Mumbai, March 6 (TIWN) She ruled hearts with her celebrated roles in "Baazigar", "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge", "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai", "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...", "My Name Is Khan" among several others. From being the Bollywood heroine who broke all stereotypes of image to become a superstar, Kajol also marks a huge change in her digital debut with the short film "Devi", where she shares screen space with nine other actresses. She says she is at a point in her career where impact of the character matters more than length of the role.
In a three-decade mainstream career in Bollywood, she has proved herself as an actor and a star time and again. What does she look for in a script now? “The magic,” she replied. “Give me three scenes and I can create magic. I do not need a title role where all I have is the title, a poster and, in the whole film, I am furniture. If you look at my career and choice of roles, I have always done something where the character has an emotional graph, something substantial. I want to create a memory in the mind of the audience through the characters I portray. That is precisely the reason I keep saying that I have to like the script. If the character I am offered is not impacting me how will it impact the audience? So, if you think I am choosy, I would say, I am living the life of an artist that I have earned through years of hard work,” Kajol added, while speaking to IANS. Starting her career in 1992 with “Bekhudi”, Kajol has bagged numerous popular awards and also proved her versatility with a variety of roles. She was equally impressive as the murdered Isha Diwan in the whodunit “Gupt” and the tomboy-turned-glam girl in “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”. She excelled as the mother who lost her only child in religious hatred in “My Name Is Khan”, and she exuded effortless ease playing twin siblings of diametrically opposite nature in “Dushman”. Indeed, there is hardly any experimentation that she is scared to try out.
