Mukerji family Durga Puja

This year’s Durga Puja was emotionally significant for the Mukerji family as they remembered Ayan Mukerji's father, Deb Mukherjee, who passed away in March 2025. It was Deb Mukherjee who used to organise the Durga Puja pandal annually.

On Saturday, cousins Kajol and Rani Mukerji came together to kick-start the Durga Puja festivities as a part of their family's annual tradition.

Kajol, Rani, and Tanisha appeared joyful and excited as they unveiled the first look of the pandal's Maa Durga idol with the Durga Devi Strotram, Aigiri Nandini, playing in the background.

Once the idol was fully visible, the sisters joined their hands in prayer and bowed, visibly moved and lost in devotion.

Kajol later shared a post on Instagram saying, “The unveiling .. such an emotional moment .. to step on the pandal after this past year and all our losses, somehow it was dearer and at the same time so tough to do.. we miss them all.”

On Day 2 of Durga Puja, Kajol was captured attending the festivities at with her kids, Nysa and Yug Devgn. A video showed Kajol tearfully participating in the rituals. However, in a heartwarming moment captured on video, Yug and Nysa can be seen cheering up their mother with inside jokes, hugs and kisses.
