Here's the post:
In an earlier interview with Galatta India, Kajol was asked if she experienced negative energies. Admitting to the question, she said that she has faced it multiple times. "Call it negative energy or vibes, but sometimes, when you go to a place, you feel like something isn't right. I've shot at places where I couldn't sleep all night, where I felt it would be good if I could just leave this place. There are quite a few places like that," she said.advertisementShe then named Hyderabad's iconic Ramoji Film City as one of the most haunted places. "A prime example is Ramoji Rao Studios in Hyderabad, which is considered one of the most haunted places in the world.

Some actors only focus on acting, while others are true all-rounders; they model, do comedy, act, sing, and even host television shows. This actress is the granddaughter of classical singer Nirmala Devi and popular 1940s actor Arun Kumar Ahuja. Her mamu (maternal uncle) is superstar Govinda, and she is also the cousin of Krushna Abhishek, Arti Singh, and Soumya Seth. The actress in question was once known as the highest-paid actress on television. She has appeared in TV series like Radhaa Ki Betiyaan Kuch Kar Dikhayengi, Bhaskar Bharti, and Sasural Genda Phool , to name a few. Who is Govinda's niece? Actress Ragini Khanna, once the highest-paid actress on TV, recently gave an interview to Galatta India . During the interview, she was asked about her marriage plans. Govinda's niece and the beautiful television actress replied, 'I am looking for boys, but I haven't found a good one yet. My focus is on losing weight. Right now, I have no intention of getting married.' Speaking about her professional life, Khanna is currently keeping her distance from the TV industry.
