Kajol’s mother Tanuja has been hospitalised in Juhu for age-related illness, under observation in the ICU. PTI quoted a source as saying, “She is under observation and is doing well. There’s nothing to worry about.” There is yet to be a statement released from her family. For the unversed, the veteran actress is the daughter of filmmaker Kumarsen Samarth and actress Shobhna Samarth. She has worked extensively in Hindi and Bengali cinema. Tanuja married filmmaker Shomu Mukherjee.
Tanuja started her acting career with Hamari Beti in 1950 as a child actor. Her first film was Hamari Yaad Aayegi in 1961. In Bengali cinema, she worked in films like Deva Neya, Anthony-Firingee, Teen Bhuvaner Parey and Rajkumari, among many other blockbusters.
Tanuja turned 80 in September. Kajol, Tanisha and Ajay all took to social media to wish her a happy birthday. Kajol wrote, “Happy eightieth birthday, mom. I can never thank you enough for everything you’ve taught me by example and still continue to do so today. I love you to bits and pieces…Eight decades of love, wisdom, and laughter! Happy Birthday to my incredible Mom!”
