Rani Mukerji

Actress Rani Mukerji is currently in Australia for the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne. At the festival, she shared a personal news with the audience. She spoke about the personal tragedy she suffered just before filming the emotional film 'Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway'. The actress gio pregnant in 2020 amid the pandemic but suffered a miscarriage and lost her baby 5 months into the pregnancy.

Rani Mukerji recently said at Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, "Maybe this is the first time I am making this revelation because in today's world every aspect of your life is discussed publicly, and becomes an agenda for talking about your film to get more eyeballs. Obviously, I didn't speak about this when I was promoting the film because it would have come across as me trying to speak about a personal experience that would propel the film… so, it was around the year when Covid-19 struck. It was 2020. I got pregnant with my second baby at the end of 2020 and I unfortunately lost my baby five months into my pregnancy."

She said, "After I lost my baby, Nikhil (Advani) would have called me probably like 10 days later. He told me about the story and I kind of immediately… not that I had to have the loss of a child to feel the emotion but sometimes there is a film in the right time of what you are going through personally to be able for you to connect with it instantly. When I heard the story, I was in disbelief. I never thought in a country like Norway an Indian family would have had to go through," she said.

On the personal front, Rani Mukerji married film priducer and director Aditya Chopra in 2014. The welcomed their baby girl, adira in 2015. Earlier this year, Rani had revealed that her daughter Adira was born two month premature and was kept in the NICU as she was really tiny.

The couple are fiercely private about their personal life and are not even on any social media platform. The couple also ensure that their daughter is not clicked by the paparazzi.
