Rani is not a home-breaker
"Rani is not dating Aditya Chopra," says a close friend of the actress, talking about the alleged Adi-Rani love affair

A very close friend of Rani Mukherjee has categorically denied that the actress is having an affair with director Aditya Chopra.
According to a recent report, director Aditya Chopra has filed for divorce from his wife Payal Chopra because he is in love with Rani Mukherji. The report also said that soon after the divorce Adi will get engaged to Rani. "Please don't ask us about Adi's personal life. If Adi is filing for divorce, it's his problem, not Rani's. Rani is not dating Aditya Chopra," says the friend.
Rani may not be in love with Adi, but, perhaps, Adi in love with Rani? "What rubbish?" says the friend. "Rani is Adi's friend. They are working together in many projects. I think one should end this story here and leave Rani alone."
Incidentally, Aditya and his family are very close to Rani's family. And right now, all of them are upset. "Rani is very close to Yashji and his family. In fact, Payal is also fond of Rani. If Adi is having some problem in his married life, which we are not even aware of, Rani shouldn't be dragged into it. Rani is not a home-breaker!" says the friend.
Did Rani call Adi or Payal and sort out the issue? "Why should she? Adi knows the truth and he will never misunderstand Rani," replies the friend. "There is a lot of jealousy in this industry, and people are trying to malign her. It's easy to write such stories because Rani is single and is not dating anyone. I wish she were! Now, we have asked her to create a fictitious boyfriend and tell everyone that she is engaged. That's the only way she can resolve this problem."
The buzz is that father Yash Chopra has asked Adi to leave home and stay in a hotel, and that the father and son are not on talking terms.
When contacted Rani Mukherji refused to comment on the stories doing the rounds in the media and the film industryz. Currently shooting for Ravi Chopra's Baabul, the actress refused to take calls or even reply to SMSes.
