DYNAMIC DUO
Elle India|October 2024
Kajol and Kriti Sanon join forces in Netflix's 'Do Patti', which is a testament to both actors' desire to break away from typecasting, experiment with new genres, and push their creative boundaries

DYNAMIC DUO

My introduction to Bollywood legend Kajol was in 'Baazigar', which was released in 1993. This film marked a significant milestone and solidified her career in Bollywood. Playing the role of Priya Chopra, the younger sister of Seema (Shilpa Shetty), Kajol delivered a performance that was both emotionally charged and nuanced, especially given the thriller's dark and unpredictable plot.

What made Kajol's performance in 'Baazigar', and all her subsequent roles, noteworthy was her ability to balance vulnerability with resilience. She was not merely a romantic lead but an active participant in unravelling the film's mystery. Her expressions, ranging from love and betrayal to shock and grief, were delivered with a rawness that resonated deeply with the audience. The film's success not only catapulted her into stardom but also demonstrated her potential to handle complex, multi-dimensional characters.

Fast forward to 2024, and Kajol's status as an icon in Indian cinema is well-earned, thanks to her versatility, longevity, and the impact of her filmography. With an illustrious career spanning over three decades, she has delivered standout performances in some of Bollywood's most beloved films, including 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge', 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham', 'My Name is Khan', and 'Fanaa'. She also has won multiple awards and was honoured with the Padma Shri, India's fourth-highest civilian award, in 2011. Her continued relevance, even in the digital age, reinforces her position as a timeless talent.
