Even today, decades after she let go of her peak status, Kajol commands respect and adulation from her fans. That’s exactly what makes her a superstar. From playing typical masala heroine to negative characters to women-oriented fares, she has done it all. On her birthday today, we list five of her most iconic roles ever. Take a look:
Baazigar:
In this career-defining role, where she was pitted against SRK (at his best), Kajol held her own. From the mushy love that shares with SRK's character to the realisation that he has killed her sister to actually hearing his backstory, Kajol had plenty of options to ace her bit, and she didn't need to be told that twice. It's no wonder that the movie is as much hers as it's Shah Rukh Khan's.
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaayenge:
She played a modern woman, who was still seeped in her roots. Her effervescent portrayal not just won her awards, but also shot her to the top of the superstardom list. It's still one of the most famous love stories in Bollywood and Simran plays a huge role in that.
Gupt:
In a negative role that rewrote a top heroine's chapter in Bollywood, Kajol made history. If you haven't watched the movie yet, you shouldn't read further because we have just revealed the plot of this thrilling murder mystery. And if you have watched the flick, you agree that she made other villains look like amateurs, eh?
Dushman:
In a dual role where she played both a victim and the avenger, Kajol was at her best. There's a particular scene where she realises that her twin sister is dead...the way the actress reacts is both heart-wrenching and beautiful. Hats off to her talent.
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai:
Her hairband became a fashion accessory, girls became obsessed with basketball, and Anjali was the preferred name of every little girl. But it was her acting chops both before and after the interval won her accolades and awards.
We love you Kajol!!!
