Rani Mukherjee in bikini is hard to digest

Mumbai: Rani Mukherjee is a talented and respected actress but her recent flick where she strips down to bikini.

But is that worth it, agreed that she is looking stunningly beautiful in the film and her new diva image is making her years younger. But the same trick may not work with every time.

Kareena did that in Kambakkht Ishq and it paid..because Kareena already had a seductive diva image.

In Dil bole Hadippa, the question is slightly different, Rani is a more matured actress and demands respect and Yash Raj Camp must understand this.

May be Rani’s staunch fans can’t really accept her shedding dwon clothes on a broader level.

Kissa Rani Mukherjee ki bikini ka

So how did the elegant and demure Rani Mukherjee wind up gyrating sexily in a bikini in Dil Bole Hadippa?

Many think it was an attempt to keep up with newer starlets on the scene who think nothing of showing some skin, especially as many of them work hard on having bodies to die for. Well, no, it wasn’t some carefully crafted plan to re-launch Rani’s career but in fact a chance conversation with designer Manish Malhotra which prompted Rani’s sexy new avatar.

Rani was talking to Manish and mentioned how much she had toned up her body in preparation for playing a cricketer in the film and Manish, who is no stranger to sexy outfits, decided it was a pity to keep that hot bod under wraps. The song was born, Rani is looking hot and the rest as they say, is history.

So, it seems that we have Manish to thank for that song and that bikini; good call Manish!

Rani recommends Salman's 'Wanted'

Bollywood stars Rani Mukherji and Salman Khan may be vying for the audience attention as both of their releases 'Dil Bole Hadippa' and 'Wanted' clash this Friday but the actress is determined not to let that come between their friendship.

However Rani's friendship with Salman seems to be above all as the actress has asked her loyal fans to go ahead and watch 'Wanted'.

"I would request all my fans to please go and see 'Wanted'.

Shahid Rani on dus Ka dum

If Rani lost weight for Dil Bole Hadippa, then the even more professional Shahid Kapoor built his muscles for Kaminey. And while at it, Shahid jokes, and says on Salman’s Dus Ka Dum, “I did three four other films to use the good physique to the maximum.”

But Salman, who appreciates everybody who takes care of their physical health, advised him, “Never let go of this good habit!” and turning around to Rani advised: “You better watch out too. For if you give up now you will spread sideways! If we don’t like what we see in the mirror, how will the audience?” Valid point.

Sharing her training regimen for Dil Bole Hadippa, Rani Mukherjee says “I did initially was to decide that I did not actually want to or need to lose weight but actually tone my body. If you see athletes or sportspeople, they have very athletic, worked out and toned bodies. So you need a toned body to look like an athlete.”

She says, “..I should look like an athlete, firstly for my role and secondly, I guess when I started the toning down, I wanted to lose that little extra weight that I had put on towards the end of Thoda Pyaar, Thoda Magic.”

Rani adds “So, I started with power-yoga. I did a lot of yoga. I did a lot of cardio and when I had lost the weight, I did a lot of weight training to tone up the body. The training regimens of course included zipping up my mouth for six months and not eat my favourite macher-jhol-bhaat and mishti (sweets).”

About her diet, she adds “I also had to forego the French fries which I adore. But after that I got into a balanced diet mode where I ate nutritious food and food that helped me look great. My main concern was that when people start losing weight, it shows on their faces.”

She says, “I am looking bright and healthy because my food is very, very nutritious. What I also introduced to in the bargain is that the food you must eat is the one that is good for you. That is for life.”

Rani Mukherjee tones up her body to look hot

Mumbai, (ANI): Bollywood actress Rani Mukherjee has shed extra kilos and toned up her body to look the part in her latest film Dil Bole Hadippa where she plays a sportsperson. Mukherjee, known for her path-breaking roles within the mould of commercial cinema, is starring opposite Shahid Kapoor in the film.

"I'm playing cricket in the movie. So it's my conscious decision. If I have to play a cricketer's character, then I have to look like an athlete. I have to tone my body like how sportsmen kind of tone their bodies while they are on the field. They look really toned. And I think for the role I consciously look like the character," Mukherjee said.

Ask Aditya for Rani’s marriage plans!

Rani Mukerji put Salman Khan’s patience to test by taking a long time to answer his question on his show, 10 Ka Dum. The actress, apparently, took so long to answer that Salman went and sat on the sofa. He also told her to tell him when she was ready with the answer and remarked that she was taking longer than even Aamir Khan to answer. Only when she was done would he return to the show.

Recently, a TV channel interviewed her and asked her about her marriage plans. She has apparently got tired of the media asking her that again and again, and has now asked them to question Aditya Chopra (who is her alleged boyfriend) about it.

When Shahid met Salman on Dus Ka Dum 2

Salman Khan and Shahid Kapoor shared bad vibes during the Rockstar tour three years ago. So Shahid was hardly a contender on the list of possible stars for Salman's show 10 Ka Dum. But the impossible happened and Kapoor ended up on one episode of Khan's show, along with Rani Mukerji for their upcoming film Dil Bole Hadippa.

According to an eye-witness on the show, the two actors shared cold vibes during filming, "Rani arrived first and went to Salman's dressing room to greet Salman. Later Shahid dropped in to meet the host and break the ice. Salman was cordial but not as warm as he was to Rani."

The meeting formality done, Shahid went on to the sets to rehearse and he was bright and cheerful but once Salman came on stage, the whole atmosphere changed. The source adds, "Salman was very friendly and warm with Rani and kept hugging her.

With Shahid, he appeared formal and aloof. His 'Hi' to Shahid was dry, even though normally, he is very warm with his guests. Also each time he addressed the younger actor, he seemed indifferent. During the knockout round, Rani had more correct answers and her co-star's face fell but Salman did nothing to cheer him up. For most of his questions, he asked Rani to share her thoughts and experiences; he was cool and indifferent with the Kaminey star."

The finale was the time when it became obvious that Salman did have a problem with Shaks. "While Salman gave Rani a long, warm hug, all Shahid got was a half-hearted hug - just an arm around the shoulders. Salman never made any attempt to make Shahid feel at ease, like he does with his other contestants. It was obvious that the normally chatty Salman was not at ease with Shahid."

The producer of the show Anita Basu admits that Salman was warmer with Rani and reserved with Shahid but adds, "That's because Salman has known Rani for a long time and they are almost like chaddi buddies so naturally there is a different kind of warmth and relationship they both share.

Salman didn't make it obvious but played the host perfectly and was cordial. I guess, to him, Shahid is still a newcomer and he was much warmer with Rani as they are really thick friends."

Both Shahid Kapoor and Salman Khan remained unavailable for comment.

The Shahid-Rani episode will be aired on Sony TV on September 12.

Rani Mukherjee plays hard cricket

It’s now known by all that Rani Mukherjee plays the role of a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa. But not many are aware about Rani’s aim for perfecting the art of playing the game of cricket. It is learnt that she trained really hard for the game before beginning work on the film.

Our unit source revealed, “Rani actually started practising the game a good six months before the film even went on the floors. The person who trained Rani to master the game is a well-known Indian cricket player, but her name is being kept under wraps since she doesn’t want people to know about her involvement in the film. The coach monitored Rani throughout her practice, and made sure that she perfected her shots well. Rani has been practising the game wherever she traveled and has practised on the grounds in Delhi and Punjab too.”

Well, whether Rani mastered her fours and sixes will be known only after the film releases. But for now, Rani’s current svelte figure is testimony enough that she has run across the pitch!
