Actors Kajol and Ananya Panday were among the many celebrities who graced the star-studded screening of 'Kesari Chapter 2' in Mumbai ahead of the film’s release on April 18. While the red carpet saw plenty of memorable moments, one particular exchange is making waves on social media. A visibly annoyed Kajol was caught on camera calling out the paparazzi for interrupting her mid-conversation with Ananya.
Kajol snaps at paparazzi at the screening of Kesari Chapter 2
As Kajol and Ananya Panday posed together on the red carpet, they paused to share a quick conversation. However, the moment was repeatedly interrupted by paparazzi calling out Kajol’s name, visibly disrupting their exchange.
Clearly irked by the constant shouting, Kajol turned to the photographers and said, “Calm down… calm down, guys.” Following the interruption, Ananya stepped away from the red carpet while Kajol stayed behind to pose for photos. The video capturing the brief but tense moment has since gone viral on social media.
Kajol made a striking appearance in a white and neon green tie-dye ensemble, elevated with detailed black embroidery, blending traditional elegance with a modern twist. Ananya Panday, on the other hand, turned heads in a purple saree, paired effortlessly with a heavily embellished halter-neck blouse. The two stars shared a warm and cheerful greeting as they crossed paths on the red carpet, creating a picture-perfect moment.
The screening of 'Kesari Chapter 2' turned into a glittering affair, drawing an impressive lineup of stars from across the industry. Akshay Kumar arrived with his wife, author Twinkle Khanna, while Ananya Panday was seen attending the event with her parents, Chunky and Bhavana Pandey. The evening also saw appearances by R Madhavan, Maheep Kapoor, Bhavana Panday, and veteran actress Urmila Matondkar were among the other notable attendees.
