregard for societal judgments and expectations. She credited her strong upbringing, particularly by her mother and the influential women in her family, who instilled in her the belief that one's life choices should not be influenced by the opinions of others. Kajol emphasized that her family's lineage of independent-minded women served as role models, teaching her the importance of taking responsibility for her own life and prioritizing her own happiness over societal pressures.

The film was a success, critically and commercially. But did you know that it was the second film based on extra-terrestrial creatures?

Cancer is all about victories of survivors and not the hopeless cases,” said actress Kajol, who was at JW Marriott Pune recently, to address a breast cancer symposium, along with mother Tanuja, Resul Pookutty and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

Filmmaker Vijay Bhatt, grandfather of Bollywood director Vikram Bhatt, crafted three films depicting the timeless epic of Lord Rama. Among them, the film 'Ram Rajya' holds a unique distinction as it was screened for Mahatma Gandhi. Bhatt's cinematic journey with the Ramayana saga began with 'Bharat Milap' in 1942, followed by 'Rambaan', and continued in 1954 with 'Ramayan'. He later remade the film in color, with Bina Rai instead of Shobhna Samarth as Sita.

Kajol's mother Tanuja is recovering well from her hospitalization for age-related ailments and is expected to be discharged soon. The popular veteran actor, known for her work in Hindi and Bengali films, including 'Baharen Phir Bhi Aayengi' and 'Mere Jeevan Sathi', is reportedly much better and will be released from the ICU in a day or two. Tanuja, who made her debut as a child artiste in 1950, is the mother of actors Kajol and Tanishaa Mukerji. She was last seen in the 2022 anthology 'Modern Love: Mumbai'.

Tanishaa Mukerji shared in a recent interview that she missed her mother, Tanuja, during her childhood due to her busy work schedule after separating from Shomu Mukherjee. She believes that mothers should take a break from work to be with their children in the early years.

Tanuja who is known for a number of films like Baharein Phir Bhi Ayengi', 'Jewel Thief' among others has been admitted to a hospital in Juhu due to age-related issues..

Ram Rajya was the only movie seen by Mahatma Gandhi, it was directed by Vikram Bhatt's father Vijay Bhatt. In those days mythological films had a huge draw at the box office.

Nutan Behl (better known as Nutan) was a legendary actress who gave several blockbusters in a career over four decades.

Kajol, who has delivered some iconic films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Gupt, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, recently opened up about taking long breaks in her career and how, despite coming from a renowned film family, she has carved out her legacy through her own work.

Kajol, the Bollywood icon, has dismissed long-standing rumors about being offered the role of Sakina in 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha'. Speaking at a summit, she clarified that while many films came her way, 'Gadar' wasn't one of them. Kajol also addressed her choice to use only her first name, aiming to avoid comparisons to her family's cinematic legacy.
