Timeline

1978

Rani Mukerji (pronounced ; born 21 March 1978) is an Indian actress who works in Hindi films.

Noted for her versatility, she is the recipient of multiple accolades, including eight Filmfare Awards.

Mukerji was born in Bombay (present-day Mumbai) on 21 March 1978.

Her father, Ram Mukherjee (born to the Mukherjee-Samarth family), was a former film director and one of the founders of Filmalaya Studios.

Her mother, Krishna Mukherjee, is a former playback singer.

Her elder brother, Raja Mukherjee, is a film producer and director.

Her maternal aunt, Debashree Roy, is a Bengali film actress and her paternal cousin, Kajol, is a Hindi film actress and her contemporary.

Another paternal cousin, Ayan Mukerji, is a scriptwriter and film director.

Despite her parents and most of her relatives being members of the Indian film industry, Mukerji was uninterested in pursuing a career in film.

She said, "There were already too many actresses at home and I wanted to be someone different".

Mukerji received her education at Maneckji Cooper High School in Juhu and graduated with a degree in Home Science from SNDT Women's University.

She is a trained Odissi dancer and began learning the dance form while in the tenth grade.

As part of an annual tradition, the Mukherjee family celebrates the festival of Durga Puja in the suburban neighbourhood of Santacruz every year.

Mukerji, a practising Hindu, takes part in the festivities with her entire family.

1994

In 1994, director Salim Khan approached Mukerji to play the lead female role in his directorial, Aa Gale Lag Jaa.

Her father disapproved of a full-time career in film at such a young age, so she rejected the offer.

1996

Born into the Mukherjee-Samarth family, Mukerji dabbled with acting as a teenager by starring in her father Ram Mukherjee's Bengali-language film Biyer Phool and in the social drama Raja Ki Aayegi Baaraat (both 1996).

At age 18, following her mother's suggestion that she pursue acting on an experimental basis, Mukerji accepted leading roles in the social drama Raja Ki Aayegi Baaraat, Khan's second offer to her, and her father's Bengali film Biyer Phool, both of which were released on the same day in October 1996.

Before she began work on Raja Ki Aayegi Baaraat, Mukerji trained at Roshan Taneja's acting institute.

She portrayed a rape victim who is forced to marry her rapist in the film.

Although the film was a commercial failure, Mukerji's performance earned her a special recognition trophy at the annual Screen Awards ceremony.

Following the film's poor showing at the box office, Mukerji returned to college to complete her education.

However, inspired by her cousin Kajol's success in Hindi films, she decided to pursue a full-time career in films.

1998

Mukerji had her first commercial success with the action film Ghulam and breakthrough with the romance Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (both 1998).

In 1998, Mukerji starred opposite Aamir Khan in Vikram Bhatt's action film Ghulam, her first commercial success.

Though her role in the film was brief, the song "Aati Kya Khandala" earned her public recognition.

Due to Mukerji's husky voice, Bhatt had someone with a higher pitched voice dub her lines; Mukerji stated that it was done as her voice "did not suit the character".

In the same year, Karan Johar cast her opposite Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in his directorial debut Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.

The role was originally written for Twinkle Khanna, but when she and several other leading ladies rejected it, Johar signed Mukerji on the insistence of Khan and the filmmaker Aditya Chopra.
