Kajol is an Indian actress who is known for her work in Hindi films. She made her screen debut in the 1992 film Bekhudi.

She starred in the 1994 film Udhaar Ki Zindagi, which earned her critical acclaim. This was followed by a role in Yeh Dillagi alongside Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan. Kajol featured in five films in 1995. She appeared briefly in the thriller Karan Arjun, and played Simran, an NRI in Aditya Chopra’s romance Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, both of which ranked among the highest-grossing Bollywood films of the year, and the success of the latter established her career in Bollywood. As of 2021, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is the longest-running Indian film. Also in 1995, she appeared in the box-office flops Hulchul and Gundaraj. Her only screen appearance of 1996 was in Bambai Ka Babu, a financial failure.
In 1997, Kajol featured in the film Minsara Kanavu, her first Tamil feature. She played an obsessive lover in the mystery film Gupt (1997), and became the first woman to win the Filmfare Award for Best Performance in a Negative Role. Later in 1997, she featured as a poor girl in the romantic film Ishq, a box-office hit. In 1998, she played the leading lady in three romantic comedies, which were among the top-grossing Bollywood productions of the year — Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Also in 1998, she played dual roles in the drama Dushman. The following year, she played the mistress of Ajay Devgn’s character in Dil Kya Kare and starred in the commercially successful film Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain. Following this, she starred in the films Raju Chacha (2000) and Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi (2001), both of which performed poorly at the box-office.
In 2015, after five years, she made her comeback with Rohit Shetty’s Dilwale, one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films of all time. In 2017, she was seen in Soundarya Rajnikanth’s film Velaiilla Pattadhari 2, which was a profitable venture. She played a single mother who gives up her career as an aspiring singer in Pradeep Sarkar’s family drama, Helicopter Eela, which didn’t do well. After an absence in 2019, she starred in Tanhaji (2020), which was a major critical and commercial success. Later in the year she featured in Devi, a short film depicting 9 women living in one room. In 2021, she made her digital debut in the family drama Tribhanga, for which she was praised for her portrayal of a woman with a traumatic childhood.

In 2011, she was honoured with Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian honour of the country, by the Government of India.
The daughter of Tanuja and Shomu Mukherjee, Kajol made her acting debut with Bekhudi (1992), while still in school. She subsequently quit her studies, and had her first commercial success with Baazigar (1993), opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Following a breakthrough role in Yeh Dillagi (1994), she featured with Khan in several blockbusters, including the romances Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), both gained her wide public recognition and two Filmfare Awards in the Best Actress category.

After shooting for the family drama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham… (2001), which won her a third Filmfare Award, Kajol took a sabbatical from full-time acting and continued working infrequently over the next decades. Following a successful comeback with the romantic thriller Fanaa (2006), she played leading roles, among those well received such as U Me Aur Hum (2008), We Are Family (2010), My Name Is Khan (2010), and Dilwale (2015).

She intended to return to school after shooting during her two-months summer vacation but eventually dropped out to pursue a full-time career in film—though she later regretted the decision.
