New Delhi: Rani Mukerji, the timeless Bollywood queen, has hit a huge milestone—30 glorious years in the film world. From action-packed hits like Mardaani

\n\n

to heartfelt dramas that won her a National Award, she’s ruled hearts.

But now, as a proud mom, she reveals how family life changed everything. In a touching social media post, Rani gets real about making sharper choices, taking on deeper roles, and extending endless thanks to fans. What’s her big secret to staying fresh after three decades? Read on for her emotional words that will inspire every movie lover.

\n\n

30 years of magic

Rani Mukerji marked her 30 years in Bollywood with a heartfelt social media note on January 12, 2026. The actress, known for powerful roles in films like Mardaani, Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, and Hum Tum, shared deep reflections on her journey. She has given many hit movies and strong performances that fans love.

\n\n

Life-changing moments

Rani explained how marriage and motherhood transformed her outlook. “Marriage and motherhood changed me, not by slowing me down, but by sharpening my focus. I became more selective, more protective of my energy, and more aware of the kind of legacy I wanted to build and the films that I want to lend my voice to,” she wrote in her Instagram post.

Key film reflections

She spoke about Hichki, a role that came when she understood vulnerability better. “Hichki came to me at a time when I understood vulnerability more deeply. Playing a teacher with Tourette syndrome reminded me why representation matters and how empathy can change perspectives,” Rani shared. For Mrs Chatterjee vs. Norway, her National Award-winning film, she added emotional depth as a mother.

\n\n

Award and gratitude

Rani connected her National Award win to motherhood. “More recently, Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway reaffirmed my belief that emotional truth transcends borders. A mother fighting a system larger than herself is a story that needs no language. The response to that film told me something profound: audiences still want sincerity. They still want stories that come from the heart. Playing a mother gave me my first National Award, and I’m a believer in signs. Maybe I was born to play this role, which is why the universe reserved the feeling of me winning this award for when I became a mother and understood what a woman can do for her offspring. Maybe I’m a more complete actor, a more grounded human to play such a role today. I bowed to the universe and took this award with a lot of humility,” she posted on Instagram.

\n\n

Thanks to fans

Rani feels like a newcomer even today. “Thank you for letting me live so many lives. Today, I’m still feeling like a newcomer, wanting to excel, to work harder, to take on new cinematic challenges and write a totally new chapter of my life starting right now,” she said. She bowed to her fans with love. “To my fans and audiences who have always rooted for me, stood beside me, and cheered for this girl who has become a woman, I bow down with respect and love. I would not have been here without you. I would have been no one without you,” Rani concluded in her note.

\n\n

Rani’s words show her growth from a young star to a wise mother-actress, ready for more. Fans celebrate her journey, with news of Mardaani 3 coming soon.
