Bollywood star Rani Mukherjee and producer-director Aditya Chopra had a quiet engagement and are said to be getting married soon.
About 60 people were present at the ceremony including Rani’s parents, brother and his wife. Aditya’s brother Uday Chopra, dad Yash Chopra and mom Pamela Chopra were also present. Among others who attended the ceremony were Jugal Hansraj (Uday’s close friend), Anupam Kher and Kiron Kher .
Rani wore a maroon sari with silver embroidery and Aditya wore a kurta-pyjama, both designed by Pallavi Jaikishan. 36-year old Aditya recently divorced his ex-wife, Payal. The couple got married in 2001. Sources claim that Aditya’s mom Pam Chopra is not too happy about Rani and her son’s engagement because she has a soft corner for Payal. Also the buzz is that after marriage Rani is not going to live in the Chopra house.
Instead Aditya will live in the house Rani has recently bought. No date has been set for the wedding, since Aditya is in the middle of a divorce from Payal. The rumour mills say that his family is unhappy about Aditya's decision. Tabloids also say that Yash Chopra had threatened to disinherit Aditya from the Rs 1,000 crore Yashraj Films empire if he does marry Rani. It's believed that Aditya and Rani have been seeing each other for two years, and that Aditya took to Rani after working with her on his home production Saathiya.
Aditya subsequently cast Rani in many films produced under the Yashraj banner, including Mujhse Dosti Karoge , Hum Tum , Veer Zaara , Bunty Aur Babli , Tara Rum Pum and the forthcoming Laaga Chunari Mein Daag . Rani has reduced her workload in the last one year. The 29-year-old actress is currently working on only three films.
The couple has never been spotted together. In fact, Aditya is known to be a recluse. He has given only one print interview in his life, and has never appeared on television. Aditya is the mastermind behind transforming Yashraj studios from a modest film company into Bollywood’s biggest film conglomerate.
