While Ghulam was not Rani Mukerji’s debut film, this Aamir Khan movie earned the actress her first big hit. Rani joined the big league with this film that went on to win both the critics and audience. In fact, till date Rani-Aamir’s Aati Kya Khandala song remains one of the coolest Bollywood songs. In a recent interview with Rajeev Masand and Anupama Chopra the Hichki actress revealed an episode where Aamir Khan’s cold behaviour left her heartbroken. That’s right, the actress went on to confess during this chat that she was a huge Aamir and Juhi Chawla fan.

According to Rani as a kid when she had visited the sets of her family owned studio, Filmalay, the actress had carried an autograph book. Mr Perfectionist was filming for his movie Love Love Love. Rani confessed that she had specially decorated the autograph book with a heart and written ‘Dearest Aamir’. However, on reaching the sets the Hum Tum actress was taken aback by the Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak hero’s behaviour. Rani reveals how Juhi greeted her with the warmest smile, hugged her and even doled out a special autograph for the little girl. Aamir Khan, who was engrossed in the shoot of an action sequence wasn’t as pleasant. To Rani’s utter dismay, Khan grabbed her autograph book signed it and returned the book back to her.

It seems Rani trolls Aamir till date and even ensured that she confronted her Ghulam star about his “dismissive” behaviour. Rani even asked Aamir if the actor was good to his fans. Things have changed a lot over the years because Rani admitted that AK is one of the closest friends in the industry today. However, things were pretty different while they started working on Ghulam together. Apparently, Rani was so shy that she couldn’t look into the hero’s eyes while filming for Aankhon Se Tune song.

Rani has come a long way since then, because by her own admission the actress can now romance a tree and make things work. The Black actress credits the two Khan – Aamir and Shah Rukh for this. That’s not all; according to Rani it was her Hello Brother co-star Salman Khan who taught her to be cool. Well, the actress still shares a warm bond with all the three Khans and was one of the first few actresses to have worked with this powerful trio very early on in her career.
