Rani Mukerji recently opened up on her working relationships with Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan. During an interview with Galatta Plus, the actor shared how it felt working with each Khan and how different they are in their approaches. She also quipped how Shah Rukh calls her ‘Baby.’
Rani worked with Aamir in Ghulam in 1998. She said, “When I met Aamir and saw him work in Ghulam, it was incredible. I had watched him in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak as a young girl and had a huge crush on him. He was so cute in QSQT. I think I crushed on Juhi equally.”
She also added, “When I was signed for Ghulam, I remember thinking, ‘Oh my God, I’m going to work with such a big star.’ But what struck me most was the dedication he brought to every shot – the sensitivity, the seriousness, and how much of himself he gave to the performance. These were my early days in the industry, and I imbibed all of that.”
While speaking about Aamir, she opened up on working with Shah Rukh Khan. “After that, I worked with Shah Rukh. I had seen him in DDLJ as a young girl. It released in 1995, the same year I was shooting my first film, Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat. Working with these two mega stars felt surreal,” she said.
But why does Shah Rukh call her ‘Baby’? Rani quipped, “Shah Rukh comes with this gentle, sensitive energy. He treated me like a baby—I was barely 18 when I worked with him – and he still calls me ‘baby’ to this day. Like Aamir, Shah Rukh is extremely focused on giving his best shot. They were like my teachers on set.”
About working with Salman, Rani said, “When I met Salman, it was a 360-degree turn. His dedication to his craft is very different. He walks in with this swag and a bindaas attitude. You might feel like he’s not really ‘there’, but he is absolutely present. He’s so good-looking that when he walks on set, everyone just looks at him. He’s very casual about his work, but he works incredibly hard. People don’t recognise it because he doesn’t let them into that zone. He’s constantly contributing – talking about the scene, doing something different.”
She also said, “They are three stalwarts in their own right, and they approach their work very differently. But at the core, all three are equally committed, passionate, and lovable. I love all three of them equally – they each hold a special place in my heart.”
