Rani

Rani Mukerji recently appeared on Neha Dhupia’s chat show, BFFs with Vogue, with designer friend Sabyasachi Mukherjee. She spoke about her film, daughter Adira and media-shy husband, filmmaker Aditya Chopra. Rani finally decided to open up about her hush-hush private life.

On how she met Aditya Chopra, she said, “After having faced failure for a couple of my films, luckily Mujhse Dosti Karoge happened and that’s when I met Adi first time professionally. He told me that I’m doing a couple of crap films and that people have pressured him not to take me because they think that I didn’t have the equity for a Yash Raj film, but Adi had belief in my talent and me and thought that I was good for the part. My mother and I have been very upfront people always and I like frankness and openness, so I like the fact that he was on my face.”

Despite directing four films and producing dozens, you’ll find only a handful of Aditya chopra’s pictures on the Internet. “It’s not as if he is paranoid about the cameras. He just doesn’t want to be photographed. He had told me after our marriage, ‘God when I fell in love with you, I didn’t stop to think that I was in love with an actress. Now, because of you, people are attaching my pictures to yours as well,'” explained Rani.

When asked if the actress fights with her husband, Rani replied, “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.”

Like her father before her, there are hardly any photos of Adira on the net, too. Rani has a reason for this. “I want Adira to grow up normally. Otherwise, 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.”

Aditya Chopra is arguably one of the biggest film producers of the country and inarguably the most reclusive celebrity of Bollywood. Rani and Aditya tied the knot in April 2014 in a very hush-hush marriage ceremony. The two were adamant on not having a grand celebrity wedding and there were only 12 people present on the D-day.
