Why Rani howled in front of her driver…

The good thing about Rani Mukerji’s upcoming film, Hichki is that she is finally back on the radar as far as the media is concerned – otherwise, the actress is probably getting to be a tad too much like her attention-allergic husband, Aditya Chopra! So here’s what the stunner has been opening up about…

Separation Pangs
“The first day I cried. The first day when I was going to Xavier’s in the car in the morning and it kind of hit me that I am going back to work. So, I was howling in the car and obviously, the driver was there and I am very conscious about showing my emotions because I always keep a very tough and fearless exterior. So, I don’t want to cry in front of my driver. I was in the back seat and I had tears rolling down my eyes and I was like, ‘Oh God, this is going to be tough. I hope Adira will be okay because you know what if she gets up and starts bawling and she wants to see me, then what will happen! But my daughter is stronger than I think, she is very supportive.’’

Knowing Adira
“I think she is a great mix of me and Adi and she is very definitive in her answers. If it’s a NO, it means a NO and if it’s a yes, then it’s a yes. You can’t really mollycoddle her and think that she is a child so can get things done. She is a very good soul.”

The Adi Factor
“There has been a lot of change… I feel from the time my husband came into my life, that changed a lot. He is very honest and is very wise. We have a lot of things in common and that has helped us become better human beings… When the script (Hichki) came to me, I wasn’t thinking about getting back to work. I really liked the script and said, ‘Okay, we can go ahead with it.’ It was a process that happened organically. Then it hit me, ‘I have to leave my daughter and go to work.’ My husband feels if he hadn’t have pushed me, I wouldn’t have come back. I would be very happy being with Adira whole day long.”

Mellowed by Motherhood
“Giving birth to my daughter, bringing a new life into this world, you suddenly feel goddess-like. Ever since you are born, people set landmarks, that you’ll get married, you’ll give birth. But, till it happens, you don’t know actually. Some people say it is overhyped, some say it is under hyped; people have different opinions of it. Every single girl who goes through motherhood would feel her own emotion, will have her own journey… For me, it has been tremendous because it’s made me a much mellowed down person. I have become much more patient, much more tolerant.”
