If those movies were hit it was thanks to SRK and Aamir it had nothing to do with Kajol. And if any actress had been casted opposite them it would have been a hit anyways. Kajol has always played it safe in her career never took risks in acting. She was lucky to have a close friend Karan Johar and once upon a time friend Aditya Chopra. So I don't get it when people praise her so much but I think it's her chemistry with thanks to SRK again that does it for her...I agree she's a good actress but not the best or the most talented out there.

Actresses like Madhuri, Rani, Manisha, Tabu, Karisma had done many versatile roles with and without big stars opposite them...


@Bold

Completely disagree. She did Baazigar, Karan Arjun and DDLJ when SRK was not famous and THE SRK. DDLJ is NOT a flowerpot role like what Sonakshi and Katrina who are the current 100 princesses have. DDLJ is because of Simran and Raj, not just Raj and the legendary chemistry that has it running in a theater even now.

As for Fanaa, it again it not a flower pot role. Dhoom 3 wasa guest apperance by Katrina in the highest grossing film, Fanaa was where Kajol contributed 100%. Aamir wanted her to do it. As for Adi and KJo, again KKHH made KJo and DDLJ established Adi. They were no where near powerful like now. Kajol in fact has contributed to the success of KJo, Adi and SRK, not vice versa like what is currently happening.

I do agree Kajol is not versatile, nor is she the best or the most talented. But to take away what she has done is not fair to her.

[quote]Those who are saying that kajol owe her career to KJO and Srk are totally wrong. Srk had his first hit with kajol, baazigar. SRK give his iconic movies with kajol, DDLJ, KKHH, K3! Both SRK and Kajol were new at that time. SRK had no star power when DDLJ released so both of them did well because of each other.
And Karan first movie was kuch kuch hota hai and it was SRK and Kajol who agreed to do his movie so basically Karan Johar and SRK were not a big thing on 1995 or 1996.[/quote]

Is this a joke?

SRK's first hit was Deewana! After that he had another hit with Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman. He had won the Debut Award for Deewana and stole the show from Rishi Kapoor. By the time Baazigar came, SRK was already famous and an award winner. Even prior to films, SRK was a very popular TV actor. His fame and success far exceeded Kajol's.

By the time DDLJ came, SRK had already had loads of hits, a Best Debut Award, a Best Actor award, Best Villain award, and even a Critics actor award for Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naan. In Darr, he had stolen the show from Sunny Deol. Same thing that happened with Rishi earlier.

SRK had no star power when DDLJ released ... 😆

Kajol has benefitted immensely from her chemistry with SRK. Even without those movies with her, SRK would still be a super successful star. Same is not true for Kajol. Without Baazigar, KKHH, Kabhi Khushi and MNIK, she would barely have anything.

Baazigar was very early in SRK's career, Darr was after. Baazigar had Shilpa Shetty too, prettier, sexier, yet it is Kajol who was noticed and not just because of the chemistry.

The truth is now the Khans are big and don't need heroines for box office apparently. But when they were establishing themselves, Madhuri, Juhi, Karishma, Kajol, Rani,Preity and so many others contributed in substantial and not in flowerpot roles. I don't know when BW became plug and play for a heroine, but to say that the Khans had a meteoric rise by themselves is ridiculous.

Some fans at it again..Ruining every Kajol topic by bringing in SRK and insipid comparions😆

She is not even coming back with your King Khan,the best actor to walk the face of earth,then are they so bothered! Never miss a chance to show their bitterness in every Kajol topic.Even though she is the most overrated and untalented actress ever these lots are the first ones to comment on her topic...10 times more excited and eager than her own fans 😛😆..Its hilarious for me cuz personally dont even bother opening many topics of stars I despise loll

Do you still think DDLJ is a hit because of SRK only like Dhoom 3 is clearly because of Aamir because well we shall have to agree to disagree. I like SRK, but DDLJ is not a flower pot role nor is it because of him alone when it is clearly carried by 2 people and yes, even the legendary chemistry 😛

I used to love Kajol and she acted well in all those movies with SRK. But now I think she just plays herself. Most of her roles are shouting, screaming, squealing, cackling types which is exactly her own personality. She just comes on set and plays Kajol for the most part.

Apart from that, she hardly ever tried anything else. She's lucky to have a handful of iconic movies playing the same basic role.

Overrated or not,she is still x times more talented than King Khan's current costars...Yeah she is not attractive looking but when did SRK became text book stds for good looks??/ Everyone saw what an epic disaster JTHJ turned out to be...If Kajol has no role in making DDLJ,KKHH a sucess then why Kat devi couldnt recreate the same chemistry with SRK under a legandary director??/...Atleast Kajol was never called a wooden plank in her entire career 😆...She will always be remember as talented actress with substance than a flowerpot or glamdoll 😛😆...If DP can win for CE over Sonakshi,Nimrit and Anushka can with best supporting actress for JTHJ over other deserving candidates,Kajol's win is hardly questionable...I thought popularity and reach of character/movie is more important than critical acclaim when it comes to POPULAR awards like Filmfare (reason with which majority here justified DP's win over others)...Oh I forgot different rules and parameters are applied for judgement when it comes to Kajol 😉😆
