Mumbai: Right from love affairs to rivalries, the Hindi movie industry always has many siblings. Stars like Priyanka Chopra, Ameesha Patel, Shahid Kapoor and Kajol have their siblings who are also big names in the industry.
Many of us do not know that one of most popular cousins in the industry are Kajol and Rani Mukerji. Infact, Kajol and Rani are second cousins of each other. Kajol is daughter of Tanuja and Shomu Mukerji whereas Rani is daughter of Ram Mukerji and Krishna Mukerji. Ram and Shomu are first cousins.

While Kajol made her debut with Bekhudi in 1992, Rani entered the film industry with Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat (1997). Rani’s first film was a huge disappointment at the box office but the actress got recognition with her supporting role of Tina in Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol starrer Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai turned out to be the turning point of Rani Mukerji’s career. By then Kajol was a huge star of the film industry. Despite being from the same family, Kajol and Rani Mukerji were reportedly not on talking terms during the making of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. However, whenever the duo was asked about the same, they always rubbished it.
In the show, Koffee With Karan season 2, Karan Johar brought Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji on the same couch. When he asked about their relationship, Kajol had said that we are okay with each other. Rani also added that she is closer to Kajol’s real sister Tanishaa than her.
When Karan Johar asked Rani about one thing she would like to ask to Kajol on Koffee With Karan 3, her question was: ‘Why don’t you like me?’

In 2012, Kajol and Rani’s husband’s Ajay Devgn and Aditya Chopra added fuel to their cold war. Apparently, Ajay Devgn’s Son of Sardaar and Yash Chopra’s last film Jab Tak Hai Jaan had released on the same day. Due to clash at the box office, Ajay had reportedly accused Aditya for taking more screens. Since then, Kajol and Rani were always ignoring each other. Surprisingly, Rani didn’t invite Kajol for her wedding in 2014.
Years later, Kajol and Rani resolved their problems and surprised everyone by gelling up well at the celebration of 20 Years of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Now, everything is okay between Kajol and Rani.
