During the shooting of 'Veer Zaara', Rani Mukerji got an earful from the director, Yash Chopra, as she couldn't stop laughing every time she saw Shah Rukh Khan on the sets.
Rani Mukerji is among the most popular and talented actresses in the Hindi film industry. With an illustrious career in Bollywood, she has been a part of some of the most successful films. Rani is well known for her charismatic beauty and versatile performances in her films. The actress has a great fan following, even though she now stars in very few films. Among the many films of her career, Yash Chopra’s Veer Zaara was one of the most iconic ones.
Veer Zaara was released in 2004 and went on to become a box-office success. Rani Mukerji and Shah Rukh Khan, who have often been paired together in movies as romantic partners, played a different pairing in the film. For the unversed, SRK and Rani were cast as a father-daughter duo in Veer Zaara. The film also featured Preity Zinta, Kirron Kher, and Manoj Bajpayee, among others, in the lead roles.

Not many know that Rani Mukerji was scolded by Yash Chopra during the shooting of the film, Veer Zaara. It so happened that Rani revealed the deets about the same during her appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show when she was promoting her film, Bunty Aur Babli 2. In the film, Veer Zaara, Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta played the roles of lovers, while Rani was seen as Shah Rukh’s lawyer, who helped them meet each other after many years.
When the film's shooting started, there was a huge age difference between the characters of Rani Mukerji and Shah Rukh Khan. All these years, Rani had only seen Shah Rukh as a dashing young man, who wooed people's hearts with his characters. However, in Veer Zaara, their relationship is shown as that of an elderly man and a young lady. And this is why, Rani had trouble holding back her giggles on the film's set.

It was quite difficult for Rani to play her character in the film, as she had always played the role of a lover opposite Shah Rukh Khan. As soon as she saw SRK with white hair, she could not control her laughter and went ROFL. Even Shah Rukh used to laugh after watching Rani's condition. However, when the film's director, Yash Chopra, saw the same thing happening repeatedly, he lost his temper and scolded Rani in front of everyone on the set.
Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji were seen together in films like Chalte Chalte, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and more.
