Biography

About Rani Mukerji

Edited by the community

Indian actress Rani Mukerji has been a leading figure in Hindi cinema since her debut in 1996. Born on March 21, 1978, in Mumbai, Maharashtra, she grew up in a family deeply connected to the Indian film industry, yet she initially had no aspirations to act. Her early roles came in Bengali and Hindi films, including 'Biyer Phool' and 'Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat' (both 1996), before she gained attention in 'Ghulam' (1998) and the blockbuster 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' (1998). A brief setback followed, but 2002's 'Saathiya' marked a turning point, establishing her as a star.

Over the next decade, Mukerji delivered a string of successful romantic films such as 'Chalte Chalte' (2003), 'Hum Tum' (2004), 'Veer-Zaara' (2004), and 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Khehna' (2006), alongside the crime comedy 'Bunty Aur Babli' (2005). She earned critical acclaim for portraying an abused wife in 'Yuva' (2004) and a deaf and blind woman in 'Black' (2005). After a period of mixed results, she rebounded with 'No One Killed Jessica' (2011), followed by successes in 'Talaash' (2012), 'Mardaani' (2014) and its sequel 'Mardaani 2' (2019), and the comedy-drama 'Hichki' (2018), which became her highest-grossing release.

Mukerji's work has earned her seven Filmfare Awards and recognition among the highest-paid actresses of the 2000s. Beyond acting, she is involved in humanitarian causes, speaking out on issues affecting women and children. She has participated in concert tours and stage shows, and served as a talent judge on the reality show 'Dance Premier League' in 2009. She married filmmaker Aditya Chopra, and the couple has a daughter. At 48, she remains an active and respected presence in Indian cinema. She stands 5'3" and maintains an average build. She is straight. She is active on Instagram, where her follower count is 458k.
