She comes from a film-clan family of Bengali origin: Her father, Ram Mukherjee is a retired director. Her mother Krishna used to be a playback singer, while her brother Raja Mukherjee is a film producer. Her maternal aunt is Debashree Roy. Famous bollywood actress Kajol is her second cousin.
Besides acting in films, Mukerji also does many charity appearances for noble causes. Her most noteworthy show was Temptations 2005 where she performed in New Delhi. The event provided the opportunity to raise funds for National Centre For Promotional of Employment for Disabled People (NCPEDP), a leading disabled rights group. Shahrukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra were also amongst the many who contributed to this cause.
Mukerji celebrated her birthday in 2006, with the students of The Helen Keller Institute for the Deaf and Blind. She befriended the members of this Institute, when she was enacting her role of a blind and deaf girl in the movie Black. She thanked the students of the institute claiming she would not have been able to enact her performance in Black without them.
She has been closely associated with actors such as Govinda, Aamir Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and most recently, director Aditya Chopra in love affairs. Undeniably after some time, these link up have been regarded as rumours from both parties. Besides love affairs, she has been pitted against actress Preity Zinta over time and time again. Nonetheless, both actresses confirm a professional relationship between each other.
In 2006, the actress bought a new house for herself in Juhu. The interiors were done by Twinkle Khanna and it took an entire year to get ready.

She was Mumbai moviedom’s No. 1 heroine just last year. But today, Rani Mukherji is no longer being approached by frontline filmmakers. Once a favourite of every Khan, she hasn’t been teamed with Shah Rukh, Aamir or Salman of late.From all evidence, she appears to have become an exclusive Yashraj heroine and her career is being re-scripted by Aditya Chopra... who coincidence or not, has split from his wife Payal Malhotra.The Aditya-Rani liaison is the hottest topic of discussion today, in studio corridors, beauty salons and ritzy star abodes. That the director and she are ‘good friends’ has never been denied by the 28-year-old actress. Aditya's marriage with his childhood friend Payal Malhotra — from a traditional Punjabi business family — hit the rocks. Aditya moved out of his parents' house in Juhu-Vile Parle In the wake of her three super hat-trick performances in Hum Tum, Black and Bunty aur Babli, Rani Mukherji had achieved what most actresses dream of. She had startled Aishwarya Rai out of the top rung of the heroine ladder..and it seemed there was no stopping her from acquiring strength and perfecting her performances.Her fan following was and is still tremendous but..a big but. Where is she heading? Is she reserving her dates essentially for the Yashraj banner. Not a bad thing that. Snag: the days of exclusive-to-one-studio practice no longer wash in a business that is becoming fiercely competitive.All of her earlier directors no longer rush to her with scripts. Also by some quirk of logic, she is in Yashraj banner's Ta Ra Rum Pum directed by Sidharth Anand, instead of repeating her success with director Shaad Ali in the same banner's Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. Shaad Ali had given her excellent roles in Saathiya and Bunty aur Babli.
Trade talk is that since the actress was being linked with Shaad Ali, she was shifted to Ta Rum Pum Pum. The actress refused to comment on this twist of the plot..in fact, she stopped commenting on any matter under the sun to the press which had so lovingly lionised her till that point.
Rani Mukherji became elusive to being downright rude to the media and it was conjectured that the lay-off from the press was in the style perfected by the Yashraj scion, genius producer-director-writer Aditya Chopra.
No one can deny that Adi, as he is called by his friends, has become an important factor in the actress' life and career. Some insiders aver that they are "friendly" and leave it that. The events in his own life, however, have given rise to other sorts of whispers, which are no longer hush-hush.
Aditya's marriage with his childhood friend Payal Malhotra – from a traditional Punjabi business family – hit the rocks. Aditya moved out of his parents' house in Juhu-Vile Parle to stay at the Grand Maratha Sheraton Hotel till the clouds cleared. Now they have, it seems. Payal who had flown off to Singapore, for a few months, has returned to Mumbai.
A settlement, upwards of some Rs 20 crore, has been fixed, besides a five-bedroom penthouse in Juhu, close to the Prithvi theatre complex. Payal, an expert interior designer who was instrumental, in the upbeat look of the Yashraj studio in Oshiwara, has chosen to stay independently..instead of giving up her career.
Aditya Chopra, from all accounts, has returned to his parents' old-worldly villa where he stays in a separate refurbished wing on the first floor. Rumours about the "incompatibility" of Adi and Payal had started some two years ago but had been quickly squelched.Then the Rani angle surfaced and she was made the target of rumours which insisted that she was a homebreaker. Not true, several friends of the family and showbiz insiders pointed out.
At the same time, none of them denied that Rani is very "close" to Aditya Chopra. It is also said that Rani made special time for the Yashraj banner produced film directed by Pradeep Sarkar at Adi's advice. Consequently, Sarkar's favourite heroine Vidya Balan was out of the project and Rani was in.
That thing called "luck" continues for the Yashraj banner in terms of the commercial success of most of its films. Conversely, Rani's luck has turned the other way, what with her Baabul coming a cropper. Also, her performance in Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna was outshone this year by cousin Kajol's in FanaaSome other wrong moves made by the actress are rejecting such globally spotlight projects like Mira Nair's The Namesake, in which Tabu has delivered the performance of a lifetime. Another downer is the absolute silence on the project she was to do with Bela Sehgal, sister of Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the editor of Black which surely has the actress' finest performance to date.
According to a trade soothsayer, who didn't want to be named, there is no likelhood that Rani is likely to quit her career for marriage with anyone, even if Aditya Chopra if he were so inclined.
However, it is felt that the signs of arrogance which set in post the praise she got for Black and reports of her being obnoxious of late on the sets, are not likely to do her career any good.
There is every likelihood that her caring parents cannot accept the topic that the entire industry is talking about, that they will move into the denial mode..but then that's the way it is in movie country where there's a thin line between the real and the rumoured.

A cold war to spark off between - (once good friends) John Abraham and Arshad Warsi. John didn't take it too well when he realised that Arshad was getting equal footage in Vivek Agnihotri's Goal. The friction became difficult to ignore when John refused to hug Arshad in one of the scenes. A source from the unit of Goal reveals, "The scene required John to hug Arshad, but John refused outright. Instead, he asked Vivek to change the scene.

Arshad kept his cool and he didn't show any disrespect for John.Finally, Vivek re-worked many scenes to make sure that John gets the limelight. Arshad seems to be upset, but prefers not to talk about it. But director Vivek Agnihotri says, "This is untrue. Nothing happened on the sets of Goal, and I don't have any idea about John and Arshad fighting. I don't know if they have personal problems, but they were extremely professional and didn't give me any trouble."

Now they were cast along with Abhishek Bachchan in Shaad Ali's 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom'. Some time back Abhi had commented that he was ready to have lots of fun with Bobby on the sets of it, as they grown up attending the same B'day parties. But in real, Bobby spent most of his time sitting by himself quietly in a corner while Abhi and Preity had a great time with each other. When Bobby listens to Abhi's comment, he reacts, "Well, Abhishek must be having a better memory than mine. I don't remember having any fun on the sets of JBJ."

Salman Khan was upset with brother Arbaaz Khan. Arbaaz and Viveik Oberoi have become friendly with each other during the shooting of films - 'Fool And Final' and 'Shootout At Lokhandwala'. When Salman knows about it, he didn't take things well. "Arbaaz was extremely cordial with Viveik and they both interacted often. Salman got to know about the comfort level between them. Arbaaz and Viveik are professional actors and they would never bring their personal issues into a professional project", says a close source
