However, Rani Mukherjee’s success journey was not easy and has seen a lot of ups and downs. It was during the 2000s when Rani had a tiff with close friend Karan Johar for not being offered ‘Kal Ho Na Ho’. Let’s know what was Rani Mukherjee’s reaction to knowing that Karan without her knowledge selected Preity Zinta for ‘Kal Ho Na Ho’ and not her.
Rani Mukherjee And Karan Johar- The Hit Duo
Rani Mukherjee and Karan Johar share a very close friendship. The hit Actress-Producer duo has worked in several films together. This includes Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna etc. The 2000s was the decade when Rani Mukherjee used to be seen in Karan’s every film. However, the ‘Mardaani’ actress got upset with the producer for not taking her in ‘Kal Ho Na Ho’. She even cried in front of Aamir Khan when she got to know that Karan didn’t discuss the film with her.
Revelation On Koffee With Karan
In 2004, Rani Mukherjee herself revealed all these secrets on Karan’s show, Koffee With Karan. The actress had said how Karan’s decision had hurt her. She also accepted crying in front of Aamir Khan for the same.
Rani Mukharjee was highly upset with the fact that Karan Johar even didn’t tell her about his film, Kal Ho Na Ho. The actress was more upset because she got to know about the film from someone else and not from Karan himself.
However, Rani Mukherjee didn’t hold any grudges against Preity Zinta and was happy for her. She also accepted being sensitive at that time as she was facing a break in her career. The ‘Hichki’ actress was expecting that Karan will inform her about the film, no matter whether he cast her or not.
Kal Ho Na Ho
FYK, Karan Johar’s written ‘Kal Ho Na Ho’ was released in 2004 and was a massive hit. It starred Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta, and Saif Ali Khan in lead roles. This film’s songs and the film itself are still the favourite of many.
Talking about Rani Mukharjee, she was last seen in 2022 in ‘Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway’. However, her last few releases didn’t get the proper response from the audience. The actress is yet to make a powerful comeback after ‘Mardaani 2’.
