[sửa] Early life and family background
Main article: Mukherjee-Samarth Family
She comes from a film-clan family of Bengali origin: Her father, Ram Mukherjee is a retired director. Her mother Krishna used to be a playback singer, while her brother Raja Mukherjee is a film producer. Her maternal aunt is Debashree Roy, a popular Bengali cinema actress. The popular Bollywood actress, Kajol, is her second cousin, along with Sharbani Mukherjee (Kajol's paternal cousin).
Soon after graduating from Maneckjee Cooper High School in Juhu, she received a few film offers and moved to Mumbai to pursue a career in acting.
[sửa] Career
She began her film career with the Bengali film Biyer Phool. Her first Hindi film was Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat (1996), which did not do well at the box office. However, her next two releases - Ghulam and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) - were hits.[2] For the latter she received her first Filmfare Award in the Best Supporting Actress category.[3]
Mukerji was in great demand after these successes and signed contracts to appear in many new films. Unfortunately, most of the resulting movies were only average to poor performers at the box office. Her career seemed to be stalled. Then the critical and commercial success of the 2002 film Saathiya again made her a hot commodity in the Bollywood marketplace.[4]
Saathiya was only the first of a string of successful films.[5] In 2004, her performances in Yuva and the commercially successful Hum Tum earned her more awards - the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award for the former, and the Filmfare Best Actress Award for the latter, the next year.[6] Her performance as a Pakistani female activist lawyer in Veer-Zaara was also praised, and earned her many award nominations.
In 2005, she starred in four high-profile films.[7] Bunty Aur Babli and The Rising were among the biggest grossers of the year.[8] Critics also commented favorably on her work, in particular her performance in Black. [9] These successes established Mukerji as one of the industry's most bankable stars.[10]
Mukerji has been an active stage performer and participated in numerous world tours. Temptations 2004 was her most successful concert, in which she performed alongside Shahrukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Preity Zinta, Arjun Rampal and Priyanka Chopra.[11] She also appeared along with various other Bollywood actors at the Closing Ceremony of the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, as part of a performance showcasing Indian culture, on behalf of the 2010 Commonwealth Games, to be held in Delhi.[12]
Mukerji's biggest success in 2006 has been Karan Johar's Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. The movie was successful at the box office and had the highest opening for an Indian movie so far.[13]
[sửa] Personal life
Gossip columnists have credited Rani with romantic involvements with actors such as Govinda[14], Abhishek Bachchan[15] and Aditya Chopra[16]. All parties have, however, strongly denied these rumours.
Ms. Mukerji seems to lead a hard-working and retired life. She appears in the news only for appearances at movie premieres, film festivals, or charity affairs. Home is important to her: in 2006, the actress bought a new house for herself in Juhu, the interior design for which was done by Twinkle Khanna.[17]
Her brother Raja and sister-in-law Jyoti have had a child named Mayesha. The childless actress is said to dote on her niece, whom she lovingly calls 'Mishti' (which means "sweet" in Bengali).[18]
[sửa] Media appearances
The actress was invited by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to dinner in honour of General Pervez Musharraf in New Delhi's Ashoka Hotel on April 16, 2005. Rani Mukerji was the guest of honour at the state dinner. She happens to be Musharraf' and his wife's favorite actress, especially after Veer-Zaara. President Musharraf said to her: "She's very popular there."[19]
Besides acting in films, Mukerji contributes to charitable causes: The Temptations 2005 show in New Delhi helped to raise funds for the National Centre For Promotional of Employment for Disabled People (NCPEDP), a leading disabled rights' group. Shahrukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra were also amongst the many who contributed to this cause.[20]
In 2006, Mukerji celebrated her birthday with the students of The Helen Keller Institute for the Deaf and Blind, whom she had befriended while doing research for her role as a blind and deaf girl in Black. She has also given credit for her award-winning performance in that movie to the students.[21]
On November 1st 2006, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, visited the Yash Raj Studios for lunch and a tour of the premises. He was in India to promote the UK as an attractive business destination for investors. Rani Mukerji was invited to greet him among other actors.[22]
[sửa] Controversy
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".[23] However, in an interview with Timesnow a year later, when Rani was asked about idolizing Adolf Hitler, she denied ever mentionning Hitler's name.[24]
In November 2006, Rani was shooting a film in Varanasi when avid fans crowded the set. Security personnel beat the crowd back with lathi (sticks). A media storm followed, as various groups insisted that Rani should have stopped the security guards. Rani issued a guarded apology. [25]
