Kajol Biography :

Kajol Devgan, Mukherjee born August 5, 1975 in Mumbai, India) popularly known as Kajol, is a six-time Filmfare Award winning popular Bollywood actress. Kajol comes from a family with a long history in Indian cinema. Her mother Tanuja is a Marathi/Hindi actress; her father Shomu Mukherjee is a Bengali. Kajol has many cousins of which Rani Mukherjee, 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 Mukherjee recently started a film career. Her uncles are Joy Mukherjee and Deb Mukherjee.

Kajol's paternal grandfather Sashadhar Mukherjee was a film director and producer who had left a great achievement in the Bombay film industry. His wife Satirani Devi, Kajol's grandmother, was the sister of three great film personalities, Ashok Kumar, Anoop Kumar and Kishore Kumar. Kajol is of Bengali-Marathi descent and married to a Punjabi Ajay Devgan and they have a daughter named Nyasa. Kajol left school and started her career at the age of seventeen. Her debut film was "Bekhudi" in 1992. It was not a great success at the box office. However, she went on to appear in many other films which eventually became a great box office success.

By Bollywood standards, Kajol has not appeared in many movies since her debut. From 1992 to 2006, she has acted in only twenty-six movies. This would be considered a full resume by non-Indian actresses, but in Mumbai, this is minimal exposure. Many of these movies have been indifferent performers at the box office -- however, she has also starred in some of Bollywood's most successful movies. The 1995 "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" has been so popular that, as of 2006, it is still showing in a Mumbai cinema, an eleven-year continuous run.
