Kajol's promotional gimmick backfires as fans slam her 'lies'
Actor Kajol jolted her fans for a while on Friday afternoon when she suddenly deleted all her posts from social media. While her previous uploads vanished, a new post said, "Facing one of the toughest trials of my life." However, as it turned out a few hours later, this was a promotional strategy for her new show, The Trial. Now, her fans feel betrayed.
On Friday, actor announced her web series debut
On Friday evening, the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai actor's old posts were restored as Kajol announced her web series debut: The Trial—Pyaar Kanoon Dhokha. Directed by Suparn Verma, it is the Hindi adaptation of The Good Wife, a legal drama that focused on a homemaker who returns to a law firm for the sake of her husband. The trailer will be out on Monday.
Now, fans think it'll be impossible to 'trust' her
When Kajol posted the aforementioned ominous message on Friday afternoon, her fans started sending her strength and patience during her "tough time." However, now that the actor has made it clear that this was a publicity stunt, people are trending #ShameOnKajolHotstar for "playing with fans' feelings," and some have even said that they will "never be able to care for or love Kajol again."

Speaking about the show earlier, Kajol said, "Being an avid fan of digital series, the concept has always been intriguing; and after following cool shows such as Aarya and Rudra, I knew there was no other platform than Disney+ Hotstar to start my series journey."
