Kajol Devgan, the celebrated Bollywood actress, recently commemorated 29 years of her lesser-known film “Udhaar Ki Zindagi,” reminiscing about its significant impact on her career and personal life. Despite its relative obscurity among the general audience, the film holds a special place in Kajol’s heart as she acknowledged its role as a pivotal turning point during the early years of her illustrious acting journey.

In a heartfelt post shared on her Instagram, Kajol acknowledged the film’s profound significance, stating, “For me, it will always be a turning point in my career and my life.” Recounting her experiences during that period, she expressed feeling “burnt out” and realized the need for a shift in her approach towards work and life, leading her to make a critical decision at the age of 20. She emphasized the importance of taking a break and finding a better pace of work, a decision that significantly influenced the trajectory of her career.
