The clip of the exchange quickly spread across social media platforms, with netizens divided in their reactions.
The Public Reaction:
A significant portion of the internet criticized Kajol's response, calling it "rude," "arrogant," and a sign of disrespect towards the Hindi language, which has been the foundation of her career. Many social media users questioned why she would refuse to speak in Hindi when her livelihood is based on Hindi cinema. Comments included, "If she feels uncomfortable and ashamed to speak in the Hindi language then she should stop working in Bollywood Hindi Movies," and "Why they forget that it's Indian cinema and Hindi films that gave her stardom."
On the other hand, a large number of people came to Kajol's defense. Supporters argued that since it was the Maharashtra State Film Awards, it was entirely appropriate for her to speak in Marathi. They also pointed out that she should not be forced to speak a particular language, especially when she was speaking at a state-level event. One user commented, "She's a Marathiyan. She spoke Marathi at a Marathi event, with Marathi media. And people are mad about it? Some of y'all just look for reasons to cry."
This incident has added fuel to the ongoing debate about Hindi imposition versus regional languages in India. While some see it as a celebrity's right to choose their language, others view it as a slight against a language that unites a vast part of the country.
So far, Kajol has not publicly addressed the controversy, though she did post a video from the awards on her social media, expressing gratitude for the honor.
During her interaction with the press, Kajol primarily spoke in Marathi and English, expressing her gratitude and joy at receiving the award. She noted that it was a particularly special occasion as her mother, veteran actress Tanuja, had also received the same honor years ago.
The situation escalated when a journalist requested that she repeat her comments in Hindi for a wider audience. Kajol, visibly annoyed by the request, responded sharply with the question, "Abhi main Hindi mein bolu?" (Now should I speak in Hindi?) She then added, "Jisko samajhna hai woh samajh lenge" (Those who want to understand, will understand).
