Ranbir Kapoor reflects on Rani Mukerji’s cinematic journey
Ranbir Kapoor is filled with genuine happiness as he watches the Indian film industry unite to honour Rani Mukerji’s remarkable 30‑year journey in cinema, marked by the release of ‘Mardaani 3’.
For Ranbir, this celebration is personal. Rani was his co‑star in his debut film ‘Saawariya’, and at a time when he needed steady support, she stood firmly by his side. That early bond shaped a deep admiration, one that has only grown stronger over the years.
Ranbir says, “Rani is the co-star of my first film ‘Sawaariya’ and she is the first person who told me that if I worked hard, I would go a long way. I will never forget that interaction because it gave me so much confidence when I needed it the most. I have seen her as a person closely, I have seen her work closely and have been bowled over by her grace, charm and brilliance.”

Her choice of projects and roles have shaped how women are portrayed on the screen today.”
Ranbir reveals Rani only wants to spread joy through her cinema. He says, “Thank you Rani for the movies, the memories, the nostalgia and the powerhouse performances. She is an entertainer who has dedicated her life to make people happy and I don’t have words to describe the impact her films have had on me.”
