Since her marriage to Ajay Devgn in 1999 and becoming mother to two kids Nysa (2003) and Yug (2010), Kajol keeps an easy-going profile taking breaks in between signing on select films.
The new millennium saw her in hubby's poorly-received home production Raju Chacha. Her contrasting twins in Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi (2001), a remake of Disney's The Parent Trap, didn't fare any better. The same year she made Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham with Karan Johar. Infusing charm and vivacity in the excessively chatty, boisterous girl from Chandni Chowk, Kajol made quite an impression.
After a five-year gap, discounting a fleeting appearance in Kal Ho Naa Ho's Mahi ve, Kajol returned to the movies opposite Aamir Khan in Kunal Kohli's superfluous romance drama, Fanaa (2006). The film was a huge success and everyone was much too happy to see their favourite actress back on screen to crib.
In 2008, she essayed an Alzheimer's patient evoking a image of vulnerability and helplessness in Devgn's directorial debut, U, Me Aur Hum. Despite rave reviews for her work, the melodrama tanked at the BO.

The year ended with three Kajol starrers, My Name is Khan, We Are Family and Toonpur Ka Superrhero. Despite expectations and the usually reliable powerhouse performer, none of them turned out to be as hard-hitting as they one thought. Though MNIK made its money, We are Family, an official remake of Hollywood's Stepmom, was a non-starter. Toonpur Ka Superrhero, which had some live animation as well, failed at the box office too.
