From Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat to Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Saathiya and Ghulam, Rani Mukerji has shined bright with her acting mettle no matter what her role is. She leaves us hypnotised as if these characters were written for her or a part of her real life.
The actress is 45 years old and has chosen to do age-appropriate roles that are not only powerful but also prove her versatility.
With her recently released movie Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway, she has once again left the audiences in awe of her impeccable performance that made the audiences stand up and clap for her role as Debika Chatterjee based on a real life woman whose story she brought to life on screen.
In this emotional story that brought people to tears, Rani Mukerji perfectly glides into the shoes of Sagarika Chakraborty, the woman on whose real-life story the film is based on. She excels as a flawed yet feisty mother who will go to any lengths for her children. Her acting leaves a lump in your throat along with a sense of pain and agony.
In the character of a robust journalist who tries her best to bring justice to the family of a girl who was killed at a night club in Delhi, she proves she can take on any role and master it on the big screen.
In the role of a deaf-blind-mute girl, Rani as Michelle showed us her relationship with her teacher Debraj, who is later diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. With no dialogues at all, she nailed the role to perfection. Did you know the film was first offered to Kareena Kapoor but she rejected it for reasons better known to her?
With this one, Rani proved that the role of cops were not just tailored for male actors. One of the iconic characters, Rani chases the bad guys as she discovers a human trafficking racket and solves the case.
In this one, Rani aims to normalise conversations around Tourette Syndrome, a neurological condition that is attributed to genetic and environmental factors. She gives a heartwarming performance as Naina who doesn¡¯t give up on her dreams. This one will definitely cheer you up.
One of the highest grossing movies of 2012, Talaash marked the comeback of the hit pair Aamir and Rani on the screen. In this one, Rani essayed the role of a mother mourning the loss of her 8-year-old child while she also struggled with her dying marriage. Her realistic performance made us feel the pain too.
Sequel to 2014 movie, Rani made a comeback in the role of super cop and once again highlighted the gruesome crimes against women. In this gritty thriller, she showed an ugly side of the society that we usually run away from. In this, Shivani Shivaji Roy locks horns with Sunny who has a penchant for sexually assaulting girls.
The movie is known for the romance and eternal love between Veer Pratap Singh and Zara Hayat Khan, played by Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta, Rani¡¯s earnest performance as Saamiya Siddiqui who moves mountains for absolute strangers is highly underrated.?
