Rani Mukerji, a talented Indian film actress, was born on March 21, 1978. She first stepped into the world of acting with the film Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat in 1997, marking the beginning of her illustrious career.
Mukerji's breakthrough role came in 1998 with Karan Johar's romantic film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, which not only brought her commercial success but also earned her a Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award. The film's massive success catapulted her to stardom, and she went on to star in several films, although most of them failed to meet expectations.
However, in 2002, Mukerji reinvented her image with the critically acclaimed drama Saathiya, which earned her numerous awards and nominations. Her subsequent performances in the hit film Hum Tum in 2004 and the critically acclaimed Yuva that same year solidified her position as a leading actress, as she took home the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress awards at the 50th Filmfare Awards, becoming the first actress to achieve this feat.
Mukerji's portrayal of a blind, deaf, and mute woman in the 2005 film Black earned her widespread acclaim and numerous major awards. Since then, she has established herself as a leading actress in Hindi cinema, known for her versatility and range.
