Kajol took to her X (formerly Twitter) account to clarify her earlier remarks. “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,” she stated.

Kajol's remark about Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad

Kajol appeared in a conversation with Galatta India, where she was asked whether she had encountered negative energies in real life. She stated that she had experienced such incidents multiple times in her life, and one such instance occurred while she was shooting at Ramoji. The actress did not claim to have seen a ghost but said she felt sleepless the entire night as she was disturbed. “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,” she added.

Many tourists and locals found her statement offensive, accusing her of spreading false allegations about a prominent location in the city.
