Her mother [[Tanuja]] is a renowned actress, whilst her late father Shomu Mukherjee was a film producer.
* [[United States Senate elections, 1996]]
Her late maternal aunt, [[Nutan]] is the record holder for the most (five times) [[Filmfare Awards]] for ''Best Actress''. Late maternal grandmother [[Shobhna Samarth]] and great grandmother [[Rattan Bai]] had both been influential figures in the early stages of Hindi cinema.

Her paternal uncles are film producers; [[Joy Mukherjee]] and [[Deb Mukherjee]]. Kajol's paternal grandfather, [[Sashadhar Mukherjee]], was a filmmaker. His wife Satirani Devi, Kajol's paternal grandmother, was the sister of three famous film personalities, [[Ashok Kumar (actor)|Ashok Kumar]], [[Anoop Kumar]] and [[Kishore Kumar]]. Kajol's cousins [[Rani Mukerji]], [[Sharbani Mukherjee]] and [[Mohnish Behl]] are also Bollywood actors. Kajol's younger sister [[Tanisha Mukherjee]] has recently started a film career.

Kajol married Bollywood actor [[Ajay Devgan]] on [[February 24]], [[1999]]. On [[April 20]], 2003, she gave birth to a daughter named Nysa, which means Goddess of purity.

On [[April 10]], [[2008]], Kajol's father passed away after suffering from a cardiac arrest.

==Career==
Kajol left her school St. Josephs convent at Panchgani and started her career at the age of seventeen. Although her debut film, ''[[Bekhudi]]'' (1992) was not a great success at the box office, her performance was noticed and she went on to work with big production houses in India.
In 1993, she shot to fame with her second film, ''[[Baazigar]]'', opposite [[Shahrukh Khan]]. The film was her first major hit, and her pairing with Khan proved to be appreciated. She later went on to make a popular pairing with him in a number of films, all of which were box office successes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=199&catName=MTk5Mw==|title=Box Office 1993|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2007-01-12}}</ref>

Her first release in 1994, ''[[Udhaar Ki Zindagi]]'', was a box-office failure.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=200&catName=MTk5NA==|title=Box Office 1994|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2007-01-10}}</ref> Despite that, her performance in the film was much appreciated by critics, and she won the [[BFJA Awards|BFJA Best Actress Award]] for this film. She next starred in her first [[Yash Raj Films|Yash Raj Film]], the romantic drama ''[[Yeh Dillagi]]'', co-starring opposite [[Akshay Kumar]] and [[Saif Ali Khan]]. The film was a box office success and her performance as Sapna, a strong dreamy girl who leaves her paternal home to make her own life in the big city, earned Kajol her first nomination for [[Filmfare Best Actress Award|Best Actress]] award at the [[Filmfare Awards|Filmfare]].

1995 proved to be a very good year for Kajol. She went on to star alongside [[Shahrukh Khan]] in two of the year's biggest hits. Her first release was [[Rakesh Roshan]]'s ''[[Karan Arjun]]''. The film, which dealt with [[reincarnation]], became the second biggest hit of the year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=201&catName=MTk5NQ==|title=Box Office 1995|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2007-01-12}}</ref> While three of her next releases that year failed at the box office, her last release, [[Aditya Chopra]]'s directorial debut, ''[[Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge]]'', was not only the biggest hit of that year, but one of the biggest hits of Hindi cinema ever.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/cpages.php?pageName=all_time_earners|title=All Time Earners Inflation Adjusted (Figures in Ind Rs)|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.com|accessdate=2008-01-12}}</ref> The film has entered its twelfth year in [[Mumbai]] [[Movie theater|theaters]], grossing over 12 [[10000000000 (number)|billion]] [[rupee]]s overall, making it one of the biggest film blockbusters in Bollywood.<ref>{{cite web|work=planetbollywood.com|title=´DDLJ´ Enters The Twelfth Year At The Theaters!|url=http://www.planetbollywood.com/displayArticle.php?id=011307064804|accessdate=14 January|accessyear=2007}}</ref> Kajol's performance in the film was praised, and she received her first [[Filmfare Best Actress Award]].

Kajol had only one release in 1996, ''[[Bambai Ka Babu (1996 film)|Bambai Ka Babu]]'', opposite Saif Ali Khan, which was a major box office failure.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=202&catName=MTk5Ng==|title=Box Office 1996|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2007-01-12}}</ref>

In 1997, Kajol she starred in ''[[Gupt: The Hidden Truth]]''. Co-starring actors [[Bobby Deol]] and [[Manisha Koirala]], the film was one of the highest grossing films of that year.<ref name="1997 BO">{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=203&catName=MTk5Nw==|title=Box Office 1997|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2007-01-10}}</ref> Apart from that, her performance was a significant development for female actors in Bollywood; she was the first female actor to win the [[Filmfare Best Villain Award]]. She next starred in ''[[Hamesha]]''. Like ''Karan Arjun'', the film dealt with the topic of reincarnation. However, unlike the latter, it was a box office failure.<ref name="1997 BO"/> She next starred in her first [[Tamil cinema|Tamil]] film, ''[[Minsaara Kanavu]]''. The film was a major critical success and Kajol won her first [[Filmfare Best Actress Award (Tamil)|Best Actress]] award at the [[Filmfare Awards South]] ceremony. Her last release that year was the romantic-comedy ''[[Ishq]]'', where she was paired with her then future husband, [[Ajay Devgan]], which did well at the box office.<ref name="1997 BO"/>

Kajol had further success in 1998, as she starred in three of the year's biggest hits.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=204&catName=MTk5OA==|title=Box Office 1998|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2007-01-10}}</ref> She first starred opposite [[Salman Khan]] in the comedy ''[[Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya]]''.

and won her first [[Star Screen Award Best Actress]] for her performance. She next starred opposite Ajay Devgan in the romance ''[[Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha]]'', which was the second biggest hit of that year. However, her biggest success that year came with her last release, [[Karan Johar]]'s directorial debut, ''[[Kuch Kuch Hota Hai]]''. Starring opposite [[Shahrukh Khan]], the romance went on to become the biggest hit of the year in both India and overseas.<ref name="overseas">{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/cpages.php?pageName=overseas_earners|title=Overseas Earnings (Figures in Ind Rs)|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2008-01-10}}</ref> Additionally, she won her second [[Filmfare Best Actress Award]] for her performance.

Kajol's first release in 1999 was the drama film ''[[Dil Kya Kare]]''. She played the supporting role of Nandita Rai, which was well received. However, the film flopped. She had a hit with her second release, the family drama ''[[Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain]]''. Starring alongside [[Anil Kapoor]], Kajol received another ''Best Actress'' nomination at the Filmfare.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=205&catName=MTk5OQ==|title=Box Office 1999|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2007-01-10}}</ref>

She had an unsuccessful year in 2000, as her only release that year, ''[[Raju Chacha]]'' went unnoticed.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=206&catName=MjAwMA==|title=Box Office 2000|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2007-01-10}}</ref>

Kajol had only two films released in 2001. She first played a double role in the drama ''[[Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi]]'', which was a major commercial failure. However, she reinvented her success in her second venture with [[Karan Johar]], ''[[Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham]]'', which was one of the biggest hits of the year,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=207&catName=MjAwMQ==|title=Box Office 2001|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2007-01-10}}</ref> and for which she won several ''Best Actress'' awards, including her third [[Filmfare Best Actress Award]] and her second [[Star Screen Award Best Actress]]. Critic [[Taran Adarsh]], wrote of her performance in the film, "Kajol is first-rate in the role of a typical Chandni Chowk lass. Her Punjabi dialect will win her immense praise. The sequence when she seeks Amitabh's ''aashirwad'', without him knowing about it, is terrific."<ref>{{cite web|author=Adarsh, Taran|date=[[December 11]], [[2001]]|title=Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham review|url=http://indiafm.com/movies/review/6779/index.html|publisher=[[indiaFM]]|accessdate=2007-12-03}}</ref>

She made a successful comeback in 2006 with [[Kunal Kohli]]'s drama ''[[Fanaa (film)|Fanaa]]'', one of the highest grossing films of the year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=212&catName=MjAwNg==|title=Box Office 2006|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2007-01-10}}</ref> Portraying a blind Kashmiri girl who falls in love with a Kashmiri terrorist (played by [[Aamir Khan]]) in the film, she won her fourth [[Filmfare Best Actress Award]], which placed her at par with other famous Bollywood actresses, [[Meena Kumari]] and [[Madhuri Dixit]], each of whom holds 4 ''Best Actress'' awards from Filmfare. (Kajol's late aunt, [[Nutan]] currently holds the record for five such awards.) Kajol's latest release, ''[[U, Me aur Hum]]'', which released on [[April 11]], [[2008]], marked her husband's directorial debut; the film performed moderately at the box office.

==Media==
In 2005, she appeared on the TV show ''[[Kaun Banega Crorepati]]'' (the Indian version of [[Who wants to be a millionaire?]]) hosted by [[Amitabh Bachchan]].
