Ten years ago on this day, a Mumbai-bred girl was seen as the female lead in 'Lakshmi Kalyanam'. She had auditioned for the role with the sole aim of doing something interesting before she can go on to pursue MBA. A few years later, she would become a star actress. A few more years later, she would become a superstar actress. That's the beautifully talented Kajal Aggarwal for you.

"When I did 'LK', I thought I will do just that movie. I thought I will do my MBA, and get back to books. That was to be just a one-off thing that will look so good on my CV. Thank god, that never happened. I love my job. I love what I am doing," the one with the most beautiful smile recently said.

Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, NTR, Allu Arjun, Prabhas, Ram Charan, Ajith, Vijay, Suriya, and none other than Chiranjeevi - the actress has acted opposite all of them. Rajamouli, Puri Jagannadh, Sukumar, Vamsi Paidipally, AR Murugadoss and more - a range of directors have worked with her.

That says it all. She is an actress of remarkable substance.

What's her current state of mind? She is full of gratitude and appreciation. She is not in a hurry. For she indulges the "art of slow living". Acting has led her to discover her strengths.

In the coming years, her fans do expect to see her in versatile roles.
