One of our favourite things about Kajol is the passion she brings on screen. The minute she appears, it's like an explosion of emotions.
There's no bidding for favourable camera angles or flattering imagery.
She can be super gregarious or spectacularly graceful but what you see is what you get.
Kajol's come-as-you-are fervour is part of her famously blunt take-it-or-leave-it appeal.
As is her goofy humour, which the self-confessed Sridevi fan cheerfully recognises in the mobility and magnitude of her facial mischief.
Only recently, Kajol, all of 50 on August 5, flaunted her emoji potential on social media to hilarious effect.
What better than celebrating the zestful star's 50th birthday with a fun gallery of her 50 distinctly moody, magical and madcap expressions from a career spanning over three decades?
Sukanya Verma gives some tongue-in-cheek interpretations of the same.
