Kajol gets angry after she is asked to speak in Hindi. Internet asks, 'Why is she working in Bollywood?'

At the recent Maharashtra State Film Awards, Bollywood actress Kajol made headlines, not for her award, but for her choice of language during her acceptance speech. Honoured with the prestigious Raj Kapoor Award for her great contribution to Indian cinema, Kajol delivered her speech in Marathi and English. However, when someone requested her to repeat the speech in Hindi, Kajol politely refused. The video went viral, and it sparked a wave of reactions across social media platforms.

Kajol refuses to speak in Hindi

During her speech, Kajol expressed how special the moment was for her, mentioning her happiness that her mother, who had also received the same award earlier, was present with her. She said in Marathi, "I have received this award today… it’s a very, very big day for me. I’m very happy my mother is here with me.”


However, in ANI video, when asked to repeat her speech in Hindi, she replied, “Should I speak in Hindi now? Whoever wants to understand, will understand."

This response caused a stir online. Many fans and netizens expressed disappointment and confusion over Kajol’s refusal to speak in Hindi, especially since she is a well-known face in the Hindi film industry. Comments poured in questioning her decision, with some users asking why she continues to work in Hindi films if she is "uncomfortable" speaking the language publicly.

Several social media users suggested that if Kajol prefers Marathi, she should focus her career on Marathi cinema instead. Others pointed out the irony that Hindi cinema gave Kajol her fame and recognition and wondered why she seemed to show bias against the Hindi language.

The incident has opened up a larger debate about language preferences and cultural respect within the Indian film industry and among fans.
