DHAKA: Bollywood’s popular actress Rani Mukherjee has tied the knot with Aditya Chopra, son of late iconic filmmaker Yash Chopra, according to Indian media.

The wedding--a private affair--took place in Italy on April 21.

The couple had reportedly been dating since a long time with frequent speculation surrounding their impending marriage.

Mukherjee established herself as a leading actress by doling out commercial hits like Hum Tum and Bunty aur Bubli among others.

She earned universal critical acclaim when she enacted the role of a deaf and blind girl in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 2004 movie “Black”.

Chopra, who has maintained a relatively low profile, directed the 1995 blockbuster Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge starring the legendary Shahrukh-Kajol duo which is being played in Indian cinemas even now.

He has written and directed several movies under the Chopra production banner, establishing himself as one of India`s most bankable directors.
