Kajol has a warm, approachable look that has endeared her to millions of fans over more than three decades in Indian cinema. Standing at 5'2" with a chubby build, brown hair, and hazel eyes, she is a familiar and beloved figure on screen. Born on August 5, 1974, in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, she holds Indian nationality and is of Asian ethnicity. Her measurements are 35–27–34, with a 34B bra cup size and natural breasts.

Kajol began her acting career in 1992 with the film Bekhudi, while she was still in school. She soon quit her studies to focus on acting, and her commercial breakthrough came with Baazigar (1993), opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Her role in Yeh Dillagi (1994) was a turning point, and she went on to star in blockbusters such as Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), both earning her Filmfare Awards for Best Actress. Her portrayal of a psychopath killer in Gupt: The Hidden Truth (1997) and an avenger in Dushman (1998) gained her critical acclaim. After Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (2001), she took a sabbatical from full-time acting, appearing infrequently for the next two decades. She made a successful comeback with Fanaa (2006), followed by U Me Aur Hum (2008), We Are Family (2010), My Name Is Khan (2010), and Dilwale (2015). Her performance in Tanhaji (2020) became her highest-grossing release.

Beyond acting, Kajol is a social activist known for her work with widows and children. She served as a talent judge for the reality show Rock-N-Roll Family in 2008. She also holds a managerial position at Devgn Entertainment and Software Ltd. Kajol has been married to actor Ajay Devgn since 1999, and they have two children. With over 18.7 million Instagram followers, she remains one of the most popular Indian actresses online. Her contributions to Hindi cinema have been recognized with numerous awards, including six Filmfare Awards and the Padma Shri in 2011.
