Rani engaged to Aditya Chopra. Rumor or Reality?

It's been only two months since the Abhishek Bachchan-Aishwarya Rai wedding, and now comes news of another Bollywood leading lady who will soon be tying the knot.

Industry insiders are saying that Rani Mukherjee is engaged to be married to producer-director Aditya Chopra, son of veteran filmmaker Yash Chopra.

Sources say that the couple got engaged in a quiet ceremony at Chopra's Juhu bungalow, attended by close friends and family. No date has been set for the wedding, since Aditya is in the middle of a divorce from his estranged wife Payal Khanna.

The rumour mills say that Aditya's family is unhappy about Aditya's decision. Tabloids also say that Yash Chopra has threatened to disinherit Aditya from the Rs 1,000 crore Yash Raj Film empire if he does marry Rani.

It's believed that Aditya and Rani have been seeing each other for two years, and that Aditya took to Rani after working with her on his home production Saathiya. He subsequenetly cast Rani in many films produced under the Yash Raj banner, including Mujhse Dosti Karoge, Hum Tum, Veer-Zaara, Bunty Aur Babli, Tara Rum Pum and the forthcoming Laaga Chunari Mein Daag.

Rani has reduced her workload in the last one year. The 29-year-old actress is currently working on only three films.

The couple has never been spotted together. In fact, Aditya Chopra is known to be a recluse. He has given only one print interview in his life, and has never appeared on television. Aditya is the mastermind behind transforming Yash Raj studios from a modest film company into Bollywood’s biggest film conglomerate.
