Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor has heaped praise on Rani Mukerji, who has clocked three decades in Hindi cinema, and said that he has always felt that she is one for the ages, one of the greatest ever actors in India, and someone who has defined the Hindi film industry through her work.

Talking about his "Sawaariya" co-star, Ranbir said: "Rani is the co-star of my first film Sawaariya, and she is the first person who told me that if I worked hard, I would go a long way. I will never forget that interaction because it gave me so much confidence when I needed it the most."

"I have seen her as a person closely, I have seen her work closely and have been bowled over by her grace, charm, and brilliance."

Rani will soon be seen in the third installment of "Mardaani", which is directed by Abhiraj Minawala and produced by Aditya Chopra.

"Mardaani 3" delves into another dark and brutal reality of our society, further strengthening the franchise's legacy of impactful, issue-based storytelling.

Respect where it's due. Ranbir is right. In an industry that often sidelines actresses after a certain age, Rani has consistently chosen powerful roles and delivered. Her career is a masterclass in longevity and relevance. Can't wait for Mardaani 3!

While I agree Rani is a great actor, I feel this praise is a bit over the top? "One of the greatest ever in India" is a huge statement. We have had so many phenomenal actors across Indian cinema. She is definitely top-tier, but maybe let's keep some perspective.

It's so nice to see such genuine admiration between colleagues. That story about her encouraging him on his first film is lovely. It shows the human side of Bollywood beyond the glamour. Wishing both of them the best!

Her filmography is incredible. Hum Tum, Bunty aur Babli, Ta Ra Rum Pum, No One Killed Jessica... the list goes on. Each character felt so distinct. She makes acting look effortless. A true star and a phenomenal actor. 30 years is a huge achievement. 🎉

As a 90s kid, Rani defined my childhood and teenage years. Her songs, her style, everything! It's amazing to see her evolve and take on such hard-hitting roles now with the Mardaani series. She uses her stardom for important messages. Respect!
