Rani Mukherjee is an actress who can be credited as the queen of bollywood, not only because of her first name which means ‘the Queen’ in Hindi and Bengali but also due to the kind of image that she had developed during all these years in the Indian film industry.

Her first Hindi movie was ‘Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat’ in 1996 and it was a big flop. Everybody considered her as a goner with her first movie crash landed, but she wasn’t ready to give it up and she was right, success wasn’t too far away. Two years later in 1998 she signed an Aamir Khan movie called ‘Ghulam’ which was a big hit of that year and her role in the movie as Alisha received much praise. But Rani’s career was about to take a hard twist, a huge international hit was waiting for her in the form of ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hain’ in the same year. With the huge success of the movie her star value skyrocketed and she was right there in the line of main stream actresses of bollywood. Once she got the start she never looked back, with her trademark husky voice, beautiful eyes and of course the talent she has become one of the most popular bollywood actresses of all time. Since her start in 1996, Rani has appeared in nearly 40 films.

Rani was born in March 21, 1978 in West Bengal, India. She is coming from a movie oriented family, her father Ram Mukherjee is a retired director and her mother is a former playback singer, her maternal aunt Debashree Roy was a popular Bengali actress and her cousin Kajol is a bollywood superstar. And another cousin Sharbani Mukherjee also works in movies. Though this movie oriented family background allowed her easy entrance bollywood, she never hesitated to give her hundred percent efforts to each and every project she signed in. her hardworking and trusty nature made her the favorite of many directors and co stars.

She had her high school education at Cooper High School in Juhu. There she used to participate in stage shows and dramas. At the age of 14 she did a cameo role in her father’s Bengali movie called ‘Biyar Phool’. But she never considered acting seriously enough, back then to hinder the studies and she completed high school. After leaving the high, she enrolled in Mithibai College in Mumbai for higher studies. During this period she received several movie offers, one of them was from Salim Akhtar, a family friend for a project named ‘Aa gale lag ja’. But she turned the offer down because her father was against it and Urmila Matondkar played that role instead.

After her 1998 hit ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, she continuously produced mediocre films which kind of affected her star value. In year 2000 she had a hit movie called ‘Badal’ opposite to Boby Deol and it was the highest grossing film of that year and this was a relief for her after a long period of slump. But even the success of Badal did not help to alleviate the hardness of dark clouds of slack which covered her career during the start of the new millenium.

But year 2002 was all too shiny for her as her movie ‘Saathiya’ was a huge hit, it actually climbed up to the list of top five grossing movies of that year. After the success of Saathiya, she signed several movies and most of them performed well both in the box office and in the award functions. In 2003, her new look in Chalte Chalte opposite Shah Rukh Khan was much appreciated. And another movie Veer-zaara was also a hit. After this she had teo successful movies called ‘Yuva’ and ‘Hum Tum’.

In 2005 she did ‘Bunty Aur Babli’, ‘The rising’ and ‘black’, all of these were high profile movies and the way she managed these demanding scripts brought her much praise and the commercial success of these movies lifted her star value much higher. She continued this success in 2006 with hit movie ‘Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna’ directed by Karan Johar. But in the same year her much hyped movie ‘Baabul’ disappointed all with a wimpy performance at the box office.

Her personal life is full of activities, but she is someone who always loved to stay away from controversies and she appears in the news only for appearances at movie premieres, special events, film festivals, award ceremonies, film promotion-related proceedings, or charity work. She is very close to her niece, Mayesha whom she lovingly calls 'Mishti' (which means "sweet" in Bengali). Recently when asked about her idol by a British news paper she mentioned Adolf Hitler and this was enough for Gossip columnists and tabloids to shape a new controversy, but later she denied ever mentioning Hitler’s name.

Her most anticipated release coming up this year is ‘Ta Ra Ram Pum’ with Saif Ali Khan. And her other movie to release in 2007 is ‘Laga chunari mein daag’ with Abhishek Bachan.

She has won many Filmfare awards including best actress award, supporting actress award and also won several critics awards. Last year she won Filmfare Best Actress Award and Filmfare Critics Award for Best Performance for the movie black. She also is the winner of multiple Star screen awards and Zee cine awards. All these awards rightly give us an idea about the kind of talent she has.
