At one point she was known as the female version of the great Shahrukh Khan. Now we don't know if that's still true but as time went on just like her male counterpart, we couldn't help but notice the physical changes in Rani Mukherkjee. Check her out in this infamous kiss scene from her first film 'Raja Ki Ayegi Baraat' looking a little bit thicker and very young chubby face.

I guess she just couldn't lose the Bollywood baby fat in one year. From 1997 to 1998 her looks didn't change much, but her Bollywood status certainly did. Check her out in 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' looking a little distressed with Shahrukh Khan, but working harder toward getting her acting chops in her break through role.

So she got her respect as an actress in 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'. I guess in 2002 it was time to raise the bar in the looks department. Catch Rani Mukherjee with a reinvented image in 'Saathiya' looking thinner and sexier than ever!

That was then, this is now. Catch the angel or at least Rani Mukherjee's take on a majestic type of character flying in the clouds looking more mature for sure, but still maintaining the beauty of her reinvention in 2002. Check out this clip from 2008's 'Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic'.
