Date of birth:: 21 March 1978
Birth Place:
She's the daughter of Ram Mukherjee, who directed films like 'Leader' and 'Hum Hindustani'. Her mother used to be a playback singer. Her aunt, Debashree Roy, is a well-known Bengali actress. And of course, her most famous star connection is cousin Kajol.
Her debut, with producer Salim's 'Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat' (1996), turned out to be a bomb. However, this low-budget project did get her some rave reviews.
Besides, her striking screen presence caught the fancy of two very important people. The first was 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' (1998) director Karan Johar, who sought her out for a role that many a star had turned down. The second was Vikram Bhatt (or was it Aamir Khan?), who cast her as the leading lady in 'Ghulam' (1998).
'Ghulam' (which release first) gave her instant fame and a new label: 'The "Aati kya Khandala" girl. Thanks to the huge success of this song and the film itself, Rani hit the big league and found a huge following amongst the masses.
The icing on the cake was 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', a film that had been eagerly awaited for the prospective battle of the Mukherjee cousins. While Kajol was, beyond doubt, the film's heroine, Rani too had her share of meat in the supporting role of Shah Rukh's first wife, Tina.
Suddenly there was a furious debate about exactly what made Rani Mukherjee click (for a raging hit she was, especially with the male population): her daring, baring clothes, her husky voice, or the little peek you got into her acting abilities.
Whatever it was, this film helped Rani zoom into the happening league and suddenly, she was everyone's favourite new star! Even a dud like 'Hello Brother' (1999) couldn't affect her newfound status.
So, Kamal Haasan was picking her out for his epic 'Hey! Ram', Indra Kumar was begging her for dates (via Aamir Khan) to make a guest ppearance in 'Mann' and half a dozen other producers were sitting pretty having already signed her up.
In the second release, 'Hey! Ram', she played Kamal Haasan' Bengali wife Aparna.
