This year, Kajol and Rani will host a Durga Puja pandal near SNDT Women's University in Juhu. The actresses, also known as North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja pandal, host magnificent celebrations to welcome Maa Durga. Last year, during the festivities, the Dilwale actress was photographed seeking the Goddess' grace at the Durga Puja pandal alongside her son Yug. They were spotted serving devotees at the prasaad and engaging with the crowd.

Celebs at Durga Puja pandal

Besides Jaya Bachchan, several more stars visit the pandal every year. Some of the regulars at the pandal are Sumona Chakravarti, Ishita Dutta, Vatsal Seth, Tanisha Mukerji, and Sharvari.

Meanwhile, Jaya Bachchan's most recent film was Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. This year, the actress has focused on her political career. Earlier this year, she made headlines when she refused to be referred to as 'Jaya Amitabh Bachchan' in the Rajya Sabha, even though the name was on her candidate form.
