Who is Kajal Aggarwal?
Kajal Aggarwal (now Kajal A. Kitchlu) is one of Indian cinema’s most versatile and enduring stars, known equally in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi industries across a career spanning over two decades. Born on June 19, 1985 in Mumbai to a Punjabi family with roots in Amritsar, she grew up in the city and studied mass media at Kishinchand Chellaram College. Despite harbouring MBA ambitions, she stepped into modelling and acting — a decision that would make her a household name from Mumbai to Chennai.
Her breakout came with SS Rajamouli’s landmark fantasy epic Magadheera (2009), in which she played a dual role — princess Yuvarani Mitravinda and modern woman Indu — opposite Ram Charan. The film became the highest-grossing Telugu film of all time at that point and earned Kajal a Filmfare Best Actress (Telugu) nomination. She followed it up with a string of massive hits: Brindavanam (2010), Mr. Perfect (2011) with Prabhas, Singham (2011) in Hindi opposite Ajay Devgn, and Thuppakki (2012) with Vijay in Tamil. She has since won three SIIMA Awards, a Filmfare Award, and in 2020 became the first South Indian actress to have a wax figure at Madame Tussauds Singapore.
In October 2020, she married entrepreneur Gautam Kitchlu — founder of the home décor e-commerce platform Desern Living — after a decade-long friendship and three-year relationship. Their son Neil Kitchlu was born in April 2022. She entered 2026 with renewed energy, signing exciting new projects and travelling to Australia with Gautam, calling her experience at Uluru “almost spiritual.”
After a relatively quieter stretch post-motherhood, Kajal has confirmed she has signed exciting new projects heading into 2026. Her film Uma is in post-production, Indian 3 with Kamal Haasan is in post-production directed by Shankar, and Paris Paris — the Tamil Queen remake shot in 2017 — remains unreleased due to legal issues but could finally emerge. She has also been cast in the Telugu web series Vishakha, currently in pre-production.
