When you have legends backing you up, you really can't go wrong. The granddaughter of Shobhna Samarth and the daughter of Tanuja, Kajol made an immediate impact with her acting abilities. She started her career with films like "Bekhudi' and 'Udhaar Ki Zindagi', but she truly arrived with 'Baazigar' which proved to be a big turning point in her career.
A girl of immense talent, she surprised everyone with her villainous role in Rajeev Rai's 'Gupt', for which she took home a Filmfare. Some more movies like 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge' with Shahrukh Khan, 'Dushman' with Sanjay Dutt where she had a double role and 'Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya' with Salman Khan, and the country had a new uncrowned number one actress.
Then came 'Pyar To Hona Hi Tha' with Ajay Devgan , which opened a new chapter in her career. But probably even she was not prepared for what was coming with Karan Johar's 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' with Shahrukh Khan which made her the nation favorite with her role of a tomboy. Then came movies like Dil Kya Kare, which failed to elicit the same response at the box office.
After her marriage to Ajay Devgan, Kajol became very selective with her movies, and was seen in films like Raju Chacha and Karan Johar's Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham and Kal Ho Na Ho. Her forthcoming movie includes Kunal Kohli's Fanaah.
