Kajol clarifies her ‘beef lunch’ video

In her clarification that came in the dead of night, Kajol said, “A video of me at a friend’s lunch said that there was a beef dish at the table. That’s a miscommunication. What was shown was buffalo meat, that is a legally available meat. I’m issuing this clarification because this is a sensitive matter that may hurt religious sentiments, which is not my intention.” 

The video shows the chef of the restaurant she was lunching at explaining that the dish he had served her was made of beef. He can be seen saying, “That’s the beef with water, dry lentil and dry beef.” 

She also removed the video from her Facebook page but it had gone viral by then. Some wondered whether she would have escaped unscathed had she not been from a privileged background. It is worth noting that Kajol’s husband, actor Ajay Devgn, had campaigned for the BJP.
