As Rani Mukerji marked 30 years in the film industry, her daughter, Adira, penned a heartfelt letter for her mom.
Rani Mukerji is one of the most renowned names in Indian cinema. The actress, who made her screen debut in the 1996 Bengali film, Biyer Phool, recently completed 30 years in the film industry. To mark the special occasion, Yash Raj Films hosted a special afternoon, and Rani was seen with director, Karan Johar. During a segment, Karan read a handwritten note from Rani’s daughter, Adira.
In a video doing the rounds, Karan Johar read a handwritten letter from Rani's daughter, Adira. As Karan read the letter, Rani became emotional, as Adira’s words were the feelings she had for her mother. The letter can be read as:
“Hello Mama, first of all I just want to say how much I love you. You are the best mother in the world. We have shared countless memories together, joyful, tearful and of course funny. There are some qualities I like about you, some qualities I don’t and some qualities I have inherited from you. One quality I don’t like about you but have got from you is your short temper. When I grew up I grew up to be kind, confident, loving, intelligent and stylish just like you.”
After the release of her film, Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway, Rani appeared on the chat show of Kareena Kapoor Khan, What Women Want and opened up about her choice to keep her daughter, Adira, away from the media glare. She shared that, as a child of a celebrity, Adira would have been dragged into the paparazzi culture, but both she and her husband, Aditya, protect her from that.
In a conversation with Zoom, Rani Mukerji revealed that her daughter, Adira, doesn’t like the actress wearing makeup. She added that Adira tells her that she doesn't look like her mom when she puts on makeup. She was quoted as saying:
"When I am wearing makeup, she tells me, 'Mamma, you are not looking like my mother.' So when I remove my makeup and come to her, she tells me, 'Now you look like my mother.'"
Even after being born into a star family, Rani never aspired to be an actress. In her first leading role, Rani played the role of a rape victim in the film, Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat and received huge applause for her acting. After her debut film, Rani went on to star in films like Ghulam, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Saathiya, Chalte Chalte, Hum Tum, Veer-Zaara, and Black, proving that acting is in her genes.
