Mumbai: Today marks the 46th birthday of one of the leading actors of the 90s, Kajol. The Bengali beauty who marked her film debut with Bekhudi has been ruling millions of hearts with her infectious smile, sparkling eyes and unique style. On her special day, ETV Bharat brings to you some interesting facts about the actor.
Kajol forayed into the film industry at the tender age of 16. While her first film Bekhudi failed to strike the chords with the audience, her acting surely did!
Kajol's first breakthrough came with the 1993 release Bazigar. Later in 1995, she went on to feature in Karan Arjun and Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, both of which turned out to be a huge success.
After Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham, Kajol took a long break from films. She made a remarkable comeback with Fanaa and took home her 6th Filmfare trophy.
Interestingly, Kajol's chemistry with Shah Rukh Khan was highly liked by the audience. The duo has given many big hits together including Bazigar, Karan Arjun, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham and My Name is Khan.
However, in the year 2015, Kajol and Shah Rukh made a comeback with Dilwale which might have not done wonders at the box office but their chemistry did manage to create the same old magic.
In the song Ruk Ja O Dil Deewane from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, there is a sequence where Shah Rukh drops Kajol.
Interestingly, Kajol was not told about the free fall as filmmaker Aditya Chopra wanted to capture her real expressions.
Behind the title of the film, there's another lesser-known story. While most of the people liked the title, Kajol suggested it to be Tapori which was also approved by Kirron Kher.

Speaking about her love life, Kajol's romance with Ajay Devgn bloomed on the sets of Gundaraj. Kajol who was on the peak of her career was criticized for her decision to marry Ajay.
Many people even speculated that their marriage won't last long as Kajol and Ajay are poles apart in their lifestyle and behaviour. But at present, they are counted among the ideal couples of Bollywood.
Not many know that Kajol also appeared in a Tamil film Minsaara Kannavu alongside Prabhudheva and Arvind Swami.
Kajol and Karan Johar share a very close friendship and KJo considers the actor to be his lucky charm. Even if Kajol doesn't act in any of his films, he ensures that she is at least present in a cameo or special appearance for his good luck!
Kajol's Helicopter Eela which received several laurels had hit the big screens on September last year but the trailer was dropped in on her birthday. In the film, she played the role of a single mother.
The bubbly beauty was last seen on screen alongside hubby Ajay in the period drama Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior. Besides her magnificent performance, the film also received appreciations for captivating story-line and excellent video-effects.
On her special day, ETV Bharat extends best wishes for her future.
