Aditya Chopra

Rani Mukerji and her very discreet, invisible lover Aditya Chopra had kept their relationship under wraps from the entire world, got married the same way too. Rani and Yash Raj Film's head honcho tied the knot in Italy on April 21, 2014. The ceremony was attended by close friends and family only.

Rani Mukerji issued a statement the next day that said "I would like to share the happiest day of my life with all my fans all over the world whose love and blessings have been part of my journey all these years. I know that all my well-wishers who have waited for this day will be really happy for me. It was a beautiful wedding in the Italian countryside with just a few of our close family and friends with us. The one person I missed terribly was Yash Uncle, but I know he was there with us in spirit and his love and blessings will always be with Adi and me. I have always believed in fairy-tales and with God’s grace my life has been exactly like one, and now as I enter the most important chapter of my life - the fairy-tale continues."

Rani Mukerji who turned 36 on 20th March 2014, a few weeks before ttwedding. tied the knot with her long time boyfriend Aditya Chopra. A 42-year-old Aditya Chopra has always been very discreet about his personal life and hence the couple's decision to get married away from the glaring eyes of the media in Italy was the obvious choice. Unlike her lover, Rani could not remain so discreet about her love life and the media could get enough fodder from the hints that Rani dropped occasionally. Rani was seen at Aditya Chopra's father Yash Chopra's funeral and attended all the ceremonies like a family member.

Even though Aditya Chopra preferred staying within the confines of his bungalow and office, the camera followed Rani and she was once snapped celebrating Diwali at the Chopra mansion. A rare picture of Rani feeding Aditya during the Diwali celebrations was also leaked. The couple was snapped sometimes coming out of the airport.

But one thing that added more fuel to fire was when at the event where Yash Chopra's memorial statue was unveiled, actor Shatrughan Sinha who was also present there addressed Rani Mukerji as "Rani Chopra". He went further and said "Aditya Chopra ko koi kaise bhool sakta hai. Aur jabki maine baaki kuch naam liye hain, Rani Chopra ka bhi naam liya toh zahir hai Aditya Chopra ka naam aa gaya". Well, before the couple could come out in the open about their love life, Shatrughan Sinha let out Bollywood's best kept secret!

When asked about the man- Aditya Chopra in her life, Rani in an interview had once said "The good part is that it is constant. I’m glad I’m being linked with just one person not many. I enjoy that ‘constant'." But things haven't been hunky-dory for the couple always. If rumours are anything to go by then, Aditya Chopra and Rani Mukerji's relationship didn't go down well with Adi's parents Yash and Pamela Chopra. Aditya was married to his childhood sweetheart Payal Khanna when actress Rani Mukerji came into his life. Aditya and Payal got married in 2001 but his relationship with Rani ended Payal and Aditya's relationship. It took Adi's parents allegedly a long time before they accepted Rani Mukerji as their future daughter-in-law as they were close to Payal. Aditya Chopra finally got divorced from his first wife Payal Khanna in 2009.

It was believed that Rani Mukerji and Aditya Chopra got engaged sometime back. The huge rock on Rani's finger was probably what kick-started the rumour. It was also rumoured that the couple was living in together for two years [2012-14] at Rani Mukerji's bungalow in Juhu. Aditya has been spotted several times coming out of Rani's bungalow. Recently, the couple made headlines when Aditya gave his ladylove an expensive Audi car. Rani and Aditya's love story has always remained a mystery and the two have never spoken about it in the media.

Rani Mukerji called her love story with Aditya Chopra a 'fairy-tale' one in the official statement issued by the actress. The two may have gotten married to each other in Italy to avoid the intrusion of the media .

Other friends

Rani Mukerjee has over the years been linked to actors like Govinda and Abhishek Bachchan. Rani's affair with Govinda got a lot of media attention. The already married actor was rumoured to be dating Rani Mukerji and a lot of media reports about their alleged affair sprouted up. It was alleged that Govinda used to splurge on Rani and buy her diamonds and other expensive gifts. But this rumoured affair died a natural death and media then linked Rani to Abhishek Bachchan. Abhishek and Rani were a hit onscreen pair and there were reports that Jaya Bachchan was very fond of the Bengali actress as well. However, Abhishek and Rani's 'love story' was crushed when Abhishek went ahead and tied the knot with Aishwarya Rai.

Rani Mukerji shot to fame with her song 'Aati Kya Khandala' opposite Aamir Khan. Aamir and Rani shared a steaming on-screen chemistry in Vikram Bhatt's Ghulam (1998). It was their sensuous chemistry that translated off-screen also and they were both rumoured to be in love. Also, it was during this time that Aamir's relationship with his first wife Reena went through a rough phase and they divorced. Rani Mukerji has gone on record and confessed to Glamsham, "I had a crush on Aamir Khan." She also said to an interview to Mid-day, "He is someone who I can call even at 3 in the night and ask for help." Well, nothing fruitful translated out of those rumours and they ended up as "just good friends".

Govinda, who met Rani Mukerji on the sets of Hadh Kar Di Aapne (2000), became quite close to Rani Mukerji, and reportedly got into an extra-marital affair with the heroine. Their affair turned out to be a scandal as Govinda was once spotted in Rani's room in a night dress, when a journalist had gone to visit Rani at her place, as reported by Masala.com. According to the rumours, Govinda had spent a lot of money in gifting her high-end car, diamonds and a luxurious flat. Later Govinda's wife Sunita moved out of their house and Govinda, unlike Boney Kapoor, was not prepared to move out of his marriage and marry Rani and they broke up. Although Rani and Govinda never officially admitted that they were in a relationship, Rani went on record to say the two had maintained a distance due to his wife Sunita. Well, all's well that ends well. Govinda is happy in his life and Rani is happily married to Aditya Chopra.

Rani Mukerji and Abhishek Bachchan started bonding when they did films like Yuva and Bunty Aur Babli together. But this rumoured affair of Rani Mukerji didn't last long. There were reports that Jaya Bachchan was very fond of the Bengali actress as well. However, Abhishek and Rani's 'love story' soon died down when the actor went ahead and married former Miss World Aishwarya Rai. Though the rumours about Rani and Abhsihek were strong, they soon fizzled. Unlike her friendship with other co-stars, Rani could not keep up the same equation with Abhishek Bachchan as well. Bachchans didn't invite Rani to Abhishek-Aishwarya wedding also, and see the coincidence that Rani got married to the next date on which Abhi-Aish celebrate their wedding anniversary.
