Rani Mukherji has always said that she enjoys being part of women-centric cinema, and she has done quite a few - Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat, Baabul, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag and the latest being No One Killed Jessica. She plays a prostitute in her next.
So Rani as the chief guest was the perfect choice at The Laadli media awards for gender sensitivity held recently in Mumbai. And the power-packed performer shared with all that how her coming into the world was celebrated much before she was born. The story goes that her father had excused himself to go to the wash room and was not around in the hospital when Rani was born. And when he returned, a hospital authority remarked, 'I am sorry, Mr Mukherji you have got a daughter'. "My father told that person that he shouldn't be feeling sorry because he as well as his wife had always wanted a daughter, and that he was ecstatic," narrated Rani.
"Today my parents are proud of me, they didn't know that I would be THE Rani Mukherji," added Rani. Well, we don't know whether the story is true or cooked up but one thing is for sure, that Rani now has one more responsibility as the organisers of the media awards would want her to mobilise her friends and colleagues in Bollywood to show their solidarity and support for the cause of the girl child, and also make more films that portray strong women with substance. "Yes, I will certainly take up the cause," said the actress. But, not so easy Rani, think before you leap..Box office bhi toh koi cheez hai..na?
