And after having revelled in matrimonial bliss, she is all set to stage an emphatic comeback in Yash Chopra's next venture 'Fanaa', that that means destroyed in love, which will hit the silver screen tomorrow.
Kajol, who has given blockbusters like 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge', 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hain' and Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham' in the past, will be starting her second innings in the Kunal Kohli-directed film, which is a tale of love, trust, betrayal and pain and where she is playing a visually-impaired Kashmiri girl, Zooni Ali Beig.
Matching her step by step in the venture will be the perfectionist actor who is unique in his own individual way. He has already given one blockbuster this year, and if trade reports are to be believed he has delivered one of his finest performances in the Aditya Chopra-produced enterprise.
'Fanaa' stars Aamir Khan in the male lead opposite Kajol. Tabu, Rishi Kapoor and Kiron Kher have marginal roles in the film, while Lara Dutta and Abhishek Bachchan make cameo appearances. Others in the cast include Shiney Ahuja, Gautami Kapoor, Lilette Dubey and Vrajesh Hirjee.
Aamir has already tasted success at the turnstile this year with 'Rang De Basanti' having already been declared a hit. This is after so many years that two films of the midget Khan are seeing the light of the day in the same year.
This is also the first film to have Aamir and Kajol playing lovers. The two powerhouse talented actors previously acted in 'Ishq' but they were not pitted opposite each other in the film.
Fanaa sees Aamir Khan once again working with Yash Chopra after 13 years.
Aamir plays Rehan Qadri, a local guide who has a penchant for poetry. An exuberant man who uses his charm to get his way with girls.
Zooni is full of spirit. She wants to explore life for herself and is not going to let her handicap come in her way. She is leaving home on her own for the first time and wants to make the most of it.
This is where she meets Rehan, the man who will change her life and will himself be changed in the process. Rehan is absolutely besotted by Zooni. Once he gets close to her, he sees beyond her blindness and delves into her soul. He wants Zooni to feel the beauty of this world to the hilt.
But there are other sides of Rehan which Zooni is unaware of.
He knows letting the secret out will take Zooni away from him. But he also fears that her being a part of his life can also destroy her.
Though Aamir has already tested his vocal cords in films earlier, it will be the first time Kajol will be lending her voice to a song in the film. Other songs have been rendered by Sonu Nigam, Sunidhi Chauhan, Babul Supriyo and Mahalaxmi Iyer.
Shot extensively in Delhi, Poland and Kashmir, the film is one of the most eagerly awaited ventures of the year.
