Rani8217;s celebrating because she and Preity won Rs 50 lakh on the Holi special of KBC. The clincher came with the half-a-crore question. Who was not born on August 15? While Rani was all for Raakhee Gulzar, Preity rooted for Napoleon. The duo agreed they needed to phone a friend. The friend was Javed Akhtar. Their time was up before Akhtar could come up with an answer. The actors decided to rely on their heart. 8220;Since we both like Salman Khan we decided to go with Salman Rushdie. We were right!8221; Rani chortles. Rushdie was born on June 19, 1947!
Naseer mila re
A friend in deed
Last week Rani Mukherji had taken time off from Sanjay Leela Bhansali to oblige good friend Shah Rukh Khan. She was shooting a special episode of KBC3 with Preity Zinta. Though the actor had promised Sanjay that she would be on the Saawariya set by 1.30 p.m. the shoot was delayed by a couple of hours and Rani drove up to the studio only around 3.30 p.m. She was not alone. Accompanying her was Preity8230;and Shah Rukh himself. Always the gentleman, her Khan dost came along to apologise to his Devdas director for holding up the shoot. And he came bearing a gift too. A well-loaded hamper delivered with oodles of charm. That8217;s SRK!
