The most beautiful of the newcomers of the Bollywood and the one who's having a rapid growth towards her career and maturity both as a glamour queen and a performing actress - Rani Mukherjee - was born on 21 Mar '78.

Being a cousin of the most successful actress Kajol, it's obvious that Rani too has got it through her genetic influences to enact the roles she's given. And it's a phenomenon that unless Rani hasn't put loads of concentration and tremendous personal effort in the roles she plays, she wouldn't have been where she is now.

Though she had the introduction into the Bollywood through her first movie "RAJA KI AAYEGI BARAAT", she was in the news with her nonchanlent and wonderful performance in "GHULAM" and with the third movie Rani was in headlines again receiving the "BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS " award from FILMFARE for her active and playful performance in "KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI" thus enhancing herself in the Bollywood.

Rani got the devastating looks, charm and a beautiful face - the one thing that seperates her from the great and successful actress - Kajol. She could act with all the top actors and work with the top class producers and the directors within a span of 5 years. A great achievement for a newcomer like Rani. May be, she's making it upto her name, like a queen.

Awards :
* Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award 1998 for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
