  • Proof she has smoked (or quit) "in real life"
              •  "Just because glamorous people smoke cigarettes, doesn't make smoking glamorous. That's the constant refrain in Rani Mukherjee's household these days. We've heard that mom Krishna Mukherjee has been coaxing daughter Rani to quit smoking. Although not a regular smoker, the story goes that Rani hankers for cigarettes every morning. Apparently the actress believes a smoke gives the much-needed boost to the bowel movement. Recently, a hassled Rani was heard telling her fellow colleagues on the sets of Laaga Chunari Mein Daag about her mommy's constant rants about the unhealthy effects of smoking. Nevertheless, Rani chooses to ignore mamma's advice and continues to secretly smoke in the loo. A close friend of the actress says, 'Rani needs a smoke every morning. It helps her overcome irregular bowel movements. She did try to give up smoking several times but her efforts only caused her serious indigestion.' The constant nagging has now led the actress to hide her quota of cigarettes in unsuspecting corners of her room. She is also armed with mouth fresheners and deodorants whenever she grabs a cigarette. When we tried speaking to Krishna Mukerji about Rani's habit, she said 'No Rani doesn't smoke. Who told you about this?'", thebollywoodzone, Jul. 18, '07
              •  "puffing away... is an occasional smoker and can't seem to do without her morning cigarette which apparently helps with her bowel movement. But it seems Rani's mom is not too happy about it and has been nagging her girl to give up the bad habit. Rani has tried to give up smoking but ultimately she has always gone back to her habit as she develops various problems when she quits. But now due to the constant confrontations with her mom, Rani has resorted to smoking in the loo and hiding her cigarettes when mommy dearest is around. Rani also regularly carries mint and deodorant around so that if her mom pops in she can always use it to lessen the smoke smell. Well Rani Mommy always knows best and this time too she is obviously right, because smoking is definitely injurious to health", Bollywood Mantra, Jul. 25, '07
              •  no - "Apart from a scene or two in her films, Rani Mukerji has never touched a cigarette in her life. A story that Rani has been lately puffing on the cancer stick has her family and friends amused exasperated and bewildered [sic]. A very close friend of Rani says, '...We've never seen Rani smoke in our life. She has done a couple of scenes in Bicchoo and [Bunty Aur Babli (2005)] where she had to smoke. Beyond that she has never touched the damned thing.' Ironically, the story about her smoking comes at a time Rani is all set to do a campaign against smoking. Says the friend, 'Rani had decided to do an anti-smoking campaign on television even before this story came out. Now she's all the more determined to do the campaign, and not just that.", GLKvideo, Aug. 5, '07
              •  no - "Recently there were rumours of Rani indulging in smoking, but sources claim that the rumours are untrue and that in fact Rani will soon be doing an anti-smoking campaign", Bollywood Mantra, Aug. 14, '07
