I think the reason why Kajol is not close to Rani is because of the kind of woman that Rani is. Have you heard of Kajol sleeping around or being with married men? Rani played her cards right, she was smart. Dude, she even managed to get Govinda to change the flat he gave her to her name. She lied about it until a few years ago when Govinda had his lawyer ask for the flat back since he was down and out financially.
I think that is the reason why Kajol is not close to her, She knows Rani's dirty secrets. She was also friendly with Aditya's first wife Payal who Rani backstabbed.
I guess Rani is one of those women who value their friendship with men more. And they cannot be friends with someone they are in competition with or is prettier than them. Thats why her closest friends are the ones working at YRF like Vaibhavi and Shano.
