The actor shared her experience of shooting in Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad in an interview and called it a haunted place. Her statement did not sit well with many on social media. After the backlash, Kajol addressed her statements through a new post on her X account, now calling Ramoji Film City a ‘great destination.’ (Also read: Kajol says Ramoji Film City is ‘prime example’ of haunted place; Hyderabadis says ‘matlab kuch bhi’)
Kajol's statement
In the new statement, Kajol said, "I wish to address my earlier remark about Ramoji Film City in the context of promoting my film MAA. I have filmed multiple projects at Ramoji Film City and stayed there many times over the years. I have always found it to be a very professional environment for filmmaking and I have seen so many tourists enjoying themselves. It’s a great destination and absolutely safe for families and children."
What Kajol had said earlier
It all started when, in an interview with Galatta India, Kajol was asked if she had ever experienced negative energies. She replied, “I have experienced this multiple times. Call it negative energy or vibes, but sometimes, when you go to a place, you feel like something isn’t right. I’ve shot at places where I couldn’t sleep all night, where I felt it would be good if I could just leave this place. There are quite a few places like that. A prime example is Ramoji Rao Studios in Hyderabad, which is considered one of the most haunted places in the world. I am lucky enough not to have seen anything (ghosts), though.”
