Bollywood actor Rani Mukerji who is currently riding high on the success of her latest release, 'Mrs. Chatterjee Vs Norway', is celebrating her 45th birthday today.
Rani, who made her Bollywood debut with 'Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat' in 1997, today, is hailed as one of the most prolific and powerful artistes of all time who continues to inspire aspiring female actors.
The Bengali Beauty who took showbiz by storm with her back-to-back box office hits in the early 2000s still has a strong foothold in the Hindi film industry and keeps the audiences hooked every time she appears on the silver screen.
Having starred in critically acclaimed movies like 'Black', 'No One Killed Jessica', 'Mardaani', 'Hichki' to name a few, Rani has emblazoned her name as one of the strong and versatile actors in the hearts of her fans and audiences.
After reprising the role of a âcon artiste' in âBunty Aur Babli 2' in 2021, two years later, Rani is back with a thunderous bang on the big screen with âMrs. Chatterjee Vs Norway'.
Since morning, the internet has been buzzing with sweet birthday wishes and notes in ode for the beautiful actor. Right from her ardent fans to her friends from the film industry, everyone is showering the âMardaani' star with love on her special day.
