Rani Mukerji recalls Aamir Khan dis-allowed her to dub in her own voice

Apart from her gorgeous beauty and charming personality, Rani Mukerji is also recognised for her sexy yet husky voice, that has won hearts over decades. However, there was once a time when this rare tonal quality of hers became a barrier for her acting mettle. Well, during her presence at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, Rani recalled how her Ghulam co-star, Aamir Khan dissuaded her to dub her voice in the film, and asked her to let someone else do it for her. Rani mentioned:

“At the peak of my career, in the film Ghulam, they dubbed my voice because I was a newcomer, it was my second movie. Aamir, Mukesh Bhatt, and Vikram Bhatt were not sure of my voice, and They collectively took the decision to dub my voice because they thought that mainstream actresses should have a shrill voice. They did not believe that women need to have a voice like me, which is ‘sexy and very empowering.”
