Kajool
She hasn’t been around for quit a while. After her power packed performance in Fanaa opposite Aamir Khan, Kajol has re-opened her vanity kit only to pose as the main lead in husband Ajay Devgan’s directorial venture, U Me Aur Hum .
Now, for those of you who are wondering what the talented Kajol is up to, let us brief you a little about what the Mukherjee lass is busy with. Besides being a fab mom, Kajol is doing her duty as an actress in hubby Ajay Devgan’s U Me Aur Hum with utmost responsibility. In fact, we hear, AD is busy wrapping up yet another shooting schedule of his directorial debut and is currently shooting in Filmistan.
A special song is being picturised on Kajol. The song is being choreographed by Ganesh Acharya, and the music of the film has been composed by none other than Ajay’s best buddy Vishal Bhardwaj. With all A-league ingredients, this ‘dish’ we’re sure is going to be rich and satisfying for you, me aur hum .
Ajay Devgan is quite upset with the media. The reason being one tabloid reported that his directorial debut film U, Me Aur Hum is remake of the Hollywood film ‘The Notebook’. And this would be the last thing that Ajay would have expected to be speculated about the film with which he turns a director.Confirm a source from Ajay Devgan’s film unit, “The film is a complete original screenplay written by Robin Bhatt, Sutanu Gupta and Akarsh Khurana. It has nothing to do with The Notebook.”U, Me Aur Hum stars Ajay Devgan and Kajol in the lead roles along with Divya Dutta, Isha Sharvani, Sumeet Raghvan and Karan Khanna.
This bubbly and opinionated woman may have taken leave of the big screen (albeit temporarily), but she is very much in the media eye and in people’s hearts — thanks to the brands she has agreed to promote. We see Kajol everyday, helping grooms with car and network trouble, suffering greedy crocodiles with a taste for toffee or washing tomato stains off her husband’s pristine white shirts.But there is much more to Kajol than just ads, glmour and a pretty face. She remains one of Bollywood’s most successful actresses and one of the most celebrated faces of Indian cinema. The actress (who turns 32 on August 5) is known for her brilliant onscreen presence and also for her cutting off screen remarks. A renowned bookworm, she is one of the few heroines who has managed to keep her feet out of the muddy gossip pool.
We aren’t done dropping names yet! Film producers Joy and Deb Mukherjee were her paternal uncles, while Sashadhar Mukherjee, the film director and producer who left quite a mark in the industry, was Kajol’s paternal grandfather. And the icing on the cake: Satirani Devi, Kajol’s paternal grandmother, was the sister of Ashok Kumar, Anoop Kumar and Kishore Kumar. Kajol began her career quite young. At the age of 17, she debuted in the film Bekhudi. The film may not have been a hit, but her histrionics were certainly noticed. A year later, in 1993, she had her first hit, Baazigar. She went on to make several blockbusters with her Baazigar co-star Shah Rukh Khan — like Karan Arjun (1994), Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) and Kabhi Khushi KabhieGham (2001). After her marriage (Kajol is married to actor Ajay Devgan and has a daughter Nysa [Greek for Goddess of Purity]), she made a comeback to the silver screen in 2006 with Fanaa. It was one of the highest grossing films of the year and she won a Filmfare Best Actress Award (her fourth) for her performance. She has been a constant on the small screen. Besides her innumerable ads, she also appeared on the TV show Kaun Banega Crorepati in 2005 along with her husband. And, surprise, surprise, they won the prize! The couple donated their Rs 1 crore prize to a cancer hospital in Chennai. Kajol also appeared on Indian Idol seasons 1 and 2 as a celebrity judge. And how can we forget the famous Kuch Kuch Hota Hai reunion (almost 10 years after the release of the movie) in the first episode of Karan Johar’s talk show Koffee with Karan. Kajol, Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukherjee were a laugh riot and ensured that sipping coffee with Karan became a celebrity aspiration. What is Kajol up to nowadays, besides thinking of what to wear for her birthday party? Well, she is dubbing for the version of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. She has also agreed towith King Khan in
