From dusky teenage girl to an age-defying diva, Kajol's transformation is an inspiration for many who believe that age and beauty are inter-dependent.
In a career spanning over three decades, Kajol sure has carved a niche for herself in the Hindi film industry as an actor. However, in the last couple of years particularly, the 'Tanhaji' star has paved her way as a fashion icon too.
Over time, the actress has cleverly improvised her sartorial choices and made a place for herself among the many B-town divas, fashion enthusiasts look up to for inspiration.
From a dusky teenage girl to an age-defying diva, Kajol's transformation is an inspiration for many who believe that age and beauty are inter-dependent. Well, that's not true and there's no better example than the actress's photos which prove that Kajol is age like fine wine.
Tale a look at some photos of the star here:
1. Kajol's physical transformation
When actress Kajol debuted in the Hindi film industry in the year 1992, she did not fit into the description of a quintessential Bollywood heroine. Which means, she wasn't fair and neither did she have an envious figure that a leading lady in Bollywood was expected to have. In fact, she was dusky, had wavy hair and a unibrow that fortunately or unfortunately set her apart from the rest in the industry. Not that she wasn't beautiful. She was! But like said, she did not fit the 'description'. However, Kajol's onscreen presence was so magnetic that she went onto rule the industry as one of the leading ladies of Bollywood. And over the years, she also worked on transforming herself physically. And her recent photos are proof that of late, the actress has put in a lot of effort to look as stunning as she is looking in her recent photoshoot. Take a look:

4. Kajol reveals that she never considered herself beautiful
In a recent interaction with Netflix India, the 'Tahnaji' star revealed that it took her many years before she could see herself as 'beautiful', despite being very confident about herself. "The idea of seeing the beauty in imperfection is something my grandmother tried to instil in me at a very young age. She was considered one of the great beauties of her time, but she always told me, 'It's my slight cockeye that makes me beautiful!' Yet, it was many years before I could look at myself in the mirror and go, 'You are beautiful!'," Kajol told Netflix India.

"Don't get me wrong - I was very confident in my skin growing up. There were many adjectives I applied to myself: attractive, smart, cool, sexy even. But I didn't consider myself beautiful. A lot of it had to do with what everybody was spouting at that time. It took me a long time to arrive at 'beautiful'. Today, it's an entirely different thing. I don't mean to sound conceited but I often catch myself in the mirror or in a selfie and I'm like, 'Wow… I'm stunning! I hope women everywhere are having similar conversations with themselves," Kajol said during her interaction.
