Kajol
made
her
acting
debut
at
the
age
of
17
in
the
1992
film
Bekhudi.
At
the
time
when
the
filmmakers
wanted
their
leading
ladies
to
be
fair,
tall
and
thin,
Kajol
came
across
as
a
whiff
of
fresh
air.
The
spunky
teenager
blantantly
broke
the
norms
of
beauty
with
her
dusky
complexion
and
unibrow.
With
her
profound
acting
skills
and
magnetic
screen
space,
Kajol
went
on
to
become
one
of
the
sought-after
heroines
in
the
90s.
She
worked
with
stars
like
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
Salman
Khan,
Aamir
Khan,
Ajay
Devgn
and
others
and
give
us
many
memorable
films.
Recently,
while
speaking
to
Netflix,
Kajol
revealed
that
it
took
her
many
years
to
see
herself
as
'beautiful',
despite
being
very
confident
about
herself.
The
actress
further
said
though
she
considered
herself
smart,
cool,
sexy
and
attractive,
'beautiful'
was
an
adjective
she
could
not
associate
with
herself.
The
Kabhi
Khushi
Kabhie
Gham
actress
recalled
what
her
grandmother,
late
actress
Shobhna
Samarth
had
told
her
and
said,
"The
idea
of
seeing
the
beauty
in
imperfection
is
something
my
grandmother
tried
to
instil
in
me
at
a
very
young
age.
She
was
considered
one
of
the
great
beauties
of
her
time,
but
she
always
told
me,
'It's
my
slight
cockeye
that
makes
me
beautiful!'
Yet,
it
was
many
years
before
I
could
look
at
myself
in
the
mirror
and
go,
'You
are
beautiful!'
Talking
about
how
it
took
her
a
long
time
to
consider
herself
beautiful,
Kajol
continued,
"Don't
get
me
wrong
-
I
was
very
confident
in
my
skin
growing
up.
There
were
many
adjectives
I
applied
to
myself:
attractive,
smart,
cool,
sexy
even.
But
I
didn't
consider
myself
beautiful.
A
lot
of
it
had
to
do
with
what
everybody
was
spouting
at
that
time.
It
took
me
a
long
time
to
arrive
at
'beautiful'."
"Today,
it's
an
entirely
different
thing.
I
don't
mean
to
sound
conceited
but
I
often
catch
myself
in
the
mirror
or
in
a
selfie
and
I'm
like,
'Wow...
I'm
stunning!
I
hope
women
everywhere
are
having
similar
conversations
with
themselves," the
actress
signed
off.
Kajol's
recent
Netflix
release
Tribhanga,
has
been
receiving
a
lot
of
love
and
appreciation
from
the
critics
and
the
audience.
The
film
which
marks
Renuka
Shahane's
Hindi
directorial
debut,
also
stars
Tanvi
Azmi
and
Mithila
Palkar
in
key
roles.
