Rani Kamalesvaran, who performs as Rani, is an Australian singer. Her debut single "Always on My Mind" reached No. 33 on the ARIA singles chart, was on high rotation nationally on Triple J and was nominated for 1997 ARIA Awards for Best New Talent and Best Pop Release. She is the daughter of Australian-based singer, Kamahl.
The name of two characters in the "Doctor Who" universe:The Rani - A villainous Time LadyAndRani Chandra - One of Sarah Jane's team in "The Sarah Jane Adventures".
The name Rani also is a title for the Hindu Goddess Radha, consort of Krishna, or Syama. Radha, otherwise called Radhika, Vrshabanu Nandini (daughter of Vrshabanu) or Radharani, is a goddess known for her qualities of beauty and love. She is a princess, daughter of King Vrshabanu, and the only queen who could conquer Krishna's heart with a simple glance. I gathered this knowledge from Indian literature I've read such as "KRSNA," and the "Venu-Gita."
