Rani Mukerji - NOTHING TO HIDE

Couple of changes

        Their relationship has invited much speculation in the past. But despite intense pressure, they have never publicly confirmed it. in fact,if anything, Rani Mukerji has periodically chosen to deny her proximity to Aditya Chopra. But while Adi is known for the inordinate measures he takes to keep his private life just that, a public appearance with his lady love seemed just out of the question. That is, till last week.

           The occasion was the birthday of Hiroo Johar, Karan Johar's mother. the get together at a south Mumbai hotel was a very low key affair with just close friends in attendance. Adi was the special guest that night And who should he choose to have on his arm when he made his appearance, than the now dqually reclusive Rani Mukerji?

        Gone was the furtiveness, the 'who us?' pretension. In its place was a deep comfort level that was visible to all present. Says an eye witness, "Rani and Adi came in together and looked very much a couple. They walked in just before midnight and sat down for dinner next to each other. It's a clear public statement that Rani is indeed  his girl friend. "

         Says another source, "Forget being seen with Rani, Adi doesn't like to be seen in public even by himself. He has been dating Rani for nearly three years now but never has he made a public appearance with her by his side. "
