Rani Mukherjee is one of the top actresses of today, that's for sure and now, she has the right to say: "been there, done that." http://filmfaremagazine.indiatimes.com/articleshow/333625.cms?&right=1&fright=1&botlink=1. Perkins will play an upstanding member of the community whose son falls in love with Parker's daughter. Hum Tum was another big hit in the following year and by the end of 2004, her film, Veer-Zaara broke all records at the box-office and became a blockbuster accumulating more than 50 crores of rupees worldwide. The series is about a suburban mother (played by Mary-Louise Parker) who, upon the death of her husband, resorts to dealing marijuana to make money, while also attempting to maintain her reputation in the community. The year 2003 brought her Chalte Chalte, another hit with her favorite colleague, Shah Rukh Khan, despite not winning any awards for this one, she did get every other nomination for Best Actress within all the awards ceremonies for Indian Cinema. Perkins recently filmed the pilot episode of a new Showtime series entitled Weeds. Saathiya was a big hit for her which even got her another Filmfare Award but this time under the category for Best Actress judged by the critics which is even bigger than the popular award for Best Actress. In 2000 she married her present husband, Julio Macat.

It was not until 2002 when her movies started breaking box-office records. Perkins' first husband was Terry Kinney, from whom she divorced. After winning several awards for her beautiful role in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, she was bombarded with countless offers. She starred thereafter in the comedy series Battery Park and If These Walls Could Talk, and has since then played roles in television films on a regular basis. She has been through a lot in the beginning of her few years here in Bollywood. In 1993 Perkins made her television debut in For Their Own Good. Though she had the introduction into the Bollywood through her first movie Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat in 1996, she was in the news with her wonderful performance in Ghulam and with her third movie Rani was in headlines again receiving the Best Supporting Actress award from Filmfare for her active and playful performance in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai thus enhancing herself in the Bollywood. Of all the films she has acted in, her biggest success so far has been however The Flintstones, starring also John Goodman, in which she plays the long-suffering Wilma Flinstone.

And it's a phenomenon that unless Rani hasn't put loads of concentration and tremendous personal effort in the roles she play, she wouldn't have been where she is now. She then received critical acclaim for her performance in Barry Levinson's Avalon. Being a cousin of one of the most versatile actress, Kajol, it's obvious that Rani too has got it through her genetic influences to enact the roles she's been given. As a movie actress she had her breakthrough starring with Tom Hanks in Big. She is the daughter of director Ram Mukherjee. Thereafter she worked in several ensembles and has since then considered theater playing as a priority of her career. http://www.bollywoodheaven.com/details.php?image_id=1153.
