Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham…(2002)

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham directed by Karan Johar was the highest-grossing Indian production of all time in the international market. Kajol starred in a major part. She portrayed Anjali Sharma a young Punjabi woman from the Chandni Chowk neighbourhood who falls in love with a rich man (Shah Rukh Khan). She related to the character's loud personality and noticed similarities to Hema Malini's in Sholay (1975). Although she initially found it difficult to learn the language Kajol eventually mastered the pronunciation and diction with the help of producer Yash Johar and some of the crew. The part required her to speak Punjabi a language she was not fluent in.

She received critical acclaim for her comic-dramatic portrayal and Punjabi accent which helped her win a third Filmfare Award for Best Actress. In a review for The Hindu Ziya Us, Salam stated: In fact, Kajol steals the show from people with very high profiles. She is a complete treat, thanks to her impeccable timing and soft, lingering expression. Kajol took a break from full-time acting after Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and turned down a number of film roles. She admitted that while she had not given up acting, she had started to be pickier about the roles she took on because she wished to devote more time to her spouse. At this point, the majority of moviegoers believed her career was ended.

Fanaa (2006)

Kajol made a comeback to the big screen with Kunal Kohli's romantic suspense flick Fanaa (2006). Zooni Ali Beg was a character she played. She is a blind Kashmiri woman who unknowingly falls in love with a terrorist (whose role was played by Aamir Khan) in this Movie. The movie was marketed as her comeback a term she hated because she had not actually retired but had simply taken a sabbatical. In comparison to its $220 million (US$2.8 million) budget, the movie made $1 billion (US$13 million) in its first week of release. Both the movie and Kajol's performance got favourable reviews. Kajol is enough of a justification according to Sudhish Kamath of The Hindu while Deepa Gahlot thought Kajol's sincerity in the role made up for the film's shortcomings. Kajol won a second Zee Cine Award and a fourth Filmfare Award for best actress for Fanaa.

The romantic thriller movie Fanaa, also known as Annihilation, was released in 2006 in the Hindi language. It was directed by Kunal Kohli and produced by Aditya and Yash Chopra under the name of Yash Raj Films. Aamir Khan and Kajol are the movie's main actors, and Rishi Kapoor, Kirron Kher, Tabu, and Sharat Saxena play supporting roles.

 While Kajol portrays Zooni Ali Beg a blind Kashmiri woman, Khan plays Rehan Qadri a tourist guide in New Delhi. Both fall in love, but a terrorist strike that purportedly results in Rehan's death keeps them apart. It is later discovered that the man who was thought to have been slain was actually a Kashmiri militant who had planned the attacks. Seven years later, his group, the IKF, assigns him to a mission in Kashmir where, in an odd turn of events, he once more encounters Zooni. Khan made his debut as an anti-hero in that movie. When it was first released, Fanaa was one of the most expensive Bollywood movies. The word Fanaa which translates as destroyed in Arabic Persian Urdu and Hindi is a term used by Islamic Sufis.

Career Timeline

Controversies

Rekha Photoshoot Controversy

Rekha, a legendary beauty in Bollywood, has frequently made the news. The seasoned actress never fails to steal the show, whether it's through her controversies or her dazzling appearances at events. The photo session in those days was viewed as audacious by the uninitiated, raised eyebrows and generated a lot of buzz.

Rekha and Kajol appeared on the cover of a prestigious magazine's January 1996 issue. The two were only wearing a white pullover as they posed. When the actresses put on the same sweater and posed in a white off-shoulder sweater, everyone's attention was drawn to them.

Such photo shootings were still a huge bomb for Indian audiences back then. Kajol, who had never been involved in a controversy, had. Even though there was nothing offensive about the image, many people did not find it to be acceptable. In response to the photo shoot, Rekha and Kajol received harsh criticism. In 1992, Kajol made her Bollywood debut. In 1996, she became involved in a dispute.

Clash With Karan Johar

While Karan and Kajol were childhood friends, SRK was a relative newcomer to the industry. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai My Name is Khan Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum are the blockbusters they worked on and produced together. However, Kajol and Karan's friendship reached new heights in 2016 with the release of the movie Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, which also starred Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Shivaay (Ajay Devgn). At the box office, both movies competed.

The self-described critic Kamaal R Khan (KRK) asserted in a tweet that Karan had paid him Rs 25 lakh to promote Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and disparage Shivaay when their films clashed at the box office. The actor from Golmaal then reposted the tweet. Later, Karan alleged that Ajay had yelled at him over the phone. The fact that Kajol shared her husband's tweet while adding the word shocked stung him the most though.

Speaking honestly about the situation and how Kajol's response to it left him feeling emotionally crushed and hurt, he remarked simply that the actress killed every feeling he had for her for 25 years. He continued by saying he had no sympathy for her because she had committed the most abhorrent act for someone who cherished her. However Kajol and Karan were unable to hold their resentment for very long. The following February, Karan gave birth to twins Yash and Roohi and things gradually began to warm up between them. The first telltale indicator was Kajol's Instagram, like Karan's family photo. Later, Ajay and Kajol made an appearance on Season 6 of Karan's Koffee With Karan as the celebrity guests.
