Ahead of the party, Rani’s husband Aditya Chopra was seen getting two icecreams. He had two cones with vanilla and chocolate icecreams in each hand. Rani and Aditya tied the knot in 2014 in Italy in a private ceremony. They have a daughter, Adira.

On her 44th birthday, Rani spoke about her journey in the film industry. News agency ANI quoted Rani as saying, “I have never accepted to be typecast or fit in a mould. I have always tried to be part of meaningful films with a very strong female protagonist at the centre of the story. I wanted to be a part of good films with important stories about Indian women.

She also added, “There have been times where I have been blessed with films that have worked and some that missed to make a mark with the audience but I think that’s the best part about our industry. You win some and lose some and that helps you to grow from strength to strength to carve a special place as an individual artiste in a cutthroat industry like ours.”

Rani has featured in many films such as Ghulam, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Black, No One Killed Jessica, Hum Tum, Mardaani, Yuva, Saathiya, Veer-Zaara, Bunty Aur Babli. Rani was last seen in Bunty Aur Babli 2 opposite Saif Ali Khan. The film, which released last year, marked their on-screen reunion after more than a decade. Directed by Varun V Sharma, the film also featured Siddhant Chaturvedi and Sharvari Wagh. Meanwhile, Rani will be seen next in Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, helmed by Ashima Chibber.
