She has always been a ‘bhalo main’ (good girl in Bengali). She chose films for a career because she “didn’t want to disappoint” her mother. She chose good films because she didn’t want to upset the audience. She w ore revealing dresses because her mom would tell her, ‘It’s fine. It’s not you, it’s the character.’ She grew up “a little early” and “missed a great part of childhood because of busy shooting schedules.” She had to turn a wife/bahu and wear a sari in her Bollywood debut Raja Ki Ayegi Baraat, at 16. That’s Rani Mukerji for you.
Siddharth Anand’s Ta Ra Rum Pum and now Kunal Kohli’s Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic have brought out the child in her. Thoda… is the second film in which she has kids for company.
In this Yashraj-banner film, Rani plays an angel whom God sends to take care of four orphaned kids (played by Akshat Chopra, Shriya Sharma, Rachit Sidana and Ayushi Berman) who have to live with a tyrant, Ranbeer Talwar, as per a court verdict. Rani as Gita brings them together in this “quite a tear-jerker and yet a funny film”, as Kohli puts it.
