Rani Mukerji and Shah Rukh Khan share one of Hindi cinema’s most cherished on-screen pairings. From the innocence of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to the emotional complexity of Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, their collaborations
have consistently struck a chord with audiences. As Mardaani 3 releases in theatres today, Rani reflected on this long-standing bond and revealed why romancing Shah Rukh Khan on screen has always felt effortless for her.
Why Rani Mukerji Loves Romancing Shah Rukh Khan
In a recent conversation with Zoom, Rani spoke candidly about the comfort she experiences while working with Shah Rukh Khan. According to her, his warmth creates a unique emotional space that makes co-stars feel instantly valued.
“I’ve always loved romancing Shah Rukh because there’s a different kind of love that Shah Rukh has for everybody,” Rani said. “Anyone who’s in his company feels that Shah Rukh loves them the most.”
She added that she feels most relaxed and uninhibited around Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan, explaining that both actors give her the freedom to be herself without judgement or pressure.
“I guess the love they have for me comes from the fact that they’ve seen me since I was 17,” she shared. “They’ve seen me grow from a little girl to a young woman, and now as a mother. They’ve witnessed my entire journey.”
Mardaani 3: Shivani Shivaji Roy Returns
Mardaani 3 sees Rani Mukerji step back into the role of fearless police officer Shivani Shivaji Roy, a character that has become synonymous with strength and moral resolve. The film opens on a grim and unsettling note, centring on a child trafficking racket and the mysterious disappearance of several young girls.
As the investigation intensifies, Shivani comes face-to-face with her most formidable opponent yet—Amma, the ruthless leader of a beggar mafia that exploits children for profit. With her vast network and brutal methods, Amma presents a threat unlike any Shivani has faced before.
The trailer teases high-stakes action, emotionally charged moments, and violent confrontations, underlining Shivani’s relentless pursuit of justice at any cost.

Rani returns to the franchise with renewed intensity, while Mallika Prasad plays the primary antagonist. Janaki Bodiwala, who was last seen in Shaitaan, also features in a significant role.
Written by Aayush Gupta and directed by Abhiraj Minawala, Mardaani 3 is produced by Aditya Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner, continuing the franchise’s tradition of hard-hitting, socially relevant storytelling.,
