Rani Mukerji, who made her acting debut in the Hindi film industry with Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat turns 45 on March 21.?
She has delivered some of the most iconic movies in Bollywood such as Ghulam and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, which established her as one of the top actresses of the time.?
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai earned her the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress. However, Rani Mukherji was not very confident about her Bollywood career when she initially started out. She did not believe that she could become a heroine like Sridevi, Juhi, Madhuri or Rekha.??
During an interview with India Today in 2021 Rani shared, "I never thought I fit into the heroine category in the typical sense. I am actually the opposite of a heroine. I am quite short in height, my voice is not heroine-friendly, the complexion of my skin is wheatish. I think when I started, I never believed I could be an actor."
"I grew up watching Sridevi, Juhi, Madhuri and Rekha ji, who were these screen goddesses and I never imagined myself up there with them," Rani Mukherji was further quoted as saying by the media outlet.??
Moreover, it was Rani Mukherji's mother who wanted the actress to join the film industry. In the film Ghulam, Rani's voice was dubbed.?
She felt her petite stature could not make her what she is today. But the actress eventually received her industry colleagues like Aamir Khan and Kamal Haasan.?
Rani has made a comeback to the big screen with the latest Hindi movie Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway, which focuses on how a mother in Norway fights against a country to get back the custody of her children.??
Actor Anirban Bhattacharya has been paired opposite Rani Mukherji as her husband in the intense human drama, which was released on March 17, 2023.?
