Kajol's mother Tanuja diagnosed with diverticulitis; to undergo a surgery!

Earlier this week Ajay Devgn's father and action choreographer Veeru Devgn passed away suddenly and on Wednesday Kajol's mother and veteran actress Tanuja was hospitalized due to abdominal pain.

Hospital sources told PTI that the actress will be operated for diverticulitis, a condition which results in the inflammation or infection of small pouches called diverticula that develop along the walls of the intestines.

Actor Kajol, Tanuja's daughter, was also spotted visiting her at the hospital. The news came two days after Kajol's father-in-law, action director Veeru Devgan's death.

Tanuja co-starred with popular Bollywood actors such as Rajesh Khanna (Haathi Mere Saathi, Bandish and Anokha Rishta), Dev Anand (Jewel Thief), Jeetendra (Jeene Ki Raah, Suhaagan and Swarg Narak) and Sanjeev Kumar (Anubhav, Jeene Ki Raah and Zabardast) to name a few. Chand Aur Suraj, Baharen Phir Bhi Aayengi, Nai Roshni and Do Chor are among her other popular films.

In 1963, Tanuja debuted in Bengali cinema opposite Uttam Kumar in Deya Neya. With veteran Bengali star Soumitra Chatterjee, she made films such as Teen Bhuvaner Parey and Prothom Kadam Phool.

Tanuja's recent prominent appearances have been in films like Son of Sardaar, starring her son-in-law Ajay Devgn, and Konkona Sen's A Death In The Gunj.
