BIOGRAPHY
Kajol comes from a family historically connected with Indian cinema. Her mother Tanuja was an acclaimed actress; Her father is Shomu Mukherjee; her cousins Rani Mukerji, Sharbani Mukherjee and Mohnish Behl are also part of the industry. Her aunt Nutan, grandmother Shobhna Samarth and great grandmother Rattan Bai have all been influential figures in the Bollywood film industry. Her younger sister Tanisha recently started a film career. Kajol is married to actor Ajay Devgan. Her uncles are Joy Mukherjee and Deb Mukherjee. (see Mukherjee-Samarth family (film)) Kajol has appeared in a great many movies. Not all of them have been hits; however, she has appeared in some of Bollywood's biggest hits, most notably the films in which she co-stars with Shah Rukh Khan: (Baazigar, Karan Arjun, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham). She became the first woman to win the Filmfare Best Villain Award, for her performance in Gupt: The Hidden Truth (1997). She retired briefly from film-making after the birth of her daughter Nysa. However, she has recently signed a film with director Kunal Kohli. The film is to be called Fanaah (Destruction) and she will co-star with Aamir Khan. She has also appeared on the famous TV show Kaun Banega Crorepati (the Indian version of Who wants to be a millionaire?) hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. She was paired with her husband Ajay Devgan. They won ten million rupees and donated them to a cancer hospital in Chennai. Kajol married actor Ajay Devgan on February 24, 1999. She is the proud mother of a baby girl, Nysa, who was born in April 2003. Kajol pours out film after with spontaneous ease of an accomplished actress. Though severely lacking in looks and beauty than most other successful heroines, she is among the highest paid, in industry. It is her style, class and piquancy that sets apart Kajol, from the rest of her contemporaries. Granddaughter of Shobhna Samarth, Kajol was born on August 5, 1975 to the producer-actress duo of Shomu and Tanuja Mukherjee. Tanisha is her sibling in a family, which has great influence in the film world. Famous star of yesteryears, Nutan is her aunt and Rani Mukherjee her cousin. Her childhood was laden with happiness and material prosperity. She got married to Ajay Devgun in 1999 and the couple have a daughter too. Kajol had taken up film making more out of passion than as a natural career choice. Kajol never had to compromise on the quality of films that she takes up due to her strong financial background. She had made her debut in Director Paraish Rawaail’s Kamaal Saadana, as her co-star in Bekhudi. Though Bekhudi failed miserably but Kajol’s draw kept on rising. She was discouraged for a while but when reality struck her, she continued doing films like Udhaar Ki Zindagi and Bambai Ka Babu. The eventful journey from Bekhudi to Dil Kya kare, shows the power of her versatility and as a matter of course she has won much more acceptance than her mother. Abbas Mastan’s Baazigaar, with a lot of help from co-star Shahrukh put her into final reckoning. Kajol became a sought after icon. Yeh Dillagi, with Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan established her credentials as an actress. Her performance made people sit up and notice the spontaneity and confidence she oozed. She displayed the same intuitive flair for acting, notably in Udhar ki Zindagi and Rakesh Roshan's commercial blockbuster Karan Arjun. She's been doing varied roles like that of murdering people Gupt, getting reincarnated Hamesha and almost turning into a nun Sapnay after singing the hummable Aawaran bhawnre. Her Dilwale Dulahaniya Le Jayenge, with Shah Rukh Khan set her in league with the legendry film stars of Bolly wood. She won the best actress award from Filmfare for her performance in the film. She signed a string of ventures thereafter. Though the film is more than eight years old, it continues to make waves in the popular cinema. Another great performa
