Rani Mukerji and Aditya Chopra tied the knot in April 2014. They announced the birth of their daughter in 2015. In an earlier interview, Rani had spoken about how she completely forgot her career when she had a baby. The actress started doing lesser work after her daughter Adira’s birth. But it was husband Aditya Chopra who inspired her to get back to movies.
The actress had spoken about having a baby quite late. She said during a chat with Pinkvilla, “I obviously had my baby when I was I think 37 or 38, which is very very late. And I was completely consumed in my child because at 37 when you have a baby you feel you are the only mother who has given birth to a child. So I was completely immersed in my role of motherhood. So to speak my husband nodded, nudged me and said, ‘Hello, You are Rani Mukherjee. You need to go back to the arclights. Your child is born. She will grow up. She will have her own life. But you cannot forget who you are. Your fans are waiting for you, so you need to go back to work.’ And that’s when I did Hitchki when my daughter was 14 months.”
She added, “As an actor, I channelise all my emotions and energy into my work. I feel the vacuum of my father, but instead of crying and brooding over it, I channelise the emotions. Adira is a very playful child and stays without me when I am working.”
As Aditya is known to always keep himself away from all the limelight, media and paps, Rani has also kept her daughter Adira away from all of this. They have never revealed their daughter’s face.
Rani was last seen in ‘Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway’. She will be seen next in ‘Mardaani 3’.
