Aditya Chopra and Rani Mukherjee get Hitched
After five years of clandestine meetings, denying reports of dating each other and hiding from shutter bugs actress Rani Mukerji and YRF head Aditya Chopra finally tied the knot in Italy.
The reclusive Aditya is rarely spotted at social gatherings, while Rani had intentionally kept the relationship under wraps for years. Reports of Rani dating Aditya emerged in 2009, just about the same time when it was rumoured that his marriage with childhood sweetheart Payal Khanna was on the rocks. Khanna, an interior decorator by profession, was very close to Aditya's parents Pamela and Yash Chopra. Some reports claim that Rani was the reason that the marriage came apart, but they were never confirmed. Yash and Pamela Chopra were reportedly against Aditya's relationship with Rani in the beginning, but eventually came around. Aditya divorced Payal in 2009. The divorce was reportedly settled outside the court and is said to be one of the most expensive divorce settlements in the history of Bollywood.
While Aditya always stayed out the media glare, in the years that followed Rani's appearances in the media reduced considerably. The actress, who in the span of last five years appeared only in four films (No One Killed Jessica, Talaash, Aiyyaa and Bombay Talkies) often, dodged questions about Chopra. However, a confirmation of sorts, of her being in a relationship came around 2012, when the actress confirmed during a chat show hosted by Simi Garewal that she is absolutely in love.
It was Shatrughan Sinha who only fanned rumors when he addressed Rani as Rani Chopra during the unveiling of Yash Chopra's statue. While rumors of a February 2014 wedding for the couple spread like wild fire, the date came and went without any announcement resulting in a natural death for the rumors. However, with YRF issuing a press release announcing the couple's marriage after five long years of rumors, it finally ends all the speculation around the couple.
