Kajal Aggarwal-South Indian Cinema Star

Kajal Aggarwal, who is now popularly known as Kajal Kitchlu in India, happens to be one of the most popular names, especially in the Telugu or Tamil film industries back then. By this time, she was just starting in the bustling Mumbai metropolis before heading down south.

Early Education in Context of Life: 1985–2004

On June 19, 1985, Kajal was born in Amritsar. She was born to indigenous Punjabi parents. Her father’s name is Vinay Aggarwal. He is a big shot in the textile business, but the mother, on the other hand, is good at baking and ensures Kajal Aggarwal is on track regarding her career. Kajal also has a young little sister known as Nisha Aggarwal in the film world.

Kajal went to St. Anne's High School while she was staying at Jai Hind College. This, however, was after completing her pre-university education at Jai Hind College. It is important to note that she majored in media and marketing during her undergraduate years at Kishinch and Chellaram College, specializing in advertising and marketing. This knowledge could help us grasp her advertising campaigns and career choices, which have seen her become one of the cleverest business minds around town. 

In the years to come, Kajal set off down south, where the lively film industries of Telegu and Tamil awaited her presence. She entered the Telegu film industry in 2007 with her debut film, Lakshmi Kalyanam. This movie got a mixed reception. However, in the same year, she got an opportunity to act in the Chandamama movie produced by Krishna Vamsi, This served as a breakthrough because it changed her acting career for the better due to people appreciating how good she was at her job and praising her highly.

Becoming a star in the Telugu and Tamil film industry (2008–2016)

Kajal entered the Tamil and Telugu film industries through Chandamama’s success. Pazhani was her debut Tamil movie, and she also did a cameo in the popular film Saroja of the same year. It was after that era that she started proving herself a star by associating with top artists like Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu, among others, including Nagarjuna, with whom she had not worked previously.

When some of her great movies in Telugu, like “Magadheera” of 2009, became big hits, Kajal became a top star since, among her peers, none could compete with such a breakthrough. Also, through other movies such as Darling (2010), Brindavanam (2010), Mr. Perfect (2011), Businessman (2012), and Naanban (2012) in Tamil, her fame increased.

Versatility and Continued Success (2017-Present)

Kajal is very versatile, as seen in the kind of roles she plays. She played the role of a ghost in Darling, a village belle in Brindavanam, and a corporate woman in Mr. Perfect 2716. And such adaptation capability in characterization keeps her audience in suspense.

Although her movie appearances have been less frequent of late, Kajal remains a recognizable personality. She later married businessman Gautam Kitchlu in 2019. Their son, Neil, came into this world two years later. Nevertheless, “Comali” (2018) was just one of the most powerful acts she ever brought to our screens, despite her busy schedule. The aforementioned statement could be associated with the latest movie, “Hey Sinamika,” where she played the main character in 2020. Still, this film served as her final project as an actress, according to her.
