Rani's Career on a downswing - And Adi's to blame!

Former belle of the ball, Rani Mukerji has had a poor run of flops recently which she blames on poor promotion from the Yashraj stable to which she is wedded. In particular, it's said she lays the blame at the door of Aditya Chopra. Rumour has it that she is now sidelining her personal life and concentrating on rebuilding her career - even if this means moving beyond Yashraj.

Rani has a string of strong performances behind her, including Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Hey Ram, Saathiya, for which she won a Best Actress Award, Chalte Chalte, Yuva, the delightful Hum Tum which won another Best Actress Award, Veer Zaara, the extraordinary Black, Bunty Aur Babli, Paheli, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag and Saawariya - and yet this year, her career has suddenly fallen flat.

"Rani is going through the leanest patch of her career and she expected Adi to stand by her," a source recently said. "But seeing her sagging brand value, Adi chose to concentrate on what sells rather than his obligations to a friend." Being snubbed by Yashraj eventually led to a stormy confrontation, it's rumoured, between Rani and Adi and they stopped talking for several days but have since made it up. "Aditya eventually initiated reconciliation and called a meeting," the source continues, "Since then they are back to being the same good friends that they have always been."

How quickly the tide can change in Bollywood. As recently as 2006, Rani was saying, "I'm glad people are finally recognising me. For too long people who loved me felt dejected when at every awards function I'd be giving awards. Now I'm finally getting them." - but this year's cupboard has been bare.

i feel bad for her

she shldnt have stuck to adi n yashraj - they used her when she was giving hits n when her films started flopping they offered her all crappy movies which were sure to flop

at least now rani is getting back her lost sense but i m afraid its too late

guess dats d way in bollywood - everyone is ur friend as long u give hit films

There are many different ways of measuring success. It's not only about receiving awards. But it's a shame that some of her films haven't been doing well but I thought she gave a very good performance in Saawariya, despite the film not doing well. I loved her character! I don't think she should worry about awards, she has the ability to pick herself back up.

I think Rani needs to break away from Yashraj films for awhile. In recent times she has done perhaps too many films with them.

Apart from Saawariya, recently her characters haven't been the best and i don't think Yashraj has used her talent and craft in the best possible manner.

She needs to choose films with strong scripts and maybe reinvent herself and do something a little off the wall than she normally does.

Yash Raj is a big production house with many directors. Am sure Rani will be able to pick out the scripts that she likes to do.

i was watching Baabul (yea i know, baabul!) and rani looked VERY nice in the movie, she wasnt that chubby before and she looked very pretty even in western clothes shibash ( duno how to spell his name) did a fantastic job in styling her. i think whoever her current designer is isn't concentrating on her look much. RANI DOES NOT LOOK GOOD IN SKIRTS! WHICH IDIOT DOESNT KNOW THAT?? shes short, which makes her look her shorter, and shes already chubby, thus making her look fat! break away from manishhhhhh!!!!!!!! hes NO genius!

agree he makes kareena look beautiful, but does she really require any effort? shes a beautiful grl herself and can carry ANYTHING OFF!
