“This year DPL, next year IPL”- Rani Mukherjee

The Bong beauty Rani Mukherjee doest needs any introduction. The vivacious actress is debuting on small screen with the new reality show, Dance Premier League. She will be donning the seat as a judge in the show.

What was the reason for taking DPL?

I wasn’t planning to do this show as I was pretty obsessed with my latest film but then the concept just fell on my lap like a national extension. I like to dance and thus thought of taking up the show.

Is there any strategy of judging?

I am not here to see the technicality. I will be judging them on performance, entertainment level and on their passion for dancing. In other words I will be the voice of janta. Shiamak will be the perfect judge on the show who will look out the minuet details of the contestants.

Judges on such kind of reality shows, criticise more? So will the audience be seeing you doing the same with the contestants?

That’s the job of critics and you should ask them. As I said earlier that I am people’s voice and even if there is criticism, one should be able to take it in a positive way. We criticise as we want our loved ones to work proper and do better in life so there is no need to feel bad.

Will the audience be seeing the dancing talent of the judges too?

Well I can’t tell you about my self as after hiring me as the judge for the show, Sony may not afford the performance so there are less possibilities of me dancing on stage (laughs)

Can we term that this is your start with the small screen?

Yes definitely this is my start with the television world.

What took you so long for deciding to take up television?

To come on TV you need to take time. This is the platform where you can communicate through 50 million people at one go. There are public who doesn’t like to come on theatre and watch films so by doing this show in a small way I’m connecting with them. Through this show I can reach their homes. In short this is the right time to be on television.

How long did it take you to say yes for the show?

Well if you want me to give you details of every seconds then listen, it took me 127 hours, 30 minutes and 21 seconds to decide for this show

It’s been heard that you are planning to invest in IPL?

I can’t afford an IPL team but may be after signing DPL this year I will be able to afford one IPL team next year (grins).

Rani pledges her eyes to promote eye donation

It is the gift of vision that is a boon for us. After playing a blind girl in Black, Rani Mukherjee spread awareness of the need of eye donation on Sept 11, 10.30 am. The occasion was the culmination of the Eye Donation Fortnight organized by The Rotary Club of Bombay Seacoast jointly with Lotus Eye Hospital. The Eye Donation Awareness Campaign was launched with a walk in Juhu area, near Lotus Eye Hospital, which seeks to spread knowledge and awareness of the need for Eye Donation with the help of banners and widespread distribution of leaflets and donor pledge cards.
Said Dr. Aban Movdawalla and Dr. Samir Bhargava, President, Rotary Club of Bombay Seacoast, “Rani’s consummate portrayal of a blind girl in Black, a role which she researched and essayed to perfection won her millions of hearts and many awards. She was the perfect person to promote the cause of eye donation.”
Added Rani, “There are almost three million corneal blind persons in India and only less than 10,000 corneal transplants are taking place each year in India. Two eyes donated can light up the lives of two or even four blind people. It is a wonderful feeling to be part of the cause.”
Along with Rani Mukherjee, her father Mr. Ram Mukherjee too pledged his eyes.

Rani a Xerox of Harbhajan in Dil bole Hadippa!

Well it’s a long story, to list the similarities between the vivacious actress Rani Mukherjee and Harbhajan Singh. Not many people know that Bhajji inspires the sardar look, which Rani is donning in the flick Dil Bole Hadippa.

As per our sources, “Rani’s make up man needed a reference for the manly look of Rani in the flick, thus Yashraj people asked Bhajji if he doesn’t mind giving his picture for the same.”

“Thus Bhajji and few other cricketers are eagerly waiting for the film to release. If the buzz is to be believed, on the request of Bhajji, Yash Raj is planning to keep a secret screening for them before they leave India for matches,” adds the source.

Well Rani, the cat is out of the bag. As the secret behind the look of Rani in a Sardar avatar is out!

Rani Mukherjee ready to Blitz over Bollywood Again!

A rare combination of talent and sensuality Rani Mukherjee is renowned for her stupendous professionalism. Her professionalism is not limited to her film career. She recently donned the cover page of famous fashion magazine Hi! Blitz.

And if you think photo shoot for such magazines is a cakewalk, as one has to do nothing but pose out there in front of the camera, think again. Because, Rani has a different story to tell; when asked about her experience, she says, “Photo shoot for fashion magazines is not an easy task. It needs loads of patience at the same time correct body and facial expression to bring a perfect and desired look.”

She goes on to add, “As far as this shoot is concerned, I had a terrible knee ache, but commitments got to be met. However, I was very impatient and wanted things to wrap up fast and my designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee showed a great deal of patience (smiles).”

Well, Sabyasachi knows the true professional Rani inside out, for he has designed clothes for Rani in countless films. And considering the fact he is Rani’s favorite too, Sabyasachi would not have really mind her tantrums. Anything for Rani. Wotsay Mr. Mukherjee?
