Actress Surjasikha Das shared that she was initially scared to talk to Kajol while working on the sets of “Maa.”

The young actress admitted feeling nervous around the senior star during the early days of the shoot but eventually grew more comfortable as they spent time together. Speaking about her experience of working with Kajol in the horror drama Maa, Surjasikha revealed that Kajol’s strong screen presence and seniority made her hesitant to approach her at first, but over time, the two built a comfortable rapport on set.

“Initially, I was a little overwhelmed. I still remember the first film I ever watched in a theatre—sitting on my mom’s lap—it was a Kajol ma’am film. I didn’t really understand films back then, but I just fell in love with her. She has been one of my favorite actors ever since. So, getting the opportunity to work opposite her, exchanging cues, and doing proper scenes together felt absolutely surreal.”
