Kajol Steps Away From Beef Controversy, Says She Ate Buffalo Meat
A video posted by Kajol, where she announced her love for a beef dish, had gone viral and the actress was attacked by trolls. Now she has offered a clarification
Kajol has issued a
clarification after she was trolled for consuming beef at a friend’s
restaurant.
The actress posted
a video yesterday where she was served a dish made out of beef and she
gleefully ate it. Soon enough, she was being called out for consuming the meat
which has been banned in Maharashtra.
Kajol soon
stepped into damage-control mode and deleted the video and the actress has now
tweeted a clarification.

“ 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,” Kajol said in the
statement.
The consumption of
cow meat has always been a sensitive matter and Kajol’s video got a lot of
negative attention.
The actress shared
the video on Facebook and Instagram. In the video, she was seen having lunch
with her girl gang at a friend’s restaurant. In the video, Kajol asks her
friend to explain the dish served to her and it turned out to be “beef, pepper
water with dry lentils and dry beef”.
Kajol’s
angry detractors told her that it was not OK to eat cow meat even if she was
abroad and it looks like the actress was shaken up by the negative comments.
Such are the pitfalls of stardom!
