Aamir helps Rani loose Weight

Rani Mukherjee is going through bad time. Not only her career, but also personally she wasn't feeling good about herself and was struggling to lose weight. Aamir Khan has come to the rescue. Rani apparently had tried everything from strict diets to regular workout regimes; But nothing seemed to work. That's when Aamir Khan recommended his trainer Satyajit Chaurasia to her.

Satyajit Chaurasia played a major part in helping Aamir achieve his eight-pack abs for Ghajini. Impressed by his work Aamir suggested that Rani hire him as her personal trainer. In two months, the actress seems to have seen results. It's been one hour of daily exercise, and Rani is at her sexiest best right now.

And when we saw her in her cameo appearance in Shah Rukh Khan's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi , we were stunned. Rani Mukherjee was looking slim and gorgeous, and stole the show from under everybody's noses. She will next be seen in a Yash Raj film.

Interestingly, when Mid Day Bangalore was launched two years ago, a picture of Anushka and Zoheb was carried in the inaugural issue. She was quite upset as she did not want her parents to know she was seeing anyone!
