Rani Mukerji, apparently, took Vidya Balan under her wing when these two were shooting for Rajkumar Gupta’s Who killed Jessica Lal? in New Delhi.

Visitors to the set say it was pleasant to see the once hoity-toity Rani share jokes and tips with Vidya. Of course Vidya is thrilled.

She was overheard saying, “Rani is such a doll. She is so simple and uncomplicated. We get along like a house on fire.” Honestly, Rani was this sweet-natured girl even earlier. For those who remember history, Rani was best friends with Preity Zinta, Aishwarya Rai and even Kareena Kapoor in the initial phase of her career. It is only after she made it to the position of Queen Bee that she started keeping a distance.

Her new found ‘friendly’ nature could only mean two things. Either Rani has rediscovered her old self (which is great) or she’s making an exception for Vidya, the current flavour of the season, who no one can ignore.
