Juhi Chawla News

Bollywood producer, singer, actress and former Miss India 1984, Juhi Chawla, is certainly getting around these days.

She is being profiled on " Superstars Superlives" this week on ZoOM along with other Bollywood beauties Madhuri Dixit, Kajol Devgan and Rani Mukherjee.

Juhi was a judge on the reality dance show Jhalak Dikkhla Jha along with Saroj Khan and Vaibhavi Merchant.

Along with other Bollywood stars Preity Zinta, Shilpa Shetty, Arjun Rampal and Shahrukh Khan she is involved in the IPL (The Indian Premier League, a Twenty20 cricket competition).

And Juhi was in this years Luck By Chance, an Indian drama film written and directed by Zoya Akhtar.
Although critics mainly liked it, it didn't do too well at the box office.

But since 1986, she has been in almost 90 films. So I dont think one performing badly is going to hurt her much.
Besides the almost 90 films, she has produced three films, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani (2000), Asoka (2001) and Chalte Chalte (2003).

Rani Mukherjee Updates

Despite good reviews from critics, Rani Mukherjee's last film "Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic" didnt do well at the box office.
But this year she has three movies coming out.

She has a cameo as herself in "Luck by Chance", Zoya Akhtar's movie about an actor who goes in Mumbai to become a movie star.

In "Hadippa", she co-stars with Shahid Kapoor, Rakhi Sawant and Sherlyn Chopra.

And she will doing some voice acting in the animated film "Koochie Koochie Hota Hain".
The animated feature will be produuced by Karan Johar, and also stars Kajol and Sanjay Dutt.
It is an animated remake of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai

Rani Mukherjee is Back in Shape

Well evidently it worked!
Aamir Khan's personal fitness trainer Satyajit Chaurasia must have gotten Bollywood actress Rani Mukherjee into shape.
According to an article at apunkachoice.com, The Bengali beauty is back and looking better than ever.

And oneindia is reporting that Rani is going to start writing scripts.
They are saying that Rani is taking up writing to give her career a new lease on life.
I don't know about that, she seems to still have a fairly large fan base and with this "new" appearance, she may already have that new lease.

And by the way, Aishwarya Rai had an offer to replace Rani as the spokes person for a popular mosquito repellent cream, but turned it down. Ash is very particular and will only endorse products she believes in.
So I guess that means the mosquito repellent doesn't work.

Rani Mukherjee and Her Personal Trainer

The actresses in Bollywood run into the same problems that the actresses in Hollywood run into.
Rani Mukherjee was feeling bad about herself and her appearance.
So what did she do?
She hired Aamir Khan's personal fitness trainer, Satyajit Chaurasia to help her get into shape.
And it seems to have worked.
Rani has two movies coming out in 2009, Anurag Singh's next movie (no title yet) and Koochie Koochie Hota Hain, so everyone will get to see the results of Satyajit's training regime.
Well not so much with Koochie Koochie Hota Hain because it's animated. But I'm sure she'll hit the PR circuit.

Kajol

Deepika Padukone
Another foreign born Bollywood actress, she was born on born January 5, 1986 in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 2009 she will appear in Billu Barber (who isn't in this movie?), Chandni Chowk To China and Production No.1.

Madhuri Dixit
A bit older than the other actresses on this list,, she was born on May 15, 1967 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. She hasn't acted in a movie since Aaja Nachle in 2007, but that didn't stop her from coming in at seven on this list.

Priyanka Chopra
Born July 18, 1982 in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, India. She has three movies coming out in 2009. Billu Barber (Yes, her too), What's Your Raashee? and Kaminay

Rani Mukherjee
Born on March 21, 1978 Kolkata, West Bengal, India. She has only two movies coming out in 2009. Anurag Singh's Next and Koochie Koochie Hota Hain (with Kajol).

Preity Zinta
Born January 31, 1975 in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India. Only two movies for Preity in 2009. Main Aur Mrs. Khanna and Har Pall.

Is Rani Mukherjee the new Mrs Chopra?

Is Rani Mukherjee the new Mrs Chopra?

Is Rani Mukherjee married to top producer Aditya Chopra? No-one is saying but my source tells me the alleged couple will make an announcement very soon. This is because Mukherjee’s latest and perhaps last film as a leading lady, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag (A Stain on your Reputation), is released this week. Why is it that in 2007 Bollywood actresses still feel the need to appear single in order to be successful? The key exception of course is the new Mrs Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, who is as busy as ever with her Bollywood and Hollywood projects.

Rani Mukherjee , part 1

Rani Mukherjee (Bengali: রাণী মুখার্জী (also known as Rani Mukerji), born March 21, 1978 in Bengal, India) is an Indian film actress. She is a 6 time Filmfare Award Winner. She is one of the most popular actresses in the industry. Since her first break on celluloid in 1996, the actress has appeared in nearly 40 films. Today, she has emerged as one of the finest and most successful actresses of the country.

Mukherjee comes from a film-oriented family of Bengali origin: Her father Ram Mukherjee is a retired director and her mother Krishna formerly worked as a playback singer. Her brother Raja Mukherjee is also a film producer. Her maternal aunt, Debashree Roy, was a popular Bengali actress and her cousin Kajol is another successful Bollywood actress. Sharbani Mukherjee is her cousin.

She graduated from Maneckjee Cooper High School in Juhu. Soon afterwards, Rani received a few film offers and thus, set her foot on the Indian film-industry capital, Mumbai. From there onwards, she pursued a high-profile career in acting and became an integral part of the world's largest film-industry.

Her first Hindi film was Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat (1996), which did not do well at the box office. However, her next two releases - Ghulam and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) - were hits. For the latter she received her first Filmfare Award in the Best Supporting Actress category.

Mukherjee was in great demand after sudden stardom and signed contracts to work in many promising projects. Unfortunately, most of the movies didn't do well at the box office. Though Badal was the sixth highest grossing film of the year 2000, her most quantitative year in terms of movies released, she was still producing more average movies than expected from her. In 2002, she re-established her fame in Saathiya which was critically and commercially successful.

In 2003, she starred in Chalte Chalte opposite Shah Rukh Khan; the film was a semi-hit. 2004 was the most significant year in her career. Her performances in Yuva and the commercially successful Hum Tum earned her even more awards - the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award for the former, and the Filmfare Best Actress Award for the latter. Her performance as a Pakistani lawyer in Veer-Zaara was also acclaimed and earned her many award nominations. She then became a major part of the Yash Raj Films, the biggest Bollywood production house.

In 2005, Mukherjee starred in four high-profile films. Bunty Aur Babli and The Rising were among the biggest grossers of the year. She received critical acclaim for every film, especially her performance in Black. She also won all the major awards for Black that year. These successes established Mukherjee as one of the industry's most bankable stars.

Mukherjee had two releases in 2006: Karan Johar's Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, which was one of the most successful movie of the year [13] and B.R. Chopra's Baabul. The poignant story of a widow did not shape up well with the audiences and the much hyped-movie performed poorly at the box office.

The actress has been an active stage performer and participated in numerous world tours. Temptations 2004 was her most successful concert, in which she performed alongside Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Preity Zinta, Arjun Rampal and Priyanka Chopra. She also appeared along with various other Bollywood actors at the Closing Ceremony of the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, as part of a performance showcasing Indian culture, on behalf of the 2010 Commonwealth Games, to be held in Delhi. For her one-and-a-half-minute dance act alongside Saif Ali Khan, she was reportedly paid 1.5 crore rupees, the equivalent of about 300,000 U.S. dollars.
