"I have a soft corner for Salman, Shah Rukh and Aamir because at an impressionable age, I worked with them. I USED TO BE 17-18. At that age, you search for to a couple people and that usually remains without reference to whatever happens," the actress told in a gaggle interview.
"Your comfort level with them is such that you simply can't compare it with every other co-star. The type of love and support they showed towards me after I was a newcomer will stick with me for life," said the 34-year-old who acted with Shah Rukh Khan in "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" and "Paheli".
With Salman, she featured in "Chori Chori" and "Baabul".
She worked with Aamir in "Ghulam" and "Mangal Pandey" and can now be seen with him in "Talaash" releasing Nov 30.
"I always treated myself as a teen or as a learner in front of 2 people-Aamir and Shah Rukh-as I BEGAN my career with them. So I do search for to them otherwise. I'LL not be shy in front of them any more, but I learn so much from them. After they suggest anything to me, it is crucial for me to take their suggestion," she said.
"Talaash" is her second release this year after Anurag Kashyap's "Aiyyaa", which did not impress her fans.
"I wouldn't wish to be part of any project that I BELIEVE wouldn't work. An actor like me always desires to work to get appreciation of the audiences. And appreciation can only come if people will come to look at the film.
Moving on is find out how to tackle failure and success in life, she said.
"I don't really get stuck in a time warp where if my film is a success, I MUST keep partying till the following one releases or if my film is a flop, I keep wallowing in sorrow until the following comes my way.
"My labor in each film is often there. Till date, nobody has talked about a flaw in my performing at. least they are saying Rani's film didn't work, but she was fabulous. I work towards maintaining that," she said.
A film's box office performance can't be predicted, she said.
"We aren't saints, gods, spiritual humans that we will be able to sit and judge whether a movie will do well or not. It's not in our hands," she said and added that nothing was frustrating.
"You are a worker. How can your work come up with frustration? From childhood, we're taught that there'll be good days; there'll be bad days; you'll win some and lose some. But as a result of that you simply don't become negative, frustrated and depressed," she said.
Variety is very important for Rani and he or she makes sure each assignment adds something to her body of work.
"It could get saturated or monotonous if I MIGHT do the similar characters over and over. This is why to avoid wasting myself from that feeling, I take day out to make a choice roles that excite me," she said.
She says working with seasoned directors and with new ones have their very own advantages and disadvantages.
"With experienced directors, you gain experience and with new ones, you get energy and spirit," she said.
