Born on 5 August 1974 in Mumbai, Kajol comes from a film family. Her mother Tanuja has been a well-known actress, while her father Shomu Mukherjee was a famous filmmaker. Since childhood, Kajol had interest in acting and started his career at the age of 18 with the film ‘Bekhudi’ in 1992. Although the film was not successful at the box office, Kajol did not give up.
Kajol got the first major success with Shah Rukh Khan in 1993 from the film ‘Baazigar’. After this, he gave superhit films one after the other, such as ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’, ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, ‘Gupta Hai’, ‘Pyaar To Hona Hi’, and ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham’. In the 90s, when glamor was given more importance, Kajol made a distinct identity on the strength of his natural acting and powerful screen presence.
Let me tell you that in his career, Kajol has given many memorable films like ‘Dil Kya Kare’, ‘Hum Aapke Dil Mein Lahi Jea Hain’, ‘Ho-Hoi Pyaar Ho Gaya’, ‘Fana’, ‘You Me Aur Hum’, ‘My Name is Khan’, ‘We are Family’, and ‘Dilwale’. His performance in all these was appreciated by the audience.
At the same time, Kajol also made his debut in South Cinema with the Tamil film ‘Veliyilla Patthari 2’ (VIP 2) in 2017. In the film, he worked with South’s superstar Dhanush and played the role of a strong villain. The film was directed by Soundarya Rajinikanth.
An anecdote to this film was shared by Kajol himself in an interview. He told that when Dhanush and Soundarya brought the offer of the film to him, he said that Kajol would not have to speak Tamil. But after reaching the set, he was given pages of Tamil dialogues and asked to practice.
Kajol said, ‘Dhanush and Soundarya said that I will not have to speak Tamil. But when I reached the set, I was given to read the dialogue in Tamil. Every day I had to practice dialogues with two hours of assistant director. Along with this, he also shared that when you work in another language, it becomes difficult to focus on dialogues often, which can affect your performance.

In 2011, he was also awarded ‘Padma Shri’ by the Government of India. Today Kajol is known for her performance not only in India, but also abroad.
