Rani Mukerji, in a recent interview, reflected on her bond with daughter, Adira, and revealed how different she is from her.
Rani Mukerji has often revealed how her 10-year-old daughter, Adira Chopra, is her biggest cheerleader. However, this time, Rani has taken the stage to talk about how different her generation is from theirs. The actress got candid about the boundaries and restraints between the two generations, even sharing that her daughter often scares her because she is fearless in her approach.
Rani Mukerji sat for a candid conversation with Zoom and shared how she consciously chooses how she wants to approach her daughter, Adira. The actress shared that Adira's generation is extremely different from hers. Hence, their approach as parents needs to be different as well. Reflecting on the same, Rani shared how scared she is of her daughter when it comes to certain things and stated:
"She also fires me. She is Gen Alpha, so she fires me, and I have to listen to her. Because every generation changes. I used to get slaps from my mom. I can’t expect to do that with her because she would slap me back. During my National Award, she was jumping in the house while the National Awards were happening. It’s very sweet, but because she is an Alpha kid, I am very scared of her."
In the same conversation, Rani Mukerji shared that after her father, Ram, passed away, she would miss having his feedback on her work. However, now she feels like God restored that balance when they blessed her with Adira. Rani shared that despite their generation gap, Adira is extremely close to her and also very proud. She was quoted as saying:
"My daughter has taken my father’s place. She is my biggest cheerleader today. Though she has not seen my films because she’s too attached and she feels sad when she sees me cry, she finds it difficult to watch me on screen. She likes to see me when I’m dancing and when I am happy on screen. She loves Hichki, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, and Bunty Aur Babli. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was tough for her to watch because, in the first scene, I die, so I couldn’t go beyond that."
In the same conversation, Rani Mukerji revealed that her daughter, Adira Chopra, is strongly against seeing the actress in makeup. The actress shared that her daughter doesn't like her when she puts on 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.'"
Rani Mukerji will soon be back in Mardaani 3. Written by Aayush Gupta and directed by Abhiraj Minawala, Mardaani 3 is produced by Aditya Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner.
