Rani added, “So I was so completely immersed in my role of motherhood that my husband nodded and nudged me and said ‘Hello, you are Rani Mukerji you need to go back to the arch lights. You can’t do this. Your child is born. She will grow up. She will have her own life. But you cannot forget who you are.”

Rani was asked about her feelings in the same interview following the success of her movie Mrs Chatterjee vs. Norway at the box office. She said, “For an actor, the validation comes in through box office numbers. We will get an opportunity to do another film only because we know that an audience wants to watch you.” She went on to say that an actor’s box office success validates them.

The actress added that she had been informed she would be getting a few jobs following her marriage. Additionally, she was informed that her chances of landing a career after having a child are “completely bleak.” “And I shattered all of that,” she concluded.
