In the Spotlight: Actress Raj Rani

After playing the lead role in the Bengali television series Aakash Kusum, actress Raj Rani—popularly known as Rani—has become a topic of discussion across the entertainment industry. Having made a mark in Kolkata through films, TV serials, music videos, and advertisements, she is now eager to showcase her talent in Bollywood.

The success of Aakash Kusum brought her several new offers and pushed her career to new heights. She will soon be seen in an upcoming Hindi television show, where she plays the character of Suman. The serial is a family drama that revolves around conspiracies related to property disputes.

Rani has a deep passion for portraying historical and mythological characters. Her love for acting began in childhood, and to transform this passion into a profession, she worked tirelessly. She started her journey with theatre and received praise for her compelling performances. Supported by her family at every step, she remained confident even during challenging phases.

She has also shone in the fashion world, having participated in modelling and ramp shows and even winning the Second Runner Up title in a competition. Rani trained in dance at renowned choreographer Ganesh Acharya’s academy.

Films, however, remain closest to her heart. She is deeply inspired by Shah Rukh Khan’s films and persona, and she admires actor Akshay Kumar’s fitness, discipline, and lifestyle. Rani says she has learned a great deal from his positive outlook and balanced routine, and she herself pays special attention to her fitness. She also appreciates actress Shraddha Kapoor for her skill and simplicity.

Rani believes that with the right opportunity, she too can create a unique and memorable identity, much like Divya Bharti did in her era. At present, she is excited about her upcoming projects and says the audience will soon see her in powerful and diverse roles.
