Kajol celebrates her birthday today, and what could be a better way than reliving her iconic characters?
Bollywood actress Kajol turned 45-year-old on Monday. She is celebrating her day with husband Ajay Devgn. Kajol had taken a sabbatical from acting, but she is back to doing movies and we for one couldn't be more glad to see one of the most loved actress come back on screen.
Kajol has given us some memorable performances in the 90s and early 2000s. It would thus not be wrong to say that the actress has some iconic characters to her credit. From Simran in DDLJ to Anjali from both Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, the actress has managed to leave us speechless more than once.
Kajol, who last appeared in Pradeep Sarkar's Helicopter Eela, will soon be seen in Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, which stars he husband Ajay Devgn in the lead role. The movie also stars Saif Ali Khan as the antagonist. While Ajay has unveiled his look, neither Kajol nor Saif's look has been revealed yet.
While we await that, here, take a look at five iconic characters played by Kajol which can probably never be remade with the same magic again:
1. Simran in DDLJ
)
Raj was of course iconic, but did you look at Simran from DDLJ? She stood up to her super strict father Amrish Puri, all the time fighting for what she loves to do. Kajol was an idol back then too!
2. Anjali in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
)
If you thought Tina stole the limelight in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, think again! The character graph which Kajol witnessed in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai proves the kind of actress she is. Whether tomboyish or the sanskari naari, Kajol was on point and how!
3. Anjali in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham
)
A loud mouth with no filters, Anjali from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is the ideal definition for carefree. She loves to dance, cannot tolerate many people but is the best version of herself with her own people.
4. Zooni Ali Beg in Fanaa
)
A visually challenged woman Zooni Ali Beg was all kinds of power. She took care of her illegitimate child and even when the person she loves the most came back, she stood for the right thing.
5. Isha Diwan in Gupt
)
Gupt proved Kajol's callibre as an actress. Do not let the first half of the film fool you because the climax is sure to leave you stunned, courtesy Kajol's brilliant acting!
