By the way, you must have seen many family members in Bollywood, whose many members are part of the film industry. There is also a heroine who is working herself at the age of 51, so there was a time when she used to be the top actress. The most interesting thing is that from her mother, aunt, grandmother to Pardadi, all have worked in Indian cinema. Let us introduce this actress.
This is none other than Bollywood’s bubbly Kajol, who has now turned 51 years old. Kajol has ruled the hearts of fans with amazing acting. He stepped into the Bollywood industry at the age of just 16 and never looked back again.
Kajol worked in superhit films like Dil Wale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Gupta and My Name Is Khan. Their pairing was seen with Shah Rukh Khan the most and both have also given many blockbusters.
Many generations of Kajol’s family have been working in Hindi cinema, you will be surprised to know that Kajol’s Pardadi Ratan Bai and Shobhana Samarth (Nani) were one of the earliest actresses of Indian cinema. At the same time, his mother (Tanuja) aunt (Nutan) has done many memorable films.
Very few people know that before marrying Ajay Devgan, Kajol was dating Karthik Mehta, although both of them had a break up. He disclosed this during an interview.
Bollywood’s superhit films “Gadar Ek Prem Katha” and “Dil Se” were the first choice of director Kajol but Kajol refused to do these films. Later, when he was asked about this, he said that that role was not made for me, so I refused to work in those films.
There is an interesting anecdote associated with Kajol. In 1999, when her husband Ajay Devgan started the production company “Devgan Films”, Kajol played an important role in creating the company’s official website. Kajol then said that, I understand the computer, at least I know more than the people around me, then I should help there.
In the 90s, Kajol’s career was at his peak, during which he did many blockbuster films. Box Office India included Kajol in the list of “Top Actresses” for 5 consecutive years from 1995 to 1999.
Kajol and Shah Rukh went to America for promotion for the film My Name Is Khan in 2010, both are the first Indian artists who were invited by NASDAQ. He officially started Trading Day by ringing the market of NYSE AMERICAN.
