Rani Mukerji Birthday: As attractive as the glitter and glamor of Bollywood looks, the struggle behind it is equally difficult. Here the artists are judged not only on the basis of acting but also on the basis of their complexion, height, voice and personality. In such an environment, there are very few people who are able to convert every criticism into their strength. Rani Mukherjee is one of those few artists who traveled a long and inspiring journey from rejection to becoming a superstar.
Rani Mukherjee turns 47
Rani Mukherjee, born in a Bengali family in Mumbai on 21 March 1978, grew up in a film environment since childhood. His father Ram Mukherjee was a well-known film director, while his mother Krishna Mukherjee was a playback singer. Rani started her career in 1996 with the Bengali film Biyar Phool. After this, in 1997, he stepped into Bollywood with Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat. Although his beginning was not easy, the passion to do something different was clearly visible in him.
When height, color and voice became obstacles
Despite being from a film family, Rani had to face many rejections in the industry. Due to her short stature, dark complexion and heavy voice, many filmmakers did not consider her fit as a lead heroine. Even the famous director Karan Johar had initially rejected him for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. But later on the insistence of Aditya Chopra, he was cast in the film. This film proved to be the biggest turning point of his career.
Journey from flop debut to superhit
Even though Rani’s first Bollywood film was not successful at the box office, her acting definitely caught the attention of the audience and critics. After this, she worked in many films and included herself among the top actresses of the industry. His films include superhit films like Ghulam, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Hum Tum, Veer-Zaara, Black and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna.
Interestingly, in the initial phase of his career, his voice was dubbed in many films because the makers felt that his voice did not suit the screen. But with time this voice became his most distinct identity.
Love story started from restaurant
The love story of Rani Mukherjee and Aditya Chopra is no less than a film. Both of them first met in a restaurant, where Aditya started liking Rani at first sight. At that time, Aditya had made a historical film like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, while Rani was starting her career. Gradually, friendship developed between the two and then this relationship turned into love.
Relationship maintained against family
Initially this relationship did not get the support of Aditya’s father Yash Chopra. It is said that due to this Aditya had to stay away from home for some time. At that time Aditya was already married. He married Payal Khanna in 2001, but they both got divorced in 2009. After this, the relationship between Rani and Aditya came to the fore in public.
Secret wedding in Italy
After keeping their relationship private for a long time, Rani and Aditya got married in a very private ceremony in Italy on 21 April 2014. Only family and close friends attended this wedding. In 2015, their daughter Adira was born. The name ‘Adira’ is a beautiful combination of the names Aditya and Rani.
Property worth crores and royal life
Aditya Chopra is counted among the most successful and richest filmmakers of Bollywood today. His company Yash Raj Films is one of the biggest production houses in the industry. Rani Mukherjee’s net worth is also considered quite impressive. According to reports, her net worth is between Rs 90 crore to Rs 200 crore and she charges around Rs 7 crore for a film.
When the name was associated with Abhishek Bachchan
At one time, Rani Mukherjee’s name was also linked with Abhishek Bachchan. Both of them worked together in many films and their pairing was liked by the audience. It is said that both wanted to get married and Jaya Bachchan also liked Rani. But there was a dispute regarding a scene with Amitabh Bachchan in the film Black, after which there was distance in the relationship between the two families and this relationship ended.
