Kajal Aggarwal feels grateful for lessons learned in 2024
Life may not have gone according to my meticulous plans (spoiler: it never does), but it's been a year of growth, humour, and unexpected wins, says the actor, and hopes that 2025 does not bring any plot twists
As the year comes to an end, actor Kajal Aggarwal has expressed her gratitude to 2024 for all the lessons learned, laughs shared, and the moments that didn’t go as planned but somehow worked out better than expected.
Sharing a picture with her husband Gautam Kitchlu and her son Neil on Instagram, the actor posted a note expressing her gratitude.
She wrote: “As this year comes to a close, I can’t help but feel a mix of gratitude and relief–like surviving a reality show where the challenges were mostly self-inflicted. But in all seriousness, I’m thankful for the lessons learned, the laughs shared, and the moments that didn’t quite go as planned but somehow worked out better than expected (sic).”
“To the people who have been there through my best ideas and my ‘what was I thinking?’ moments, I’m truly grateful. Life may not have gone according to my meticulous plans (spoiler: it never does), but it’s been a year of growth, humour, and unexpected wins (sic).”
She now hopes that 2025 does not bring any plot twists. “Here’s to the lessons we didn’t want to learn, the surprises we didn’t see coming, and the friends who stuck around through it all. Bring on next year–just please, no more plot twists. #2025 #excitedforthenewyear (sic).”
