Rani Mukerji’s Top 10 Performances

Rani Mukerji seems ready to prove she’s still got the fire with her latest offering, Mardaani.

It’s the ultimate Bollywood cliche.

Still, Rani Mukerji never thought of becoming an actress.

Even though she belonged to a film family — her father Ram Mukerji is one of the founders of Filmalaya Studios — Rani wasn’t drawn to the world of glamour until family friend and filmmaker Salim Akhtar approached her to play the central role in Raja Ki Aayegi Baarat.

Despite its feeble feminist theme and tacky production values, the young actress and her throaty dialogue delivery made an impression.

Rani quickly followed it up with a spunky delivery as Aamir Khan’s love interest, better known as the ‘Aati Kya Khandala’ girl, in Vikram Bhatt’s superhit Ghulam.

Following Karan Johar’s Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, where she held her own against two bonafide stars — Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol — there was no looking back for the light-eyed beauty and she graduated from a dazzling star to critic’s darling.

In a career that’s just a few years short of touching two decades, Rani has experienced all sorts of highs and lows. The rat race is no longer important for the 36-year-old, who recently tied the knot to longtime beau and filmmaker Aditya Chopra.

But in an industry, which is always ready to ring out the old in favour of the new, Rani is ready to prove she’s still got the fire with her latest offering, Mardaani.

Meanwhile, here’s a look at her Top 10 performances.

Saathiya

With Shaad Ali’s Saathiya, a remake of Mani Ratnam’s marital drama Alaipayuthey, Rani excelled like never before.

Her faultless understanding of a woman in love rebelling against everyone she holds dear to marry her sweetheart and then coping with her dreams and the reality brims with pluck and feeling.

No wonder she looked home in the similarly themed Chalte Chalte.
