Rani the nanny!

In town a couple of days ago, Rani looked cool in a spaghetti-strapped kurta-pyjami ensemble.

She has cut her long locks, styled to fall just so about her shoulders. Ask her about this image change, and she says, “This is a change, yes.”

But the change is more to suit the look of the Kunal Kohli movie that she is currently shooting for, than for making a personal style statement. She’s playing the role of a nanny with magical powers (read angel), she says, and has had to prepare herself to do a number of stunts that the movie requires.

Apart from that, life at large, says Rani, has been good for her. “Life is good! It always is. I like things and people with positivism, and that keeps me happy too,” says the lady who turned 30 just a few days ago, even as she gets ready to pose for a picture. One click, and she moves away from the frame. Wouldn’t she like to give a different pose, we ask her. “I am not the type who loves giving pictures all the time, and keeps smiling at the camera,” she insists. Ok, point taken!

But then, Rani has been putting her foot down more often these days. Some days ago, when someone asked her about the rumours of her marriage with Aditya Chopra, this is what she had said, “Why does a woman need to get married to be complete? She can fullfill her life on her own and she does not need to get married. A man does not have to complete her, she can complete herself on her own.” Chapter succintly closed, what say?
