Mumbai: As Rani Mukerji marks 30 years in the film industry, her 10-year-old daughter Adira penned a heartfelt note for the ‘Mardaani 3’ actress which left her teary-eyed.
During a conversation with Karan Johar, the actress was left surprised when the filmmaker read out a handwritten letter from her daughter, addressed to ‘Mamma’.
“Hello Mama, first of all I just want to say how much I love you. You are the best mother in the world. We have shared countless memories together, joyful, tearful and of course funny. There are some qualities I like about you, some qualities I don’t and some qualities I have inherited from you. Some qualities I have got from you are my acting, dancing and painting skills. One quality I don’t like about you but have got from you is your short temper,” Karan is seen reading out the letter loudly in a viral clip.
During the conversation, reflecting on her journey in the industry, Rani recalled some of the early challenges she had faced.
Sharing one such incident, Rani revealed that during the filming of ‘Ghulam’, Aamir Khan had told her that her voice wasn’t suitable for the role, and her lines were dubbed for the film.
“I could not show the fact that I was upset because you need to be a team player when you are part of the film… Even if there are personal disappointments it does not matter if the intent is true for the film,” she shared.
The actress then became emotional remembering how Karan encouraged her to use her real voice for ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’.
“I really owe this to Karan. When we were shooting for the trailer of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai… you asked me whether I had dubbed my voice in my first film and if I had a problem with it and I said no, I did dub my voice. You said, ‘I love your voice!’ and I still remember it. Thanks to you Karan that I could retain my voice,” Rani said, as Karan kissed her.
