Kajol Mukherjee is one of the best and most beautiful actresses present today in the Indian Film Industry. In her career, which began in 1991, she has done various types of roles, varying from the tender and lovable dulhania in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge to the amazingly violent villain in Gupt. The versatility of her acting is just incredible, some examples of this being proved by films like Dushman, where on one hand she is brash, ebullient and fun-loving, and on the other hand she plays the role of a sober, timid type of character. This can also be seen in her latest hit, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, where in the first half,

Kajol is a cool, college-going, tomboyish girl, and in the second half, she is so graceful, beautiful and mature. She is one person who needs not expose herself in order to earn fame; the beauty of her acting is sufficient to win the hearts of her audience, which is now a rare quality amongst her contemporaries. She not only has a pleasing achievement in acting, but also has a wonderful character. These qualities seem to enhance her grace and charm, and I guess this is the reason that she is my favourite actress. It seems that all the females in Kajol’s family have been great actresses in their time, which is probably one reason why Kajol herself is so talented in this field. It started with her grandmother (Shobhana Samarth) being a great actress of her time, going on to her aunt (Nutan), known as one of the legendary actresses. Nutan was followed by Kajol’s mother (Tanuja) who has acted in many films as well, finally leading us to Kajol – she has now taken over the title of a legendary actress. In fact, Rani Mukherjee (Kajol's cousin) has also joined this line in a very successful manner with hits like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Ghulam. Kajol’s father (Somu Mukherjee) too is a film producer, making it clear that acting seems to be in her genes.
