Rani Mukherjee
Member of the same illustrious film family from which Kajol draws her lineage Rani Mukherjee may still be at a distance from the citadel that houses her cousin. But there is no doubt about the light-eyed Bengali girl's mass appeal. Moreover, Rani Mukherjee is putting all her efforts and working hard to reach there.
Precocious yet innocently oblivious of it, it is the actress's unassuming self which draw friends and well-wishers to her.
Producers made a beeline for Rani Mukherjee's door (she was riding high on the success of Ghulam and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai) and just as Rani Mukherjee was gradually shifting positions towards the top in the popularity charts, she started getting the jolts. Good nature did not really help Rani Mukherjee in gaining stronghold and consolidating her position in Mumbai.
Films like Baadal cast a shadow on her prospects. The film left theatres in India without a whimper. Hope was alive in the form of Hadh Kar Di Aapne, which was in the pipeline. Rani Mukherjee had faith in Govinda and David Dhawan's saleability at the box office. Unfortunately, the film failed to raise a laugh and the cash boxes did not ring.
Rani Mukherjee tried to remain unfazed. She was looking towards the future and Hey Ram. As an actress, Rani Mukherjee was proud to be associated with an actor-director of Kamal Haasan's caliber and was thrilled to have Hey Ram in her lap. Even Hey Ram did not propel her career to the extent Rani Mukherjee had expected. There wasn't any critical appreciation of her performance in the film. Infact, Rani Mukherjee's fans became aloof when they saw their favorite actress locked in a passionate kiss in the film.
The actress does not regret though. ''I wanted to work with Mr. Kamal Haasan. The rest did not matter'' Rani Mukherjee said in an interview some time ago.
Rani Mukherjee has since appeared in hits like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001), Saathiya (2002), Chalte Chalte (2003), Hum Tum(2004), and Veer-Zaara (2004).
Paheli, while only moderately successful, was India's official entry to the 2006 Oscars.
Rani Mukherjee has also performed in Shahrukh Khan's touring stage show, Temptations 2004, as a prominent member of an all-star lineup.
In February 2005, Filmfare Magazine published her face among the "Ten Most Powerful Names of Bollywood"; she was the only woman to receive such an honor. Rani Mukherjee was ranked eighth on the Power List in February 2006, configuring the highest ranking for a woman. Rani Mukherjee was also ranked number one in the Filmfare Top Ten Actresses' listing both years, 2004 and 2005.
