Did not want to do films (Kajol Life Story)

Kajol initially did not want to enter the film industry, but her mother wanted her to enter the film industry like her and make a name for herself. Kajol signed her first film, Bekhudi Sirf Masti Masti. Although this film flopped, Kajol's acting was highly appreciated.

Kajol's Bold and outspoken style

Kajol is known for her acting as well as her bold and outspoken style. In the early days of her career, she had a fight with Shah Rukh Khan, although now there is a good bond between the two. Today, on the occasion of Kajol's 51st birthday, know some special things related to her life...

She was naughty and stubborn since childhood (Kajol Childhood)

Kajol was born in a Bengali family. Her mother, Tanuja, was one of the famous actresses of her time, while her father, Shomu Mukherjee, was a film director. Therefore, Kajol's childhood was spent in a filmy environment. Kajol did her schooling at St. Joseph Convent Boarding School in Panchgani. She was very naughty and stubborn since childhood. When she decided to do something, she would not rest until she completed it. Once, she even ran away from school.

When Kajol was 11 years old, her great-grandmother became very ill. In such a situation, when the family did not allow her to come home, she ran away from school with a friend to meet her ailing great-grandmother, but was caught at the bus stand. Kajol talked about her childhood and her parents' separation in an interview with journalist Karan Thapar. She said, 'They loved me, but did not spoil me with that love. She was a little strict, so sometimes she would beat me with a badminton racket, and sometimes she would pick up utensils and throw them at me.' Many times she has thrown things at me.

After the divorce of the parents, the grandmother raised her (Kajol's Parents)

When Kajol was only four and a half years old, her parents, Tanuja and Shomu Mukherjee, got divorced. After this, both started living separately. Kajol was raised by her maternal grandmother, Shobhana Samarth. She lived with her mother, Tanuja, in the Mahalaxmi area of Mumbai, while her father lived in Santacruz. Kajol often used to go to Santacruz by local train to meet her father.

On her parents' divorce, Kajol said in the latest episode of Netflix's Sistersplaining - Even though parents were separated, they never let us feel it. Both of them together raised my sister, Tanisha, with love and responsibility. They did what was best for their children. Kajol and her father had a very good bond. Both were seen together in many events. Kajol's father, Shomu Mukherjee, passed away in the year 2008.

Made fun of Karan Johar (Kajol-Karan Johar)

After returning from boarding school, Kajol often went to film industry parties with her mother Tanuja. In one such party, producer Yash Johar brought his 16-year-old son Karan. Tanuja asked Karan to dance with her daughter Kajol. Karan took Kajol to the dance floor and started dancing, but Kajol started laughing loudly after seeing him.

Karan thought that she was laughing after seeing his dance, so he started dancing slowly, but Kajol did not stop laughing. Karan started crying and went to his mother and said that Tanuja Aunty's daughter is very strange. Actually, Kajol was laughing after seeing Karan's three-piece suit, while she herself had come wearing a Catholic gown.

She did not want to become a heroine; her mother forced her to do a photoshoot

Kajol's mother, Tanuja, wanted her daughter to become a big Bollywood actress, but Kajol had no interest in films. She believed that there was a lot of work in the film industry, and she wanted to do something that required less effort, but, going against Kajol's wishes, her mother started making a film to launch her. Kajol became a heroine, but the film was shelved.

After this, one day, Kajol again went for a photoshoot with one of her friends. The photoshoot was of her friend, but the makeup artist did her makeup as well. Kajol started refusing, but then her mother reached there and Kajol had to get the photoshoot done with makeup. Her photoshoot was done by Gautam Rajadhyaksh, who was working on the script of the film Bekhudi at that time. He liked Kajol's face so much that he took her photos to the director of the film, Bekhudi, Rahul Rawail. He also liked Kajol, and he went straight to Tanuja's house for her.

As soon as Kajol came to know about the film offer, she got angry and refused, but later she agreed to do the film to get rid of the boredom of school.
