Hi Guys,
I want to say something about Rani and please do not turn this into a bashing post. It is very easy to form opinions about people and believe in them but they needn't be true necessarily.
Rani , today, one of the finest actresses of our generation ( after Madhuri, of course, who can beat that goddess?) has earned the reputation of being diplomatic, fake, a sucker to big banners and a frigid woman. Some of it is true and some of it is not.
Rani Mukherjee - one of the biggest names in the industry today has slogged like a labourer to reach where she is today. She is not beautiful at all in real life. If you see her somewhere on the road, you wouldn't even turn to give her a second look. But she has one thing - talent, genuine talent. Coming from a financially shakey background ( inspite of the Mukherjee surname), Rani didn't have some regal magnificent launch.... she has literally climbed her way to success.
In the beginning, all her niceness and warmth was taken advantage of . She was fooled and betrayed by her so-called friends and her career was going nowhere.... inspite of KKHH. And then, Chalte-Chalte happened... where she put Aishwarya Rai's friendship at stake and filled her shoes to be with SRK. For once, Rani thought about herself. She lost Aishwarya and got a glittering career which will put her as one of the biggest stars of Indian Cinema in history. As she climbed ladders of success , she lost all her friends one by one - Ash, Preity, Kareena . Valid reason? Well, I can understand Ash's case but Kareena felt Rani hogged all the limelight... while the truth is taht Rani got a better role and gave a better performance. As for Preity, well, the least I say about this particular woman, the better.
Yes, Rani will lay her life anyday for three people in the industry - SRK because he was comapssionate to her during KKHH and has always been her saviour angel, Aamir Khan because he is the only person who accepts hr as she is and Yash Chopra because she is indebted to him for life. Rani still has a soft corner for Aishwarya but she knows that Ash will never forgive her for the Chalte-Chalte betrayal. As for Kajol, wel, there has always been bad blood between cousins because ther was bad blood betwen their fathers. Rani doesn't dislike Kajol.. she just can't relate to her.
This post is not in defence of Rani Mukherjee.....this post is in defence of the choices we make in life. Rani had a family to support and her career to think about. Goodness and Miss.Sunshine avtar brought her nothing but misery, so she changed the chess board- if it's diplomacy and sycophancy that gave her a chance to prov herself, she took it. And all those people who dismissed her as " short & ugly" , "a flop actress" ," an insult to Kajol" are lining up outside her door to sign her.
Rani has sacrificed and struggled a lot to be where she is and behind that diplomatic smile and all that artificial make-up , there is still that genuine girl that she was once upon a time. One thing about Rani has not changed though - she is still kind. How many stars go to spologize to their building's watchmen when their arogant fathers misbehave with them? Even Aishwarya Rai is a highly misunderstood woman - it's not her mistake that God made her look so perfect that she started looking glacial and atificial . She is just like you and me - a girl next door.
Whenever you feel like criticizing someone , for a few fleeting seconds, think of the life they must have led, the miseries they must have suffered and the people and incidents that have shaped their life. I agree with Hrithik Roshan when he says that everyone deserves a benefit of doubt.
Peace....La Dix of course is incomparable - truly a diva.... truly a Goddess. No woner SRK wants his son to marry Mad's daughter if she has one.
GOD bless everyone,
Nitica.
