Rani Mukerji expresses gratitude to her fans
On social media, Rani wrote a message reflecting on her film career, saying, "Three decades ago, I entered a film set without any grand aspirations of becoming an actress. It wasn't a dream I pursued - it was something that came to me. I didn't enter the film industry with a detailed plan. I arrived with curiosity, apprehension, and a profound love for storytelling, for delving into the human psyche through characters."
Discussing the roles she has portrayed, the actress noted, "I have always been attracted to women who confront the world around them. Whether it was the determined small-town girl with big aspirations in Bunty Aur Babli, the passionate journalist in No One Killed Jessica, or the unyielding police officer in Mardaani, I felt a strong bond with characters who refuse to yield, who aim to dismantle patriarchy while maintaining grace."
In conclusion, Rani expressed her appreciation to the directors, co-stars, technicians, and audiences, stating, "Cinema is a collective effort, and I have never walked this journey alone."
