Rani’s trip comes just a few days after her movie Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway came out. Last week, Rani visited Amritsar and looked for endowments at the well known Sri Harmandir Sahib (Brilliant Sanctuary).

The film also features Anirban Bhattacharya, Jim Sarbh, and Neena Gupta, all of whom are directed by Ashima Chibber.

The Journey of a Mother, written by Sagarika Chakaraborty, serves as the basis for the film. Debika (Rani), an immigrant mother engaged in a protracted legal dispute with a nation over custody of her children, is the focus of the story. On March 17, Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway opened in theaters.
Rani made her acting presentation with Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat in 1997. Shadaab Khan, Javed Khan, Gulshan Grover, Divya Dutta, Gajendra Chauhan, and Sulabha Deshpande were also in the film, which was written and directed by Ashok Gaikwad. Following the success of Karan Johar’s directorial debut Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Rani became a household name.

Saathiya (2002), Chalte Chalte (2003), Hum Tum, Yuva, and Veer-Zaara (2004), Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006), Bunty Aur Babli (2006), and Black (2005) are among her many films.

When Rani Mukerji doubted her ability to be a “heroine”

Rani Mukerji
  • Rani Mukerji, who turns 45 on March 21, made her acting debut in 1996.
  • But it took her until 1998 when she broke out in the mainstream.
  • She was directed by her father Ram Mukherjee in the Bengali film Biyer Phool and made her Hindi debut with Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat.

On March 21, Rani Mukerji, who turns 45 this year, made her acting debut in 1996. However, it wasn’t until 1998 that she made her way into the mainstream. She made her debut in Hindi with Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat and was directed by her father, Ram Mukherjee, in the Bengali film Biyer Phool. In 1998, her exhibitions in both Ghulam and Kuch Hota Hai laid out her as one of the top female entertainers of the time, particularly after she won the Filmfare Grant for Best Supporting Entertainer for the last option. However, when Rani first started out, she didn’t think she had what it took to become a heroine like her idols Sridevi and Rekha. It was her mother’s idea to get into the movie business. In the beginning, the actor’s voice was dubbed into Ghulam. She also thought that her small stature might make it harder for her to get roles in the future. However, the actor eventually gained the support of her colleagues, including Aamir Khan and even Kamal Haasan, who advised her to continue her acting career regardless.

Rani stated, “I never thought I fit into the heroine category in the typical sense,” in an interview with India Today in 2021. In fact, I am not a heroine at all. My height is quite low, my voice is not suitable for a heroine, and my skin color is wheatish. I don’t think I ever thought I could be an actor when I started. I never imagined myself on par with Sridevi, Juhi, Madhuri, or Rekha ji, the screen goddesses I grew up idolizing.

“As my journey began, I spoke to many stalwarts with whom I had the opportunity to work,” she continued. Mr. Kamal Haasan, one of them, told me that actors like him can’t measure success by how tall you are physically, but rather by how far you can grow professionally. As a result, during my early days in Bollywood, I kind of broke all of the stereotypes of what an actress should be like.

Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway, directed by Ashima Chibber, is Rani’s most recent production. The actor plays a mother in a foreign country who must fight for custody of her young children when the government takes them away from her in the drama, which is based on real-life events.

Rani Mukerji

For the first time, Ashima Chibber and Rani Mukerji collaborated on the family story Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway. The Hindi movie depicts the true story of Sagarika Chakraborty, an Indian mother who battled for custody of her young children after the government abducted them abroad. The director talked about how difficult it was for both of them to shoot some of the movie’s scenes because Rani was sobbing in many of them. The encounter strengthened their friendship.

The director added that because Rani was a mother herself, she could relate to the narrative and emotions very well. In 2014, Rani wed producer-director Aditya Chopra. Their daughter Adira Chopra, age 7, is their only child. The actor was able to portray Sagarika’s three-year journey from the time she first arrived in Norway until she was forced to depart without her children throughout the course of the movie.

Ashima discussed her relationship with Rani in an interview with Mid-Day, saying, “When I decided to become a single mother and I was pregnant, she was the first one I confided in. And I saw a side to Rani which was so brave, compassionate, and supportive of me. Rani is the epitome of motherhood. Who else could have understood this story better than her? So, every day was a revelation to me.”

She continued, “It was an emotional ride for us. Rani was crying, and I was pretty emotional while doing the scenes. I couldn’t imagine that someone had suffered this long; 610 days without your child is excruciatingly painful, everything else is peripheral for me.”

Ashima directed the 2013 comedy Mere Dad Ki Maruti for Yash Raj Films. She has also directed episodes of Yeh Hai Aashiqui and MTV Fanaah: An Impossible Love Story. She is the child’s sole mom.

Last seen with Saif Ali Khan, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Sharvari Wagh in Bunty Aur Babli 2, Rani. Later this year, the actress will also publish a memoir in which she will discuss her 25 years in the movie business and other topics.

The movie’s review stated, “Rani Mukerji displays a wide range of emotions, and her sense of suffering and agony makes you feel a knot in your throat. She is completely in control of her actions in some situations, but she also exhibits extreme exaggeration when expressing her anguish in other situations. I believed that balance was required somewhere. While it’s true that it might be difficult to maintain control over your behavior when battling for something as delicate as your children’s custody, watching her suffering on television should have been more intense than the loud debate that it ended up being.”

“My voice gets dubbed in Ghulam:” says Rani Mukerji

Rani Mukerji
  • Rani mentioned how Aamir Khan had apologized to her for using her voice in Ghulam.
  • But I still feel that my soul is not in Ghulam.
  • Karan Johar asked me if I had a problem dubbing my voice.

Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway, which will hit theaters on Friday, has kept Rani Mukerji very occupied. The actress remembered hearing that her voice had been dubbed “for the betterment of the film” after making a name for herself in the critically acclaimed film Ghulam, in which she starred opposite Aamir Khan. Months before her Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, directed by Karan Johar and starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, was published, the movie was released in June 1998.

Rani claimed in a recent interview that her “soul is not in Ghulam” because she had been offended by comments made about her voice as “a leading woman opposite Aamir”. In an old interview, Rani also mentioned how Aamir Khan had apologized to her for using her voice in Ghulam after seeing the October 1998 film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.

“As a newcomer, you don’t have much of a choice. Filmmakers take decisions for the betterment of their film. So yes, but just in Ghulam, my voice did get dubbed. During Ghulam, there was a question mark on my voice on whether it was good for a leading lady opposite Aamir. I was told that for the betterment of the film, my voice had been dubbed. It hurt me but I didn’t make a big deal of it. But I still feel that my soul is not in Ghulam,” Rani Mukerji said in a recent interview.

“Soon, I was there in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Karan Johar asked me if I had a problem in dubbing my voice. I said ‘no’. He asked me if my first film Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat had my own voice, and when I said yes, he said he likes my voice and wanted me to dub,” she continued.

“I remember Aamir calling me after watching KKHH (Kuch Kuch Hota Hai), saying, ‘Babes I think we made a huge mistake by dubbing your voice. And your voice is really good.’ For me, that was a really amazing moment since I respect him so much. The fact that he called and said that they had made a mistake was a big thing for me as a newcomer,” Rani said.

In 1997’s Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat, Rani made her acting début. On March 17, Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway, her most recent feature, will be released. Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway, which was directed by Ashima Chibber, chronicles the life of an immigrant mother who battles against all odds to regain custody of her children. The film also includes appearances by Neena Gupta, Jim Sarbh, and Anirban Bhattacharya.
