You're proving my point. Rani was never even in contention for any YRF role with SRK. That shows, that despite her best attempts to ingratiate herself with the Chopra family, she could not get any major roles with SRK, the King of Bollywood, under this production company that was as close to her as family. For Veer Zaara, Kajol and Aishwarya were first choices. Preity came next. Yash Raj never even considered Rani for the female lead and she was only considered suitable for the supporting role. In fact, most of her history has been playing supporting roles whether to Kajol in KKHH and K3G, to Preity in Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega (and Preity has the meatier part in Chori Chori Chupke Chupke), and even in a Bhansali film like Saawariya. Had Kajol not refused KANK, that would be one more film Rani would be secondary in. She's never been first choice for any major role.
Her films with SRK do not have the same love in the public, at least not her films where she's the main romantic lead. It doesn't matter that YRF movies are the only ones in the festival. Even without it, you wouldn't see Paheli or Chalte Chalte getting a theatrical re-release like DDLJ, Mohabbatein, or Veer-Zaara. There is no demand. Not even for KANK, or perhaps especially not for KANK.

Love that you call Aish jobless when she just had PS-2 which swept Salman Khan's movie at the box office. As I said before, when was the last time Rani had a film that made so much money? I think her biggest hit was Talaash where she's a supporting character with no presence. Aish, even before the PS films, had Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, which was a hit especially overseas. Happy New Year was given to her before she refused it for the sake of her husband. She has little interest in Bollywood now, because like Kajol has said, the roles aren't there for women their age anymore. Her interest lies mainly in South India as another user with connections to Aish posted in another thread, how her preference is to work there and launch her daughter there against the Bachchan's wishes. That user mentioned that the iconic actresses of yesteryear are tired of working in a field where the Khans monopolize all the money and producers, which is why they are working in other mediums now. Only Rani is unaffected because she's part of the problem with YRF and apparently Kajol made comments about this in the last KWK appearance.
As usual, you reveal yourself when you admit that even without being on Bollywood screens in so long, the public is still hyperfixated on her and her personal life. She has more Instagram followers than say Kareena. That is starpower right there.
Anyone as misogynistic as you, shaming a woman for her appearance, is someone who really needs a reality check. You literally called Vidya a potato just earlier. And I think it's funny because Rani of all actresses has been heavily criticized for letting herself go, all of which is documented in movies and photos. She's only lost some weight recently otherwise, she was being called all types of names which I imagine you'd be fine calling another actress but just not your fav.
And lol, what awards? Rani couldn't even win the Filmfare Award. She's never won the National Award despite your attempts to put down Tabu, Vidya, and Sridevi, and has never even come as close to Aishwarya who was second in choice. Aishwarya has awards from various countries and has the Padma Shri. Where is Rani's?
You admit beauty fades for everyone. Well, decades from now, people will still be able to see Aish's beauty in her classic films and remember her that way whereas Rani never had the looks to start with and no one will be interested in watching her old films because she's left no legacy beyond KKHH where she's a side character the audience is rooting for to die so the real lovers can get together.
Meanwhile, Aish has the respect of her nation, the international community, and especially her peers and seniors. Legends like Rekha have praised Aish. She has stood tall despite three of the biggest actors blacklisting her in the industry and to this day 2/3 of those actors still blacklist her.
