MUMBAI: Nowadays, a lot of young individuals are honest about their issues with mental health. Additionally, discussing mental health issues is becoming more common among celebrities. Numerous Bollywood celebrities have recently opened up about their personal challenges, ranging from anxiety to depression and other issues.

In July 2023, the actress did an ask me anything session with her fans on her Instagram, in which she was asked a variety of questions about her personal and professional life. After one fan asked her if she had been through depression, Kajal wrote, “Yes I did. It’s normal and the person going through it needs family support the most. Removing time for yourself helps a lot. Doing your favourite activity, a quick workout (under supervision), a quick catch up for coffee with your besties – is therapeutic!” Kajal gave birth to her son Neil in April 2022, 18 months after her marriage to businessman Gautam Kitchlu. Crediting her husband for helping her get through that phase, the actress added, “Thankfully I got over it soon enough, Courtesy, my very understanding family. Gave my husband a tough time when I was going through it though.”

Growing up, Kajal had no interest in acting at all. She was born into a Punjabi household in Mumbai. Rather, Kajal had aspirations of pursuing an MBA, ideally from one of the IIMs. After completing her degree in mass media with a focus on marketing and advertising, Kajal was unable to follow her aspirations of pursuing an MBA. Kajal made her screen debut as an extra in the Vivek Oberoi and Aishwarya Rai film Kyun Ho Gaya Na while she was still a college student. She didn't, however, begin her career as a lead actress until after she graduated. Lakshmi Kalyanam, which was released in Telugu in 2007, was her debut leading role. Hits like Chandamama, Magadheera, Darling, Singham, Businessman, and Thuppakki brought her success later.
