Early life and background

Mukerji comes from a film-oriented family of Bengali origin. Her father Ram Mukherjee is a retired director and one of the founders of Filmalaya Studios [cite web|publisher=Rediff.com|title=First-time fumblings|date=November 14, 2007|url=http://specials.rediff.com/movies/2007/nov/14sl8.htm|accessmonthday=December 23 |accessyear=2007] while her mother Krishna was a playback singer. Her brother Raja Mukherjee is a film producer, now turned director. Her maternal aunt, Debashree Roy, is a national award-winning Bengali film actress and her cousin, Kajol, is a popular Bollywood actress.

Mukerji is a trained Odissi dancer, and began learning the dance in the tenth grade. Mukerji studied at "Maneckji Cooper High School" in Juhu, and later enrolled at Mithibai College in Mumbai.

Acting career

Prior work and breakthrough, 1996-2002

After doing a short cameo appearance for the first time in her father's Bengali film "Biyer Phool" (1992), Mukerji made her acting debut four years later, as the protagonist of "Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat" (1996). Her performance as a rape victim in the film was well received, but when the film failed at the box office, she returned to college to complete her education. [cite web|author=Singh, Asha|publisher=The Tribune, India|title=Her talent speaks for itself|date=October 11, 2001|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2001/20011011/main8.htm#2|accessmonthday=July 16 |accessyear=2005]

Mukerji returned to films in 1998. Her first release that year was "Ghulam", opposite Aamir Khan; the film did well at the box office.cite web|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.com|title=Box Office 1998|url=http://boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=204&catName=MTk5OA=|accessmonthday=January 8 |accessyear=2008] Karan Johar's directorial debut, "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai", co-starring Shahrukh Khan and Kajol, followed for her that year. The movie was a blockbuster, and she received her first Filmfare Award in the "Best Supporting Actress" category.

She followed her career by signing on several projects. Unfortunately, most of them did not do well at the box office. Although "Badal" was one of the highest grossing films of 2000, she still didn't succeed to establish her status in the industry at that point of time. [cite web|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.com|title=Box Office 2000|url=http://boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=206&catName=MjAwMA=|accessmonthday=January 8 |accessyear=2008] [cite web|author=Verma, Suparn|title=Rewind... flash forward|date=January 2, 2001|url=http://us.rediff.com/movies/2001/jan/02year.htm|publisher=Rediff|accessmonthday=January 27 |accessyear=2008]

In 2001, Mukerji starred in Abbas Mustan's romantic drama "Chori Chori Chupke Chupke", co-starring Salman Khan and Preity Zinta. The film was released after a one-year delay, and was one of the first Bollywood movies to handle the issue of surrogate childbirth. [cite web|author=Adarsh, Taran|title=Chori Chori Chupke Chupke: Movie Review|date=March 8, 2001|url=http://www.indiafm.com/movies/review/6728/index.html|publisher=Indiafm.com|accessmonthday=January 25 |accessyear=2008] Mukerji's role was that of Priya Malhotra, a woman who is unable to conceive after a miscarriage, thus hires a surrogate mother. Rediff.com wrote, "Rani Mukherji is handicapped with a role that doesn't give her much scope besides weeping and sobbing. To her credit, she manages to hold her own even while playing a stereotypical sacrificing "bhartiya nari"."

In 2002, Mukerji played the lead role in Kunal Kohli's romance "Mujhse Dosti Karoge!", co-starring alongside Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor. Although the movie did not do well in India, it generated great business overseas,cite web|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.com|title=Overseas Earnings (Figures in Ind Rs)

Later that year, Mukerji starred in Shaad Ali's critically acclaimed "Saathiya" opposite Vivek Oberoi. The film was a moderate success and became one of the highest grossing movies of the year.

Manish Gajjar from "BBC" noted, "...Rani Mukerjee...plays the character of a middle class girl with great conviction." [cite web|author=Gajjar, Manish|publisher=BBC|title=Saathiya|date=December 20, 2002|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/shropshire/films/2003/01/saathyia.shtml|accessmonthday=January 25 |accessyear=2008]

Mukerji's first 2003 release was Aziz Mirza's drama "Chalte Chalte" opposite Shahrukh Khan. [cite web|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.com|title=Box Office 2003
url=http://boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=209&catName=MjAwMw=|accessmonthday=January 8 |accessyear=2008] The film saw her play a similar role to that of "Saathiya", and she received her second nomination for Filmfare Best Actress Award.Among another three releases that year, Mukerji starred in "Chori Chori", where she portrayed her first comic role.

In 2004, her performance as a Bengali housewife in Mani Ratnam's "Yuva" won Mukerji her second Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award. Though the film failed to do well,cite web|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.com|title=Box Office 2004
url=http://boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=210&catName=MjAwNA=|accessmonthday=January 8 |accessyear=2008] her performance was critically acclaimed with one critic writing, "the role demanded an actress of substance and Rani more than lives up to the expectations". [cite web|author=Adarsh, Taran|publisher=Indiafm.com|title=Movie Review: Yuva|date=May 21, 2004|url=http://www.indiafm.com/movies/review/7140/index.html|accessmonthday=May 28 |accessyear=2007] She followed through by playing the leading role in the romantic comedy "Hum Tum", which became one of the biggest hits of the year. The film, based on the 1989 film "When Harry Met Sally...", was directed by Kunal Kohli. Mukerji's portrayal of Rhea Sharma, a woman of today's generation, won her several awards, including her first Filmfare Best Actress Award. "BBC" wrote about her performance:

Her last release of the year was Yash Chopra's love saga "Veer-Zaara", co-starring alongside Shahrukh Khan and Preity Zinta. The film, which emerged as the top grossing movie of the year in India and abroad, tells the love story of an Indian officer, Veer Pratap Singh, played by Khan, and a Pakistani woman, Zaara, played by Zinta. Mukerji played the supporting role of Saamiya Siddiqui, a Pakistani lawyer who takes it upon herself to find the truth about Veer Pratap Singh. In 2005, Mukerji starred in four high-profile films: Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Black", Shaad Ali's "Bunty Aur Babli", Amol Palekar's "Paheli" and Ketan Mehta's "". She was primarily noted for her performance in "Black".

Once the director put faith in her, she agreed to do it and intensely studied sign language with professionals at the "Helen Keller Institute" in Mumbai. [cite web|author=Siddiqui, Rana|publisher=The Hindu|title=A dash of sunshine|date=February 3, 2005|url=http://www.expressindia.com/news/fullstory.php?newsid=41522|accessmonthday=December 22 |accessyear=2007] Mukerji received much critical acclaim for her performance and collected numerous trophies in the category of "Best Actress" at various award ceremonies. "IndiaFM" noted, "There's no denying that Rani delivers her best performance to date. With no dialogues in her lap, the actress conveys through expressions solely and what a terrific impact she makes. Here's a performance that should act as a reference guide for all aspiring actors". [cite web|author=Adarsh, Taran|publisher=Indiafm.com|title=Movie Review: Black|date=February 4, 2005|url=http://www.indiafm.com/movies/review/7207/index.html|accessmonthday=April 27 |accessyear=2007] Her next release, "Bunty Aur Babli", surfaced as one of the biggest hits of the year.

url=http://boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=211&catName=MjAwNQ=|accessmonthday=January 8 |accessyear=2008] The film, though successful at the box office, opened to mixed reviews, and so did Mukerji's performance, with one critic writing, "Rani has done a great job most of the time, though she does tend to go a little over the top in the crying scenes. [cite web|publisher=Indiatimes|title=Bunty Aur Babli|url=http://movies.indiatimes.com/Reviews/Bollywood/Bunty_Aur_Babli/articleshow/msid-1124533,curpg-5.cms|date=May 27, 2005|accessmonthday=January 8 |accessyear=2008] Nevertheless, Mukerji received "Best Actress" nominations from the IIFA Awards and Filmfare Awards.

Mukerji was offered the lead role in Mira Nair's Hollywood film, "The Namesake" (2007) but owing to clashing dates with "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna", she could not commit to the project. [cite web|author=Kulkarni, Ronjita|publisher=Rediff.com|title='Namesake is very uncannily my story!'|date=February 7, 2005|url=http://in.rediff.com/movies/2005/feb/07mira.htm|accessmonthday=December 22 |accessyear=2007] Her first release in 2006 was Karan Johar's drama "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna", which consisted of a multi-starrer that included Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Preity Zinta and Kirron Kher. The film opened to mixed reviews but emerged as the most successful movie ever overseas. The film tells the story of two unhappily married couples in New York, which results in an extramarital affair. Mukerji played the role of Maya Talwar, a woman layered with self-doubt and question about the relationship between her and her husband, played by [Abhishek] Bachchan; her performance was well received. Rajeev Masand from "CNN-IBN" concluded, "Rani looks a million bucks and she dives under the skin of her character to make that part one that we will remember for a long time."

Mukerji's next release was B.R. Chopra's "Baabul". The movie did not do well at the box office in India, [cite web|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.com|title=Box Office 2006|url=http://boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=212&catName=MjAwNg=|accessmonthday=January 8 |accessyear=2008] though proved to be a hit overseas. Her role as a widow met with mixed reviews. Mukerji's first 2007 release, "Ta Ra Rum Pum", where she played a pianist turned housewife and a mother for the first time on celluloid, was a semi-hit.cite web|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.com|title=Box Office 2007|url=http://boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=214&catName=MjAwNw=|accessmonthday=January 8 |accessyear=2008] Her performance was generally well received, with one critic noting, "Rani enacts the role of the mother/wife proficiently."

Mukerji's most recent release was Kunal Kohli's "Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic", which released on June 27, 2008. Despite receiving positive reviews from critics, the film failed to do well at the box office.

Personal life

Gossip columnists have linked Mukerji to many industry figures, but she has strongly denied every single rumour of romance.cite web|publisher=AskMen.com|title=Actress of the Week - Rani Mukherjee|url=http://ca.askmen.com/women/actress_300/382b_rani_mukherjee.html|accessmonthday=December 23 |accessyear=2007] Several gossip columns have also claimed that she is regularly in feud with some of the Bollywood actors and actresses, but Mukerji has denied this.

Mukerji changed the English transliteration of her surname from Mukherjee to Mukerji several years ago. At the time, it was reported that she did this for numerological reasons. In 2006, Mukerji stated that numerology was not a concern; her name had been put down as Mukerji on her passport, and she wanted to be consistent.

Mukerji has three homes in Mumbai, including her childhood home. She bought a bungalow in Juhu for herself and her parents in mid-2005. The house went through a two year renovation with the interiors done by Twinkle Khanna and Sussanne Roshan.

Controversies

In June 2005, Mukerji was widely criticized following the publication of an interview with British newspaper "Desi Xpress". Mukerji was asked to name her idol and she replied, "Adolf Hitler".cite web|author=IndiaFM News Bureau|publisher=Indiafm.com|title="If Babul does well, I will give credit to my parents" - Rani|date=November 11, 2006|url=http://www.indiafm.com/features/2006/11/11/1816/index.html|accessmonthday=December 23 |accessyear=2007] However, in an interview with "Times Now" a year later, she denied ever mentioning Hitler's name.

In November 2006, Mukerji was shooting for the film "Laaga Chunari Mein Daag" in Varanasi when avid fans crowded the set. Security personnel beat the crowd back.cite web|author=Mukherjee, Ram Kamal|publisher=Indiatimes|title=Rani renders public apology|date=November 16, 2006|url=http://movies.indiatimes.com/articleshow/msid-460056,prtpage-1.cms|accessmonthday=December 23 |accessyear=2007] A media storm followed as various groups insisted that Mukerji should have stopped the security guards. Mukerji later issued an apology.
