Rani pays a heavy price for love

There was a time when Rani Mukherjee was considered the unchallenged queen, the numero uno actress in B-Town. But not anymore!

Just three/ four years back she was hot property with hits like Hum Tum, Veer Zara, Bunty aur Babli and a critically acclaimed performance in Black. But the back to back flops Baabul, Ta Ra Rum Pum, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, Saawariya and Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic changed it all.

Since then Rani has only made news for all the wrong reasons. She's been accused of being a home breaker and the 'we're together, we're not together' status with reclusive beau Aditya Chopra hasn't helped her career or her personal life.

Even the brands which signed her on when she was hot property are losing interest in her. First it was said that the people concerned didn't want her back for the 'Nestle Munch' campaign and now the buzz is that she has been dropped from the prestigious 'Titan' watches ad campaign.

Rani was the face of the 'Titan Raga' brand for two years but reportedly now they've told her that she's is no longer needed as the re-launch phase for the watch is over. Sources say that the decision was taken considering Rani's market saleability. After much contemplation, the company thought of doing away with the association. It's another blow for the actress who is already trying hard to survive in the number game.

Looks like people are not wrong in saying that the actress who was once named 'the most versatile actress of this generation' made a mistake by confining herself to the Chopra camp!
