Following her marriage, Kajol took a sabbatical from acting and made a comeback with the commercially successful melodrama, Fanaa (2006), for which she received a fourth Filmfare Award for Best Actress. She continued working infrequently through the rest of the decade, playing leading roles in such films as U Me Aur Hum (2008), We Are Family and My Name Is Khan (both 2010). Her performance in the latter earned her a fifth Best Actress award at Filmfare. Critics opine that she has thus established herself as one of India's most successful and talented female actors.
During her career, Kajol has received six Filmfare Awards, among eleven nominations and along with her late aunt Nutan, holds the record for most Best Actress wins at Filmfare, with five. In 2011, the Government of India honoured her with the Padma Shri for her contribution to Indian Cinema.In addition to acting in films, Kajol is a social activist and was also featured as a talent judge for Zee TV's reality show, Rock-N-Roll Family. She is married to fellow Indian actor Ajay Devgn, with whom she has two children.
