Bollywood actress Kajol hails from a filmi background, born to the producer-actress duo Shomu Mukerjee and Tanuja on August 5th 1975. Apart from her parents, she has a host of relations involved in the film trade surrounding her. Her aunt Nutan and grandmother Shobana Samarath were established actresses.
Kajol enjoyed a happy childhood with her sister Tanisha. Though she had to confront with the split up relationship of her parents; there was nothing to complain as all her requirements were fulfilled.
Kajol made her presence on the silver screen with her debut 'Bekhudi' co-starring with Kamal Sadaana and directed by Rahul Rawaail. The film did not do much good for her. The movie Yeh Dillagi displayed her spontaneity and confidence in her talent. Soon Kajol began hitting the Bollywood silver screens more often. The success or failures of her movies did not affect the actress in her.
Kajol was one among the few who broke the Bollywood expectations of a heroine with a fair complexion, chiseled features and a slim body as the credentials. Her talent was much spoken of by both her fans and the film industry. Hailing from a strong financial background, her pursuit of acting was rather a hobby than a career. Hence she was free from making compromises in choosing her movies for the sake of money.
Kajol shared a wonderful chemistry on the screen with Sharukh Khan and there were a lot of successful Bollywood movies starring both of them like 'Baazigar,' 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayengae,' 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,' 'Kabhi Kushi Kabi Gham'.
Her exemplary performance in 'Gupt' fetched her the 'Film Fare Best Villain Award'. She also has the credit of being the first female actor to have won this award. At the peak of her career, she tied the knot with Ajay Devagan. Kajol is now a mother of a baby girl Nysa.
Marriage however did not put an end to her acting faculties. 'Kabi Kushi Kabi Gham' was done after her wedding in 2001. She again made a reentry with 'Fana' in 2006. She also made a special appearance in ' Kabi Alvida Na Kehna' for the song ' Rock n Roll Soniye'. Her new venture 'Main Tum Aur Hum' is yet to be released.
