Rani Mukerji
Indian actress who works in Bollywood movies.
The kiss with Kamal Haasan [in Hey! Ram] was mechanical. He was constantly checking the right angle. Where was the passion?
All these years she has been in touch with me nearly every day without expecting anything in return. She's like my kid sister. I feel that much more for her because her love for me is unconditional. That eclipses her other equally important ability as an actor. Her strengths as human being will always be more important to me. Today she's a rock-solid professional.
Yes. Women characters are once again assuming significance in films. Karan Johar, Sanjay Bhansali and Yash uncle conceive wonderful women characters. In the ’50s and ’60s, Bimal Roy and Guru Duttji wrote beautiful roles for heroines. You couldn’t take your eyes off a close-up of Waheedaji, Nargisji, Nutanji or Meenaji. Times are changing again. The Bhansali-shot close-ups of Ash and Madhuri in Devdas were awesome.
Salman was so sweet. He helps you whenever you're in trouble, whether thats personally or professionally. He'll help you with your scenes in the film, with your dialogs and also give friendly advice. I have worked with him in a few films and it's always been great. I'm looking forward to working with him again!
Both Shah Rukh and Aamir have taught me a lot. I used to be their fan. I had seen all their movies. Once I had even taken Aamir's autograph! Then all of a sudden, I was facing the camera with him! The way these two looked after me and saw me through my initial scenes is something I can never forget.
It's so wonderful working with him. What fun we had! Saif and I have grown together as actors. Hum Tum was a breakthrough film for both of us. It got me my first best actress award. The film bonded us. He has come a long way from Hum Tum to Ta Ra Rum Pum.
I am here to act, entertain and make good films. I don't want to work hard for a film which does not even get released. I will cooperate with my director and help him make a good film. I get disappointed if my co-actors don't put in as much as I do. Today I am looking for banners and costars who have the same goal as me --- to work towards making a good film with dedication. I have made mistakes in my career, but that is just the learning process.
Rani is the best co star I've ever worked with. She is beautiful and a brilliant actor.
She's my good luck charm. Every film we did together was a big hit. I am sure 'Kabhi Alvidaa Na Kehna' would also be a success.
Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak: I was in school when I fell in love with the Aamir-Juhi pair. It was my first experience of love on-screen.
I think, firstly, she, like, made the most amazing pair with Saif. There was such a dearth in the industry when she was not working inbetween. Like whenever I see Hum Tum-whenever Saif see's a film, a love story, he always says, "My God. Rani Mukerji." She is such a fantastic actress. She is a true talent and I love her. Besides, personally also, I think she's fantastic. I love talking to her. We always share a few laughs whenever we meet. So I really, really do, honestly, love Rani.
Rani Mukerji has the most beautiful eyes in the world.
Rani is my favouritest actress. She is the Queen. And she's also my best friend.
I agree I have great screen chemistry with Rani. I was watching ‘Hum Tum’ the other day and I just think it’s a magical movie in parts. I think she’s a phenomenal actor and she brings something really special to the screen, for which I respect her a lot. It is competitive for me to be working with her because I actually want to be better than her because she is so very good.
Right from the start, director Aziz Mirza wanted Rani. She heard a full narration of the script before me. But she was doing what she thought was a similar film [Saathiya]. Though I had worked with her in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, I had never done a full-fledged role with her. She began her career with me in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. She was supposed to do Dil Se with me as well. Chalte Chalte has given her a role worthy of her talent.
My favourite costars are Kajol and now Rani Mukerji. They're very natural actresses and act spontaneously."
I’m happy Black is a hit. It marks my hat-trick after Hum Tum and Veer-Zaara.
Salman Khan is probably one of the most good looking people we have in our industry.
I admit I did Mangal Pandey for Aamir. I can never say no to Aamir or Shahrukh.
I’ve just gone through a life-changing experience. It’s called Black… Mr Bachchan’s is the best performance I’ve seen by a male actor. And Rani? My God! When I remember how I’d scream instructions at her during Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, I wonder what I was doing! Rani has surpassed not just her contemporaries but almost everything done by actresses in our cinema in the last 50 years.
