Kajol, who celebrates her 45th birthday today, has proved her versatility in not only her career choices but by consciously working on her fitness and style, as she herself often confesses. The mother of two takes the cake in re-inventing and staying relevant. She looks more radiant and stylish than before and is almost always glamorous whenever she steps out — be it Durga Pujo celebrations or a vacation with family or film promotions or advertisements.

Kajol made her acting debut in 1992 with the film Bekhudi opposite Kamal Sadanah which tanked at the Box Office. She tasted first commercial success with Baazigar opposite Shah Rukh Khan in 1993.

Kajol’s natural beauty as a young teen has been admired by many. Take a look. But, when Kajol was seen with fairer skin tone after a long time, rumors spread that the actor had undergone skin lightening treatment to get a fairer look. But, rubbishing the rumors, Kajol clarified that the change in her skin tone is due to de-tanning, and not surgery.
