Actor's insight
This is what she said about 'Maa'
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Kajol shared her experience of working on the film. She said, "I wasn't that unsettled by it, probably because I did it." "But everyone around me had the same reaction (makes disgusted face). They said, 'I can't see you like this.'" "But that's what horror is, and that's why it will be particularly effective."
