Rani engaged to Aditya Chopra? Nobody knows for sure

Mumbai, Jun 20: Is Rani Mukherjee engaged to Aditya Chopra? Speculation among news agencies is rife, as rumour mills continue spinning off stories about the couple.

Reports claim that Rani Mukherjee, 29, got engaged to producer-director Aditya Chopra, son of veteran filmmaker Yash Chopra, in a quiet ceremony at Chopra's Juhu bungalow.

Industry sources were quoted saying that the ceremony was attended by close friends and family, and that no date has been set for the wedding.

The information is however unconfirmed as yet, even as certain agencies went ahead to deny the rumour, while noting that Rani and Aditya are said to have been seeing each other for two years now.

Aditya is in the middle of a divorce from his estranged wife Payal Khanna, and his family is apparently unhappy about his decision.

Tabloid reports even added that Yash Chopra has threatened to disinherit Aditya from the Rs.1,000 crore Yash Raj Film empire if he does marry Rani - Yash Raj Films were quick to deny this report too, saying the father-son relationship continues to be cordial.

The chemistry between Rani and Aditya was supposedly sparked off on the sets of his home production Saathiya. Rani was later cast in several films produced under the Yash Raj banner, including Mujhse Dosti Karoge, Hum Tum, Veer-Zaara, Bunty Aur Babli, and Tara Rum Pum.

She's also got a role in the soon to be released Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, and is currently working on only three films in all.

Aditya Chopra, who is known to be a recluse, and is credited with transforming Yash Raj studios into Bollywood’s biggest film conglomerate, has rarely ever been spotted together with the actress.

Yash Raj Films spokespersons have reportedly denied the engagement, saying the reports are false, while Rani and Aditya are not available for comment
