According to Anil Kapoor’s post on X (formerly Twitter), the actor congratulated Mukerji on January 13, 2026, marking three decades since her debut. He wrote, “Dear Rani, 30 years in this ever-changing industry and you continue to be accessible, sellable, tradable, watchable and above all, truly brilliant – as an actress, friend and human being! Congratulations on this incredible journey, and wishing you all the very best for Mardaani 3. Always rooting for you.” Kapoor and Mukerji have worked together before, including in ‘Nayak: The Real Hero’, and are expected to reunite again in Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film ‘King’ later this year.

Rani Mukerji reflects on three decades of cinema
Mukerji marked her anniversary a day earlier with a personal note released through Yash Raj Films’ official social media handles. As reported by Yash Raj Films, she described her journey as one that began without a grand plan and admitted that it felt unreal to look back on 30 years in front of the camera. She looked back on her early days on set as a young, nervous actor and said her love for telling stories has grown stronger over the years.Across three decades, Mukerji has shaped a filmography that moves easily between light, dark, and everything in between. Roles in ‘Raja Ki Aayegi Baaraat’, ‘Saathiya’, ‘Black’, ‘Bunty Aur Babli’, ‘No One Killed Jessica’, and the ‘Mardaani’ franchise have showcased her emotional punch and versatility. Up next is ‘Mardaani 3’, directed by Abhiraj Minawala, co-starring Janki Bodiwala, with Mallika Prasad set to play the villain Amma. With her anniversary in focus, her career reads like a sustained run of reinvention and staying power in Hindi cinema.
