Kajol, who was nominated last year to be a part-time member of the Prasar Bharati board, which oversees the functioning of All India Radio (AIR) and Doordarshan, for three years, may lose her post after repeatedly missing meetings this year. According to the provisions of the Prasar Bharati Act, members who are absent without taking permission for three consecutive board meetings are understood to have “vacated the office“.

Reportedly, the Information and Broadcasting ministry (I&B) has sent a letter to Prasar Bharati and is looking into the matter. Kajol's repeated absence had also figured in a recent meeting of the board.

The actress's spokesperson said Kajol's been unable to attend the last three-four meetings “due to prior professional commitments and a family emergency on medical grounds through most of this year“.
