Rani Mukerji (once transliterated Rani Mukherjee) born March 21, 1978), is a popular Indian actress in Bollywood movies.
Family background
She comes from a film-clan family of Bengali origin: Her father, Ram Mukherjee is a retired director. Her mother Krishna used to be a playback singer, while her brother Raja Mukherjee is a film producer. Bollywood actress Kajol is her second cousin. (See Mukherjee-Samarth family)
Career
She began her film career with the Bengali film Biyar Phool. However, she made her Hindi debut in Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat (1996). The film did not do well at the box-office. Her next two releases Ghulam and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) were successful. For the latter she received her first Filmfare Award as Best Supporting Actress (1998).
She appeared in a fair number of movies after Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, but none of them were enormous successes. Her career seemed to be stalled, until she starred in the 2001 film Saathiya, directed by Shaad Ali. The film was critically and commercially successful.

In 2005 she starred in the films Black, Bunty Aur Babli, Paheli and The Rising. Bunty Aur Babli was a major success and her performances in the other three films were appreciated, especially in Black, which made her win all the major awards of the year.
Her next two releases will be Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and Baabul.
Mukerji is also an active stage performer. She starred in the successful Temptations 2004 concert with Shahrukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Preity Zinta, Arjun Rampal and Priyanka Chopra.

Lousy actress and reflective of the mediocrity that thoroughly pervades India.

I think she's one of the most established actresses. I'lll see KANK and then decide, though. By the way, this question shouldn't really be in this category.
