Is She or isn't she?
All sorts of confusion is surrounding the engagement(or no engagement) of Rani Mukherjee with Yash Raj film's future, Aditya Chopra.
While in the morning it was reported that both had gotten engaged, its now being hotly denied by everyone other than the couple in question
The news was initially broken by major news channels and Times of India.
fter Abhishek and Aishwarya wedding, the Bollywood is once again geared up for wedding season. This time, actress Rani Mukherjee and producer Aditya Chopra had a quiet engagement on Monday and are said to be getting married soon.
According to sources, the engagement ceremony was organised at the Chopra bungalow Roka. It is also reported that about 60 people were present at the ceremony including Rani’s parents, brother and his wife.
Aditya’s brother Uday Chopra, dad Yash Chopra and mom Pamela Chopra were also present. Among others who attended the ceremony were Jugal Hansraj (Uday’s close friend), Anupam and Kirron Kher.
Rani wore a maroon sari with silver embroidery and Aditya wore a kurta-pyjama, both designed by Pallavi Jaikishan. Speculations are that another function will be held at Rani’s residence sometime next week.
36-year old Aditya recently divorced his ex-wife, Payal Chopra. The couple got married in 2001. Sources claim that Aditya’s mom Pam Chopra is not too happy about Rani and her son’s engagement because she has a soft corner for Payal.
And now we have a denial from the Yash Raj camp. A company spokesperson said reports that Mukherjee was engaged to top director and producer Aditya Chopra were "all rubbish". Rani's father Ram Mukherjee also issued a press release on Wednesday, denying the speculation. "This is a rumor. the news is not true at all. Rani is busy with her work and she will not do anything secretly," he said. Actor Anupam Kher, who reportedly attended the "Roka" ceremony has also rubbished the report.
Interestingly Neither Mukherjee, nor Chopra, have made any statement on the issue. Their families, too, are tight-lipped.
