Then came 2020, and the lockdown changed everything. In a surprise announcement that delighted fans, Kajal revealed she was marrying Gautam Kitchlu—a successful entrepreneur and the founder of a design and tech firm.
Think back to the Magadheera era. Photos from this period show a young Kajal with minimal makeup, long flowing hair, and traditional south Indian silk sarees. There’s a specific candid shot from the sets of Brindavanam —laughing with NTR Jr.—that captures her infectious, unguarded energy. These images remind us why directors cast her as the ideal "village belle" or the "college sweetheart." She wasn’t just beautiful; she was approachable.
When you think of South Indian cinema’s reigning queens, a few names spark instant recognition. Among them, Kajal Aggarwal holds a special place—not just for her timeless beauty or her impressive filmography, but for the unique warmth she brings to the screen. For over a decade and a half, she has been the face of million-dollar smiles, blockbuster hits, and some of the most memorable romantic pairings in Indian cinema.
As her career progressed, so did her photoshoot aesthetics. By the time Baadshah and Temper released, Kajal’s look evolved. High-fashion editorials saw her trading cotton sarees for sleek gowns and sharp blazers. A particular photo from a Filmfare shoot around 2015—where she sports a messy bun, smoky eyes, and a crimson lip—went viral for redefining her brand. She proved she could do the "hot song" with equal parts sass and substance.
