Abhi-Rani renew friendship!!!

After Abhishek and Aishwarya's marriage, rumours were ripe that Rani Mukherjee and Abhishek would not be friends any more as wife Aishwarya is not keen on this friendship.

But apparently while shooting for ‘Laga Chunari Mein Daag’, Rani and Abhishek renewed their friendship and were back to set the set on fire.

Though initially Rani was miffed about not having called for the wedding of the century, Abhishek's friendly behavior brought everything back to normal again.

But it is heard that wife Aishwarya dropped in to spend some time with dearest hubby during the movie's outdoor shoot. To ponder deeper into the topic- was it to spend time with Abhi or was to spy on him?

Rani's tryst with Sexuality!

So Rani is getting bolder! And so are the meaty roles she is getting though controversial. The ever-so-careful-oh-so-lean-money-making-machine, the Yashraj Films are facing 'a moral question’ (never mind the creative one).

Aditya Chopra and director Pradeep Sarkar are hesitant about Rani Mukerji's portrayal of a sex worker in Lagaa Chunari Mein Daag.

The plot has Rani coming from a respectable middle-class family living in a small town. City life lures her and eventually, falling on bad times, she turns to flesh trade for a living.

The makers feel that Rani's journey, from a middle-class woman to a sex worker (in the film), may not go down well with the audiences. In fact, a middle-class woman being portrayed as a sex-worker has always been a strict no-no.

Although a good measure of mother-daughter relationship has been thrown in but that doesn't solve the problem. The plot essentially focuses on Rani's predicament in a big bad city.

There is a also this question of repetition as Rani Mukerji is also playing a sex worker in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya.

Apparently the recent box-office letdowns (read Tara Rum Pum and Jhoom Barabar Jhoom) has prompted Aditya to mull over the script yet again before the film makes its way to the editing table.

The creative team behind the film already have had a few meetings. We say, when will Yashraj films the family moral instigator grow up and outrage the viewers' sensibilities to a little more than reality. the film is intended to release in September."

Rani not engaged to Aditya

Even as the media went berserk about a piece of gossip they had heard about Rani Mukherjee's engagement to Aditya Chopra, Rani's father Ram Mukherjee dashed off a fax to most newspapers stating that no such 'rokka' ceremony had taken place.

Even Pamela Chopra, Aditya Chopra's mother and Yash Chopra's wife also clarified that the two weren't engaged on Monday as it was being speculated.

This is not the first time that such news has spread. Long ago news about Rani Mukherjee and Adnan Sami's engagement also did the news and eveyrone laughed it away. But this one is no laughing matter as Pamela has also clarified that the family has no problems with Rani.

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

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.

Showdown between Yash and Aditya Chopra

Bollywood's most powerful family is on the verge of breaking up. If one is to rely on the reports doing the rounds, there has been a showdown between Yash Chopra and his son Aditya. The trigger is Aditya's impending divorce from his wife Payal. The couple was married in 2001 and trouble in the marriage began soon after with Aditya moving out of home for a while and then beginning divorce proceedings. Payal is the daughter of close family friends.

According top sources, the father and son, Yash and Aditya, have stopped speaking to each other for a while now, but matters really took a turn for the worst when Aditya pressed ahead with the divorce proceedings. An upset Yash Chopra is believed to have threatened to disinherit him. At stake here is the Rs 1000 crore plus Yashraj empire. While the business is currently run by Aditya, who is the brain behind the current stature of Yashraj Films, Yash Chopra is still the head. A fallout between the two will definitely impact the clout they enjoy in Bollywood. This is definitely the mother of all big fights!
