Kajol

Often paired on-screen with actor Shah Rukh Khan. In fact, each of her five movies with him (Baazigar, Karan Arjun, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and Kabhi Khushie Kabhi Gham) have all gone on to become super-hits and blockbusters.
In 2001, she retired temporarily from Bollywood to spend more time with her family.
Kajol is a fourth-generation actress: her mother Tanuja Samarth, maternal aunt Nutan, maternal grandmother Shobhna Samarth and maternal great grandmother Rattan Bai were all movie stars in their day.
Her wedding to Ajay Devgn was a quiet affair where only a few close friends and relatives were invited. The newly wed couple went on a two month honeymoon traveling the world visiting such places as Sydney & Cairo. She will continue to act in select films, maybe in one or two a year.
Gave birth to her first child at age 28, daughter Nysa Devgan on April 20, 2003. Child's father is her husband, Ajay Devgn.

In life, I take my decisions and stand by them. Some decisions may have proven to be not the best, but I have learned from them, and I've never repeated a mistake again. If someone tells me to turn left, I will go right! I could not have been taught a lesson in any other way rather than by going through it.
[2023 on ageism] Somewhere it exists in your own head which you have to get rid of. Once you get rid of... I like where I am today. I do not want to be 16 again. Sorry no offense to Simran (her character in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995)), but I don't want to wear a short skirt and a crop top and dance in the rain. I'm really happy playing Noyonika (her character in The Trial (2023)). She's cool, she's kick-ass and I really like her.
[Thoughts on #MeTooMovement in Bollywood, 2020] Yes there is a difference. And I wouldn't say it's only on film sets. To be very honest, if you ask any man anywhere, after the #MeToo movement took a life of its own and embroiled a lot of very well known people in it, I think somewhere down the line, men -- good, bad, indifferent -- took seven steps back.
