An actress with stunning looks and intense acting talent, Kajol has proved her mettle time and again with the kind of films and roles she has done till now.
Kajol, born on 5th August, 1974, comes from a “filmy” family. Her debut film in 1992, ‘Bekhudi’ was a flop. Then the Abbas-Mustaan thriller film ‘Baazigar’ in 1993 shot her to fame as the film became a huge success. It also set the trend of the ever-famous pairing of Shah Rukh-Kajol which has delivered many hits at the box office.
Kajol earned her first BFJA Best Actress Award in 1994 for her film ‘Udhaar Ki Zindagi’, although the film did not receive a very good response. In the same year, she played an ambitious girl in ‘Yeh Dillagi’, for which she nominated for the Filmfare Best Actress Award.
The year 1995 saw Kajol delivering two blockbuster hits in the form of ‘Karan Arjun’ and ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’, both of which were the top two highest grossing films of the year. The latter remains among the most successful films of all times, winning 10 Filmfare awards, including the Best Actress award to the leading lady Kajol.
Then thriller film ‘Gupt: The Hidden Truth’ became a major success and earned Kajol the Filmfare Award for Best performance in Negative Role, setting a different benchmark for other actresses of that time.
In 1998, three of her films became major successes- ‘Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya’, ‘Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha’ and finally, ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’. She won the Filmfare Best Actress Award for her role as Anjali in the latter.
Her next major film was ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’, which earned her the third Filmfare Best Actress award. After a 5-year break, Kajol returned to films with ‘Fanaa’, for which she was awarded with her fourth Filmfare Best Actress award. Films like ‘U Me Aur Hum’ and ‘My Name is Khan’ were also major successes and her performance in ‘We Are Family’ was highly appreciated.
Kajol is also the face of many brand endorsements. She is married to actor Ajay Devgn and has a daughter and a son.
