Rani Mukherji: The petite actress said the night was surely going to be a memorable one, as the awards were selected purely by the fans and the fact that she was nominated for and won the Sabsey Favourite Heroine Award only added to the actress' glow.

the ‘Ta Ra Rum Pum’ actress now says she shares the best vibe with Saif Ali Khan. “Saif and I are not friends, but we share great chemistry on the sets. If he’s stuck on a scene, he doesn’t hesitate to ask for my advice,” adding in good humour, “We’re very vain - we look at our performances and pat each other on the back!”
She dismisses rumours of fighting with him in New York. “I wish Saif well and I know he feels he same towards me. We’ve grown as actors. ‘Hum Tum’ was a breakthrough film for both of us; it bonded us and got me an award.”

Rani On Celebrities
On Aamir Khan: Oh yes! He was my hero in Ghulam. After that there was a long gap until Mangal Pandey. In between he did want me for Lagaan. Today, we're very close friends. The equation is different. I remembered how he used to show me to do scenes. He still tells me how to do my scenes. I admit I did Mangal Pandey for Aamir. I can never say no to Aamir or Shahrukh.
On Shahrukh Khan: He treats me like a child, tells me how to face the camera. He constantly motivates me to give my best. His dedication and focus have shown me how to conduct my own career.
On Saif Ali Khan: He's such a focused and committed actor![21] It's so wonderful working with him. What fun we had! Saif and I have grown together as actors. Hum Tum was a breakthrough film for both of us. It got me my first best actress award. The film bonded us. He has come a long way from Hum Tum to Ta Ra Rum Pum. Saif and I are not friends off the sets. We don't chat on the phone and we don't go out for dinner together. But on camera we share great chemistry. We are a great help to each other. If he's stuck on a scene he doesn't hesitate to ask for my advice. I really wish Saif well in life. And I know he feels the same for me. We are both very vain about ourselves. We keep looking at each other's performances and patting each other on the back.
On Abhishek Bachchan: The thing about me and Abhishek is that we are such close pals that our chemistry works on the big screen. That’s why after Bunty Aur Babli, Karan Johar has signed us both in a film together.
On Aishwarya Rai: Ashu-Ma, you know I love you. And I just want to say one thing that we are going to be friends forever.
On Preity Zinta: Preity is a lovely co-star. All our films together have worked. She keeps joking that she'll put me in her wedding picture to ensure her marriage remains a superhit. As for Preity Zinta, we share an on-screen rapport but we were never friends. Preity and I have always shared a good working relationship. We were never great pals, but we vibe so well on-screen that to the media and outsiders it appears that we are great friends in real life, too.
On Sanjay Leela Bhansali: Bhansali is a very sensitive director. The way he approaches every aspect of filmmaking is awe-inspiring. 'Black' is his baby. It's certainly not an easy subject to direct and he has shown his class by giving the film such a sensitive treatment.

Koffee With Karan
Rani Quotes
On Madhuri Dixit: I remember Beta making a huge impact on me. I had gone completely mad about Madhuri after seeing the movie. I was one of the fortunate ones to go for her wedding. And I was deeply shattered. But I was of course happy for her also. For all us fans, you know, when Madhuri used to do a film, it used to make a difference for all of us. Because there’s nobody like Madhuri, she’s like the legend.
On Saif Ali Khan: He's a fantastic actor because he is so unpredictable. I really saw a gradual change in him from Hum Tum to Ta Ra Rum Pum when I worked with him now. He's growing everyday as an actor. He's becoming completely flawless.

At Special Events
On being honored at the Casablanca Film Festival in 2005: Fifty thousand people on the beach watching 'Chalte Chalte' with me, then asking me questions about the songs and dances, the idiom and language of expression was incredible. I don't think I'll ever forget my experience in Casablanca.
On being invited to the State Dinner with General Pervez Musharraf: It was like a dream come true! To just be part of such an event made me feel that I've done something to achieve this. All the biggest dignitaries from both sides of the border were so cultured and down-to-earth. When I was invited, I was disbelieving and overjoyed. I'm really looking forward to going to Pakistan. Let's see where the invitation comes from. Maybe it will come directly from the Begum (President Musharraf's wife). They actually want me and Latabai (Lata Mangeshkar) to come to Pakistan!.
