While discussing supernatural themes explored in Maa, a film about demonic forces and negative energy, Kajol shared her personal experiences:

“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,” Kajol said.

She further added,

“A prime example is Ramoji Rao Studios in Hyderabad, which is considered one of the most haunted places in the world.”

She did clarify that she had never seen a ghost but admitted feeling uneasy at certain locations.
