Kajol Narrowly Escapes Fall at Bhamla Foundation ‘Empower to Educate’ Event

New Delhi, December 18, 2025: Bollywood icon Kajol gave fans and paparazzi a brief scare on Monday, December 15, 2025, after nearly losing her balance while arriving at the Bhamla Foundation’s “Empower to Educate – Supergirls of Tomorrow” initiative in Bandra.

The actress, known for her vibrant personality and quick wit, was entering the venue to support a cause close to her heart when she momentarily slipped. Fortunately, her quick reflexes—and the immediate assistance of those nearby—prevented what could have been a nasty tumble. Ever the professional, Kajol laughed off the minor stumble with her trademark grace and proceeded into the event to continue her philanthropic work.

A Star-Studded Cause for Education

The event, organized by Asif Bhamla and Saher Bhamla, was a high-profile gathering dedicated to uplifting young girls through education. Kajol was joined by her cousin and fellow screen legend Rani Mukerji. The two icons, who rarely make public appearances together, teamed up to support the foundation’s mission of awarding nearly 500 scholarships to students from BMC schools.

The scholarship program specifically prioritizes:

• Young girls from underprivileged backgrounds.
• Specially-abled and differently-abled children, ensuring they have the tools for sustained academic success.
• Mentorship opportunities to help guide the “Supergirls of Tomorrow.”

Beyond Symbolism: A Long-Term Commitment

During the event, the speakers emphasized that empowerment is more than just a buzzword. For Kajol and Rani, the focus was on the transformative power of the classroom.

“Education remains the most powerful tool for lasting social change,” the foundation noted in a statement. “When girls are educated, futures are transformed, and the entire nation moves forward.”

The Bhamla Foundation, widely recognized for its environmental work like the #EkPedMaaKeNaam tree plantation campaign and Mumbai beach clean-ups, has now extended its “action-driven” legacy to the educational sector with this holiday-season initiative.

Notable Guests and Highlights

The afternoon was a blend of serious advocacy and festive celebration. Several prominent figures were in attendance to show their support:

• Amruta Fadnavis, who joined the actresses in highlighting the importance of girl-child education.
• Adv. Ashish Shelar and BMC Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani.
• Musical Performances: Singer Kanika Kapoor enthralled the audience with her hits, adding a celebratory note to the scholarship distribution.
• Interactive Sessions: Popular host RJ Malishka kept the energy high, engaging with the students and guests throughout the program.

Despite the early “near-miss” at the entrance, the day was a resounding success. Kajol’s presence served as a reminder that even a small slip can’t stop a momentum built on a meaningful cause. As the event concluded, the focus remained firmly on the 500 young girls who left with more than just a scholarship—they left with the promise of a brighter future.
