Shahrukh Khan has said that he owes much of his success to two of his famous co-stars—Kajol and Rani Mukerji (who is Kajol’s second cousin). Therefore, it’s only fitting that one of King Khan’s favorites has a first name that means “queen.” However, while Rani is a leading Bollywood actress, she’s always had a shaky claim to the top. She started in film in 1996 and had her first big hit in 1998 with Shahrukh and Kajol in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Her other successes include Saathiya (2002), Chalte Chalte (2003), Veer-Zaara (2004), Bunty Aur Babli (2005), and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006). She’s been critically praised for her exceptional performances in such films as Yuva (2004) and Black (2005), and she’s won many awards throughout her career. However, she’s had her fair share of bombs as well. The spirited, adorable actress has been romantically linked with many, but she refuses to discuss her private life.
