Today BollyCurry celebrates the birthday of two
beautiful divas
who have won millions of hearts with their innocent
yet mischievous looks; the vivacious
Kajol Devgn and the soon to-be
mother, Genelia Dsouza.
Born to Jeanette Dsouza, a former managing director of
the Pharma Multinational Corporation (MNC), and Neil Dsouza, a
senior official with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Dsouza was
raised as a Roman Catholic along with her younger brother, Nigel
D'Souza. She completed her schooling at Apostolic Carmel High
School in Bandra and then went on to pursue her bachelors in Management
Studies at St. Andrew's College, Bandra.
The bubbly lass started her career with modelling at
the age of 15, receiving the height of attention with her Parker Pen
commercial alongside
Amitabh Bachchan. This led to her Bollywood's debut
with
Tujhe Meri Kasam (2003) opposite another newbie, Riteish
Deshmukh. Her debut was followed by the hit comedy movie
Masti
(2004). Post this, Dsouza shifted focus to Southern movies and rapidly became one of the top established Southern heroines with
successful films such as
Boys (2003),
Satyaam (2003),
Samba (2004),
Bommarillu (2006),
Dhee (2007),
Santosh Subramaniam (2008) and
Ready (2008).
After having a successful run in the south nearly for five years, the Dsouza made a comeback to Bollywood with
Mere Baap Pehle Aap (2008), which unfortunately failed to impress the
audience and critics alike. However, she received worldwide recognition
with her performance in the blockbuster
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008) opposite
Imran Khan. The petite actress was last seen in
Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya (2012).
Although the film received mixed reviews from critics, it was well
received by the audience. She also did a cameo role in
Jai Ho
(2014) and
Lai Bhaari (2014).
Dsouza is
currently happily married to actor, producer and architect Riteish
Deshmukh since 2012 and the much in love couple are expecting their
first baby.
To
celebrate Dsouza's birthday with some musical fun, BollyCurry presents to you

Kajol Devgn, born as
Kajol Mukherjee to actress
Tanuja and film director Shomu Mukherjee, was brought up in a
Bengali-Marathi family. She studied at St. Joseph Convent
boarding school in Panchgani but dropped out to pursue a
career in films and never completed her studies.
Devgn started her journey in Bollywood with
Bekhudi
in 1992 at the age of sixteen. Although the film failed at the box
office, her performance was noticed and subsequently she appeared in
Baazigar (1993). A successful run of movies followed these debuts including
Yeh Dillagi (1994),
Karan Arjun
(1995),

(1995),

Post
Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham's release, Devgn took a break
from acting to concentrate on her raising her daughter and returned to Bollywood with a bang after five full years in
Fanaa (2006). After her blockbuster comeback, the beautiful Devgn continued to appear in superhits films
such as
My Name is Khan (2010) and
We
Are Family (2010).
Devgn is currently married to actor, producer
