Many think that Rani made her acting debut in 1996 with Raja ki Aayegi Baarat, but the actor made her big screen debut at the age of 18 in her father’s production Biyer Phool, a Bengali film starring superstar Prosenjit Chatterjee.
Do you know Rani’s breakthrough film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was initially offered to Twinkle Khanna? Nonetheless Rani only got the role.
Remember the Hollywood film Namesake? The role of Karl Penn’s mother was initially offered to Rani but due to her tight schedule for Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, the role went to Tabu.
She is the only female actor in the history of Bollywood to win multiple Filmfare awards in a single year as she won the Best Supporting Actor award for Yuva and Filmfare award for Best Actress for Hum Tum.
Rani is a trained Odissi dancer and has pursued her passion for almost a decade.
Rani is one of the most acclaimed actors of Hindi cinema but she has admitted that if not an actor she would have definitely been an interior designer.
Black is her best work till date. But sometimes actors are not sure about their own potential of justifying a character. Rani also thought of rejecting the film as she was not confident enough to essay the role of a deafblind girl.
