Rani Mukharjee Pics & Profile

Rani Mukherjee  Actress Profile:

The number one position in the Bollywood actresses is being held at present by the queen of the heart of million fans, Rani Mukherji. Rani is considered to a very hot and sexy actress of bollywood.

Rani Mukherji was born on 21st March, 1978 in West Bengal. Her parents were closely associated with the show business. Her father is film director Ram Mukherji who has now retired and her mother is a playback singer of yesteryear Smt. Krishna Mukherjee. Rani Mukherjee has numerous relatives who are associated with the film industry. Notable among them beside her father and mother are film actresses Debashree Roy her maternal aunt, Kajol, Tanuja and Sharbani Mukherji her cousins. Her brother Raja Mukherjee is also a film director.

She started her career in the Bollywood with Raja Ki Ayegi Baarat and in the Bengali films with the home production Biyer Phool. Both the films were released in the year 1996. The Hindi film did not performed well in the box office but her Bengali venture was able to sustain in the box office and can't be termed a flop.

She can speak the languages Hindi, English, Bengali and Urdu fluently. Previously her dialogue delivery was not clear but she worked on it and now she is the only heroine with a husky voice in the Hindi film industry. The path for Rani was not clear yet and there was still time left for her being accepted as an actress in the Bollywood. She worked very hard to build her career in the films and slowly some of her films started getting the nod of affirmation from public. In the year 2000, she was drawn into the controversies due to the Kiss with Kamalhassan in the film.

After the release of the Ghulam she immediately caught the attention of the media and the public. The release of the film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai she got the proper attention of the public and the media and got the recognition for her work in the film by way of the award for the best supporting actress in the year 1999 from the Filmfare. After the success of the film she started getting many offers for the role in the films from the Hindi movies. But most of the films did not get notable success in the box office instead Rani was able to establish firmly in the Bollywood with the release of the film Saathia.

In the year 2004 her career graph soared to the new heights every passing year in the year 2005 she was at her best while portraying the deaf and dumb girl in the movie Black. For this film she got all major awards and the film was critically acclaimed also. In this year another film Bunti Aur Babli portrayed her ability to tickle the ribs of the public and her sense of timing. Many times she performed on the stage most of time with her co-stars.

The rise in her career graph was due to her sheer determination and the dedication towards the portrayal of the roles enacted by her. Her attitude towards the work won her many friends and foes. But she fought with all the odds with sheer dedication and the guts. At the present time her work is appreciated and she is regarded as one of the top actresses of the Bollywood. The hot and sexy Rani Mukherjee has received numerous awards for the recognition of her work. Few of her films are still in the making or the post production and when they are released I am sure that it would take her career to a new height.

With the dedication towards the roles she is portraying, it is for certain that Rani would rule the world of the Bollywood for many years to come as a real Rani or the Queen of the hearts of the movie goers.

Bikini Fake Photos Of Bollywood Actresses - Bhumika Chawala, sonakshi sinha, Shilpa Shetty, Vidya Balan

Here are some of the fake bikini photos of Bollywood actresses that have become popular over the web for some time. These photos are of actresses who have in one way or other said that they are not going to appear in two piece skimpy bikini ever. But their fans cannot wait to see their favourite actresses in bikini and thus we have some fake photos appearing on the web. And these sexy photos are so popular on the web that even if these celebrities change their mind and some day decide to expose in bikini their original photos perhaps will not gain the same popularity.


First one is that of lovely actress Bhumika aka Bhoomika Chawla. The actress has a great body and knows it. In south movies she has given many sensuous scenes but bikini was never her cup of tea. But here she is in all her bikin glory.

This picture recently created ruckus and fired debates regarding whether the photo was real or not. After some time it was revealed that this was a fake one and Sonakshi is never going to appear in bikini.

The last time we saw Shilpa Shetty in bikini was for a son of Dostana and after she disappeared from the movie scene. But here this bikini picture makes us think that the babe should really do some sexy bikini photoshoot.

Last but not the least, Vidya Balan the actress who have attacked the fantasies and dreams of many a men with her earthy sensuality. Recently she appeared in a braless sexy saree that made men go crazy. Honestly we would never like to see her in a bikini like this
