Rani Mukherjee was born on March 21, 1978, in West Bengal, India. Her father, Ram, is a movie director, and other members of her extended family are also successful actors and actresses in the Indian film industry, including her cousin Kajol, another of the country’s top actresses. She moved from Juhu to India’s film capital, Mumbai, shortly after graduating from Maneckjee Cooper High School, to break into Bollywood cinema.While in school at the age of 14, Mukerji did a cameo role in her father’s Bengali film Biyar Phool (1992). In 1994, Salim Akhtar, a family friend, offered her a film called Aa Gale Lag Jaa (1994) but her father was against it as she was too young. Mukerji turned down the offer and Urmila Matondkar was cast instead.Two years later, Salim Akhtar came up with another offer and insisted on her playing the protagonist of Raja Ki Ayegi Baraat (1997). After a long discussion with her father, she agreed to do the film. When the film was unsuccessful at the box office, Mukerji returned to college to complete her education.She changed the English transliteration of her surname from Mukherjee to Mukerji several years ago. At the time, it was reported that she did this for numerological reasons. Recently, she has claimed that numerology was not a concern; her name had been put down as Mukerji on her passport, and she wished to harmonize her name and her passport.She is the first actor to ever win both the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress trophies in a single year (2005) at the Filmfare.Two movies in which she appeared have been India’s entry to the Academy Awards.
