She deleted the clip from her Instagram and Facebook accounts after it attracted negative comments.
"A video of me at a friend's lunch said that there was a beef dish at the table. That's a miscommunication. What was shown was buffalo meat, that is legally available meat.
"I'm issuing this clarification because this is a sensitive matter that may hurt religious sentiments, which is not my intention," Kajol wrote.
Beef is banned in Maharashtra and other parts of the country.
