Sabiha Shaikh (born 3 November 1989), known professionally as Rani Chatterjee, is an Indian actress who primarily works in Bhojpuri films.[2] Considered as one of the highest paid Bhojpuri actress,[3] Chatterjee made her acting debut with Sasura Bada Paisawala (2004), which is still ranked as the highest-grossing Bhojpuri film. She has won several awards including five Bhojpuri Film Awards and three International Bhojpuri Film Awards.[4]

Chatterjee went onto establish herself as a leading actress with successful films such as Sita (2007), Devra Bada Satawela (2010), Ganga Yamuna Saraswati (2012), Nagin (2013), Rani No. 786 (2013), Dariya Dil (2014), Rani Banal Jwala (2015), Gharwali Baharwali (2016), Real Indian Mother (2016), Rani Weds Raja (2019) and Lady Singham (2022).[5] She made her web debut with Mastram (2020) and television debut with Mast Mauli (2023).[6]

Early life

Chatterjee was born as Sabiha Shaikh in a Muslim family on 3 November 1989.[1][7] She was born and brought up in Mumbai.[8] Chatterjee did her schooling from Tungareshwar Academy High school, Vasai.[8] Rani, who is originally Sabiha Shaikh on her documents, shares an interesting reason behind it. Talking to a section of media recently Rani said, "In 2004 I was shooting for a Bhojpuri film titled Sasura Bada Paisawala and one day we were shooting a sequence in a temple where I have to bang my head on the floor. And while the shoot was on a few media people had come to interview me also there was a lot of crowd was also watching the shoot. So my director thought revealing my original name might create a scene as I am a Muslim. So when someone people asked my name he said Rani and when they asked about my surname so he couldn't think of anything and said Chatterjee as Rani Mukerji was very famous at that point of time. And she also became famous with this name".[9]

Rani also adds, "My family was definitely angry on me for keeping that name as my identity but she convinced them as she really found that name lucky. Manoj Tiwari was opposite me in the film and it became a huge hit on box office. In fact, made many records. Due to which I was offered a lot of work and I became the highest-paid actress in Bhojpuri cinema".[9]

Career

Chatterjee made her film debut in the 2003 Bhojpuri family drama Sasura Bada Paisawala featuring Manoj Tiwari.[10] The film released in 2004 and was a success and won several awards. She followed it up with major hits like Bandhan Tute Na (2005), Damaad Ji (2006) and Munna Pandey Berozgar (2007). She earned a lot of critical acclaim for her titular role in Munnibai Nautanki Wali (2009). She won her first Best Actress Award for Devra Bada Satawela (2010).[11][12]

The sixth Bhojpuri Awards in 2013 declared Chatterjee as the Best Actress of the year for her performance in Nagin.[13] Rani has acted in a Punjabi film Aasra.[14][15] In 2020, Chatterjee acted in MX player web series Mastram.[16] She later acted in Kooku App web series Rani Ka Raja.[17]
