Kajol
1974-08-05 at 20:21:00 · Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, the 1995 romance in which Kajol starred opposite Shah Rukh Khan, ran continuously at the Maratha Mandir cinema in Mumbai for more than two decades, the longest theatrical run in the history of Indian film. The story of Simran, a young woman raised in London whose father has promised her to a stranger in Punjab, became a defining film of its generation, and it made Kajol one of the most beloved actresses in India.
She was born Kajol Mukherjee on August 5, 1974, in Mumbai, at 8:21 in the evening, a time Astro-Databank rates A. Pisces is her rising sign, and her Moon and Jupiter, retrograde, are also in Pisces in the first house. Pisces is emotional, intuitive and sensitive, and a first-house Moon puts feelings directly on the face. Kajol is famous for her expressive, unguarded acting, laughing and crying with an openness that audiences found irresistible, and off screen for being outspoken, playful and refreshingly unpolished.
Her Sun is in Leo, the sign of the performer, in the sixth house of work and craft. A Leo Sun in the sixth describes someone whose performing gift is matched by hard work. Kajol made her debut at seventeen in Bekhudi in 1992, leaving school to act, and quickly became a star with Baazigar in 1993.
She comes from a film dynasty. Her mother, Tanuja, was a well-known actress, her father, Shomu Mukherjee, was a director, and her aunt was Nutan, one of the great actresses of Hindi cinema. Kajol went on to win five Filmfare Awards for Best Actress, matching her aunt's total.
Venus and Saturn both sit in Cancer in the fifth house, the house of romance, creativity and children. Venus in Cancer is tender and devoted, and in the fifth it suits an actress best known for romantic roles. Saturn there brings commitment and seriousness to love. Her films with Shah Rukh Khan, including Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and My Name Is Khan, made them one of the most celebrated on-screen pairs in Bollywood history.
Mars in Virgo and Pluto in Libra fall in her seventh house, the house of marriage and partnership. In 1999 she married the actor Ajay Devgn, and they have two children. Kajol has spoken about choosing to step back from films for long periods to focus on family, returning when roles interested her.
Neptune, retrograde in Sagittarius, lies in the ninth house of wider horizons, and her career has reached audiences far beyond India, among the Indian diaspora around the world. In 2011 she received the Padma Shri, one of India's highest civilian honors.
In recent years she has taken on new kinds of roles, including a lawyer in the streaming series The Trial. The Pisces planets on her Ascendant gave her that famously open face; the Leo Sun gave her the stage to show it.
