Kajol Shares Rare Photo of Parents on Father’s Day

The brief caption tied a private family memory to the Mukherjee family's film legacy.

Overview

  • Kajol posted a previously unseen black-and-white photo of her parents, Tanuja and the late filmmaker Shomu Mukherjee, on social media on Sunday.
  • Her caption read, "Looking at old pictures and realizing how much of you is still alive in my laugh. Miss you every single day," a line widely quoted by news outlets.
  • Fans reacted with heart emojis and warm comments, praising the image and noting Kajol’s resemblance to both parents.
  • Shomu Mukherjee, who directed and produced multiple Hindi films, met Tanuja while making Ek Baar Muskura Do, married her in 1973, and died of a heart attack in April 2008 at age 64.
  • The post renewed public attention to the Mukherjee family as Kajol continues her screen work, most recently in Sarzameen and next in the yet-to-be dated Maharagni: Queen of Queens.
