The 1977 flick Hum Kisise Kum Nahin catapulted Kajal Kiran, a Bollywood actress, to fame. She was introduced by Nasir Hussain in this film. This film was a romcom and set the cash registers ringing. However, Kajal’s profession did swing with this film. She had good chemistry with
Rishi Kapoor
in this film. However, it did not boost her film career.
Sunita Kulkarni is the real name of Kajal Kiran. She hails from a Marathi family. Kajal has also worked with
Mithun Chakraborty
in flicks like Humse Badhkar Kaun and Wardaat. These two films were commercially successful. Some of the horror flicks that she worked include Dahsat, Saboot, Saaya and Haveli. She worked in the Malayalam flick Uyarangalil with Mohanlal and Ee Lokam Evide Kure Manushyar with Mammootty. She worked in item numbers and supporting characters at the end of 80s.
Maang Bharo Sajana, Saboot, Lalach, Ek Baar Chale Aao, Karate,
Ghar Sansar
, Bhago Bhut Aaya,Chakkarayumma, Bandham and Sahasa Simha are some of the flicks in which Kajal Kiran worked.
When Kajal was working on the flick Hum Kisise Kum Nahin, she had agreed for a contract. Later filmmakers didn’t cast her in their films assuming that the contract was not over. Ballika Badhu and Aankhiyhon ke Jharoke se were some of the works that she missed due to this. Kajal was patient, but it didn’t fructify. She had the good looks to sustain in the industry but ironically failed to do so.
