News India Live, Digital Desk: The web of relationships in Bollywood is very deep, and when it comes to the ‘Mukherjee-Samarth’ family, it seems no less than a film story. Very few people know that Kajol and Mohnish Bahl are not only co-stars but also cousins. His relationship with Rani Mukherjee is also linked to the ‘Mukherjee’ legacy. Let us understand the family tree of this most powerful and talented family of Bollywood. Kajol and Mohnish Bahl: Real cousins Kajol and Mohnish Bahl are related through their mothers. Kajol’s mother Tanuja and Mohnish Bahl’s mother Nutan were real sisters. Hence, Mohnish and Kajol are ‘First Cousins’. Filmy Journey: Despite being brother and sister, both of them have worked together in the film ‘Gundaraj’ (1995). However, on screen, Mohnish was often seen in villain or character roles, while Kajol dominated as the lead actress. Mohnish Bahl’s daughter Pranutan Bahl is also a part of Bollywood now, who seems to be Kajol’s niece. What is the relationship with Rani Mukherjee? Kajol and Rani Mukherjee are related from their fathers’ side. Kajol’s father Somu Mukherjee and Rani Mukherjee’s father Ram Mukherjee were cousins. Cousins: Hence Kajol and Rani Mukherjee are ‘second cousins’. Both of their grandfathers (Shashadhar Mukherjee and Ravindra Mohan Mukherjee) were real brothers. Work together: Both of them had worked together in the blockbuster film ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’. Although, there were reports of rift between them in the initial years, but now tremendous bonding of both the sisters is seen in the Durga Puja pandals. Ayan Mukherjee and Ashutosh Gowarikar are also part of this ‘Kunbe’. The roots of this family are very deep spread in Bollywood: Ayan Mukherjee: Ayan Mukherjee, director of ‘Brahmastra’ and ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’, is the cousin of Kajol and Rani Mukherjee. Ayaan is the son of Deb Mukherjee (who was the brother of Somu Mukherjee). Ashutosh Gowarikar: ‘Lagaan’ director Ashutosh Gowarikar also has a connection with this family. His wife Sunita is the daughter of Deb Mukherjee, making him the son-in-law of this family. Also related to Kishore Kumar. Another surprising fact is that Kajol’s grandfather Sashadhar Mukherjee had married Sati Devi, the only sister of Ashok Kumar, Kishore Kumar and Anup Kumar. In this sense, Kajol’s relationship is also linked to the family of great singer Kishore Kumar.
