Key Highlights

Durga Puja 2023 has been a grand affair in Mumbai so far. Celebrities visited the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja pandal to offer prayers. It is organised annually by Rani Mukerji and Kajol's paternal uncle and Ayan Mukerji's father, Deb Mukerji. On Sunday, the pandal witnessed some beautiful moments of devotion and celebration.

Rani Mukerji was at the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja pandal on Sunday evening for the Ashtami Sandhi Puja. The actress looked resplending in an olive green embellished saree with strappy sleeves. She completed her look with her traditional shakha pola and matching bangles.

During the Ashtami Sandhi Puja, Rani performed the traditional Bengali dance, Dhunuchi Naach, with her cousin sister Tanishaa Mukerji and choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant.

Rani was also seen dancing with Vaibhavi and others at the Durga Puja pandal.

On Saturday, Sushmita Sen was at a Durga Puja pandal in Mumbai. She and her elder daughter Renee Sen impressed all with their Dhunuchi Naach. The video of the same went viral a couple of days ago.

Recently, Rani completed 27 years in the industry. Talking about it, the actress said, "It doesn't feel like 27 years for sure! Looking back at the moment right now, I feel that I have just debuted in a film a few years back! I'm still as hungry as I was in my first film. Just to think of Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat, my first film and what I learnt in that film, is something that I will never forget. What I didn't realise as a newcomer then, was the magical world of cinema that I was getting into because I wasn't the regular wide-eyed person, who wanted to join cinema. It was something more like I was asked to do, told to do. So I got into it, and I did not understand much."

Workwise, Rani might return to the big screen as Shivani Shivaji Roy, a cop who has to tackle diabolic antagonists with every new film. Speaking of the franchise, the actress shared, "When I did Mardaani 2, I was quite nervous because I had never done a sequel before. I was like how will it happen? Because I leave my characters behind each time a film gets over and I don't know if I will be able to reprise that part again. With Mardaani 2, I was surprised that I enjoyed reprising the part. So now I have tasted blood. So now I want to reprise it again in 3."
