After a hiatus of almost four years, Rani Mukerji is finally coming back to the silver screen. She will be seen in film Hichki, which is directed by Aditya Chopra, as a primary school teacher suffering from Tourette’s syndrome, who deals with her involuntary spasms and hiccups.
Recently, Rani appeared on a chat show to promote her film. Along with her, Neha Dhupia and celebrity designer Sabyasachi Mukerjee.
Though Rani has always shied away from revealing information on her marriage with producer Aditya Chopra, in the recent BFFs with Vogue episode, Rani lastly decided to open up.
Speaking about how the two met for the first time, Rani divulged that their first meeting happened on the sets of the movie Mujhse Dosi Karoge. She also revealed how Aditya went on a limb to cast Rani in spite of being told by people not to take Rani in the lead “because they thought that she didn’t have the equity for a Yash Raj film”. Rani told that she was impressed by his frank and open nature.
Rani and Aditya tied the knot in April 2014 in a private marriage ceremony. The two insisted on not having a grand celebrity wedding. There were only 12 people present on the D-day, as revealed by Rani.
Rani and Aditya have been happily married for four years now and they also welcomed their baby daughter Adira two years ago. As we see social media being inundated with pictures of other celeb kids, Aditya and Rani are very protective towards getting Adira clicked. “I want Adira to grow up normally. You get unwanted and undeserved attention without having achieved anything in life. I want Adira to be treated like any other child in school. Aditya and I don’t want her to be photographed constantly,” said Rani.
Talking about her relationship with husband Aditya, Rani quipped how she cursed him almost every day, but in a ‘loving’ way. She says, “Yes, I do. I curse my husband every day; I abuse my husband every day but he does such loving things that the cursing comes out with love! So, in my family when we curse, we curse with love. We don’t curse with hate. If I curse somebody, that means I really love that person.”
