Bollywood star Kajol is spreading festive cheer as Mahalaya arrives. The actress, fresh off her role in the second season of the hit streaming series The Trial, shared a sweet Instagram video on Sunday to wish fans a happy Mahalaya.
In the black-and-white clip, Kajol rocks a elegant silk saree. She turns to face the camera with a smile, then playfully spins back around. Her caption reads: "Wishing everyone a very happy Mahalaya.. saree season is back." It’s a fun nod to the festive vibes kicking in.
Mahalaya signals the start of Devi Paksha and the exciting countdown to Durga Puja, one of India’s biggest celebrations, especially in Bengal. It falls seven days before Durga Puja and wraps up Pitru Paksha, the time when families honor their ancestors. People often head to riverbanks for tarpan rituals, offering prayers to forefathers. But Mahalaya means more than traditions—it’s a heartfelt mix of devotion, music, art, and community spirit. It builds anticipation for Goddess Durga’s arrival, symbolizing strength, balance, and protection as the divine mother.
Fans are loving Kajol’s performance in The Trial season 2, where she plays tough lawyer Noyonika Sengupta. The show, an Indian take on the U.S. hit The Good Wife, has racked up praise since its release.
Kajol has built an impressive three-decade career tackling complex roles, from dramatic thrillers to heartfelt dramas. During promotions for the new season, she told her secret to nailing characters: teaming up with a strong director and talented co-stars. "I think the trick to it is to find a good director on board, which I did have," she said. "To get great co-stars as well, again, which I did have in this show. And most importantly, it’s got to do with how you see your arc. A person is always a whole person with their flaws."
Produced by CBS Studios, Scott Free Productions, and King Size Productions, with format rights from Paramount Global Content Distribution, The Trial – Pyaar Kaanoon Dhokha keeps viewers hooked with its blend of courtroom drama, romance, and betrayal. As Durga Puja nears, Kajol’s post reminds us why these festivals bring everyone together.
