Though Rani Mukerjee has never openly admitted to her love affair with director/producer Aditya Chopra (son of the legendary Yash Chopra who died recently), it looks like as if the couple, or at least Rani M, is now ready to make it public.

The actress was seen virtually at every ritual related to Yashji’s death and was alongside Aditya and the rest of the family members. She, along with director Karan Johar who is also close to the bereaved family, couldn’t control their tears throughout. It wouldn’t come as a surprise if a few months down the line Rani M and Aditya C make it official.
