Rani Mukerji, one of Bollywood’s most talented and beloved actresses, turned 47 today. She has always been known for her powerful performances. But when it comes to her personal life, she has kept things private—especially her love story with filmmaker Aditya Chopra.
Rani Mukerji and Aditya Chopra’s romance was a quiet affair, away from the limelight, but it eventually led to a beautiful marriage.
Rani’s Journey in Bollywood
Born into a Bengali film family, Rani Mukerji made her Bollywood debut in Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat (1996). However, it was Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) that catapulted her to stardom. With films like Saathiya, Hum Tum, Black, and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, she established herself as a powerhouse performer.
Her association with Yash Raj Films (YRF) became an important part of her career. Movies like Mujhse Dosti Karoge!, Veer-Zaara, and Bunty Aur Babli strengthened her bond with the banner. But behind the scenes, something else was blooming—a quiet romance with the man behind YRF, Aditya Chopra.
A Love Story Hidden from the Public Eye
Aditya Chopra, the son of legendary filmmaker Yash Chopra, had always been a reserved personality. He was married before but later went through a divorce. Around this time, his bond with Rani deepened.
Unlike Bollywood’s usual high-profile romances, Rani and Aditya never made public appearances together or spoke about their relationship. There were rumors, but neither of them confirmed anything. Rani once mentioned in interviews that she wanted her personal life to remain private, and Aditya, known for avoiding media attention, felt the same way.
Despite the secrecy, close friends in the industry knew about their growing affection. Rani often worked in YRF productions, and many believed that their shared passion for cinema brought them closer.
A Fairytale Wedding in Italy
In 2014, Rani and Aditya surprised everyone by getting married in an intimate ceremony in Italy. The wedding had only close family and friends, keeping with their private nature. After the wedding, Rani officially became a part of the Yash Raj family, but she continued her acting career on her own terms.
A Happy Family Life
A year after their wedding, in 2015, the couple welcomed their daughter, Adira. Rani took a brief break from films to focus on motherhood. However, she made a strong comeback with Hichki (2018), Mardaani 2 (2019), and Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway (2023).
Even today, Rani and Aditya keep their personal life away from social media and media glare. They rarely make public appearances together, but their strong bond is evident. Rani has often spoken about how Aditya has been a pillar of support in her life.
Rani Mukerji and Aditya Chopra’s love story is unlike the usual Bollywood romances. It was built on mutual respect, understanding, and a shared love for cinema. While Rani continues to shine on-screen, Aditya remains the mastermind behind YRF, making them one of the most powerful yet private couples in Bollywood.
Their story proves that love doesn’t always need grand gestures or public declarations—it can thrive beautifully behind the curtains, away from the spotlight.
