As we await the release of her new movie this Friday, Rani Mukerji is celebrating her 40th birthday today. Going by the trailers, Hichki already seems like a movie that will warm as much as it will win hearts. And why not? Rani has time and again proven that she is a fine actress who has charted a diverse path in her career. From a lawyer in Veer-Zaara, to a prostitute in Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, a visually and hearing impaired woman in Black, and an angel in Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, Rani Mukerji has played a variety of roles and been feted for her performances.
But proving her mettle as an actress isn't the only thing that Rani Mukerji has been doing on screen. From the moment she stepped onto the screen as Tina in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Rani has been setting us some serious fashion goals.
The time she was indie quirk in Bunty Aur Babli, mixing prints with kurtis and chunky jewellery.
When she was street chic in Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna.
Also when she was saree-clad in Tumhi Dekho Na, in Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna.
Rani as kitsch chic in Aiyyaa, voluptuous, sexy and vibrantly attractive. That natth is just uff.
That white shirt-blue denims combo from the Hum Tum song?
The high-end call girl avatar of Rani in Laga Chunari Mein Daag was quite a rage when it came to her costumes at that time, especially as the chunari clad Benares girl.
And of course, the epic scene where she walked into all our lives as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai's Tina, in that yellow dress.
And as a bonus, I would like to mention the simplicity of her looks in Veer-Zaara as Samia.
Rani Mukerji is lovely in whatever she wears and she's wonderful to watch in her films. On her big day, we wish Rani a very happy, successful and healthy year.
