My second TGIF! For the birthday girl. And I am sleepy (Dog got me up again last night, and there is STILL no adoption on the horizon), so I am going to be lazy: Rani Mukherjee Holding Things.
I was looking at her photos on The Internet, and it really is an odd trend! Not sure why photographers keep having her hold things up to us. Let’s pretend they are all her birthday presents this year and see how she feels about them.
A rose. She’s trying to be nice about it, but really thinks it is a pretty lame gift and is going to make fun of you after you leave.

Coffee. She is intensely touched that you remembered she liked coffee and about to cry about it.

Soap. She is calm and satisfied with this gift.

A coin? Communion wafer? She is a little confused by what it is as well, but pleased that you remembered to give her something.

“You gave me a fence for my birthday? Okay, I guess, I was expecting more but this is nice too.”

“Two filmfare awards! I LOVE IT!”

“Dog! Mine!” [Dog: “GAAAAH! What’s HAPPENING??? I do not like this”]

“You gave me cake, I am starving, and now I have to wait while you take your stupid picture before I can eat it”

“I don’t really like this umbrella but I will vamp with it anyway to save your feelings”

Fanta. She loves it more than anything else in the world and you will take it from her cold dead hands.
Although she is awfully fond of holding Shahrukh too.

And Abhishek

Although I think it’s her baby that makes her happiest.

Now, discussion!
Which gift (taking the baby out of the running) do you think Rani looks happiest with?
I think it is clearly the Fanta.
Which gift is she most displeased by?
I think probably the fence. Which, to be fair, is a terrible gift.

I disagree on your interpretation of coffee. She is looking gratefully at the giver but is not yet awake enough–because she hasn’t had any coffee yet–to fully emote.
Haha, she’s way too happy about the FANTA.
I’m going with happiest with: tie for Shah Rukh and Abhi.
Least happy with: cake or coin. Cake she is fake smiling because she knows her dress waist is so tight that if she actually takes a bite of anything it will burst, and coin, she knows she is worth more and is thinking of throwing back at whoever just gave it to her.

There is nothing crueler than giving someone food at a time when they cannot eat food. My boss bought us lunch yesterday, which was very nice, but I got stuck on a string of phone calls after that so my poor sad salad was just sitting there, taunting me, unable to be eaten.

I’ve skipped her the past few years, partly because Rani and Emraan exhausted me, and partly following a “if you can’t say anything nice….” policy. I’ll see if I can think of something nice to throw together for her!
