Rani Mukerji, in a recent interview with Galatta Indiatalked about being dubbed in the early years of her career for films like Ghulam alongside Aamir Khan. However, while talking about her experiences, she also talked about her close friend and director Karan Johar’s role in her career. He called him the first director who decided to keep her original voice and not dub over it. She said that when Karan heard Rani’s voice being dubbed by someone else, he was surprised. “I said they might not like my voice. And he said, I love your voice; you’re going to dub for my film. I’m very happy that Karan, because Karan took that call. Because as long as it’s inside Cough Cough Hota Hai my voice would be dubbed, then it would be very difficult to convince other people to get my voice back,” she said.
Rani Mukerji, who spoke about her miscarriage at the Melbourne Indian Film Festival last year, once again opened up about the traumatic experience in her interview with Galatta India. Rani Mukerji revealed that she tried to have a second child for almost seven years. Speaking to Galatta India, Rani said, “Of course it is difficult. I have been trying to have a second baby for almost seven years. My daughter is now eight years old, and when she was one or one and a half years old, I tried for my second, and I kept trying, and eventually I got pregnant and then I lost the baby. It was obviously a very, very difficult time for me. And besides, even though I look young, I’m not very young. ‘
Rani added: “I’m going to be 46, it’s not an age where I can have a baby. It’s traumatic for me that I can’t give a brother or a sister to my daughter, and it really hurts me. But we have to always be grateful for what we have. For me, Adira is my miracle child, and I’m very happy to have her. I’m working on that and I tell myself, yes, Adira is enough.”
Rani Mukerji is popular for films like Hello Brother, Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega, Pyaar Diwana Hota Hai, Chalo Ishq Ladaaye, Chori Chori, LOC: Kargil, to name a few. She has been married to Adity Chopra since 2014. They are parents of daughter Adira.
