Having been part of the film industry since 1995 and rendering memorable movies like ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, ‘Yuva’, ‘Black’ and ‘No One Killed Jessica’, actress Rani Mukherjee says she treats herself as a learner in front of senior actors Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan.
Rani, 34, has done two films with Aamir – ‘Ghulam’ and ‘Mangal Pandey’ – so far and will next be seen with him in ‘Talaash’, while she has done ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’,’Chalte Chalte’, ‘Veer Zaara’, ‘Paheli’ and ‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna’ with Shah Rukh.
The actress reveals that it is Aamir and Shah Rukh whose suggestions she follows.
“I have always treated myself as a youngster or learner in front of two people – Aamir and Shah Rukh. I do look up to them. I may not be shy in front of them anymore but I learn a lot from them,” Rani said in an interview here.
“When they suggest anything its important for me to take it. Because I know what they are suggesting is for my own good,” she added.
Rani feels Aamir is one such actor whose films people compulsorily go to watch as they know it is going to be good.
“Aamir is like somebody whose film is like compulsorily to be seen. If you know it is an Aamir Khan movie then you have to go and watch, irrespective of whether you like the promo or not,” Rani said.
“If people watch Aamir Khan film it is because he has created an image for himself. That is because of his single-minded focus for his work and his dedication. The kind of films he chooses to do have made an impact in peoples’ lives,” she added.
Rani is all praises for the way Aamir promotes his films and says she would any day go to watch them.
“The strategy with which Aamir promotes his films, we cannot deny the fact that he is a very intelligent person. And if he decides to do it in some way, probably he knows what he is doing,” she said.
