Kajal Aggarwal filmography
Kajal Aggarwal is an Indian actress who primarily appears in Telugu and Tamil films, alongside Hindi films.
She made her debut with a minor role in the Hindi film Kyun! Ho Gaya Na... (2004). Aggarwal debuted in Telugu cinema with Lakshmi Kalyanam (2007), and was a box office failure. The year's other Telugu film, Chandamama, became a commercial success.[1] Her first Tamil release Pazhani came the following year. The next year, she had four releases. One of them, S. S. Rajamouli's Telugu film Magadheera - became a major breakthrough for her, and earned her a Filmfare Award for Best Actress – Telugu nomination. Aggarwal's first release of 2010 was the romantic comedy Darling, which became a commercial success at the box office,[2] and earned her another Filmfare nomination for Best Actress in Telugu. Her other two releases of the year — the Tamil thriller Naan Mahaan Alla and the romantic comedy Brindavanam - were also successful, with the latter fetching her the CineMAA Award for Best Actress. In 2011, she appeared in Mr. Perfect, which earned her a third Filmfare nomination for Best Actress in Telugu. In the same year, she starred in the Hindi film Singham, a remake of the 2010 Tamil film Singam and she received a Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut nomination. Aggarwal's performance in AR Murugadoss' Thuppakki (2012) won her the CineMAA Award for Best Tamil Actress, and Govindudu Andarivadele (2014) earned her a fourth Filmfare nomination for Best Telugu Actress. She made her television debut with the Tamil-language streaming series Live Telecast (2021).
