Rani Mukerji has been celebrated as one of the most powerful actresses in Indian cinema. As the actress gears up for the release of Mardaani 3, she recently opened up about one of the most personal and emotionally challenging phases of her life, the loss of her second child.

Rani Mukerji on suffering a miscarriage


During an interaction with Pinkvilla, Rani Mukerji was seen revealing her approach to choosing meaningful stories when she spoke candidly about Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway. She added that the film came to her at a time of profound personal loss. The Natioanl Award winning actress shared that she suffered a miscarriage with her second child in 2020.



Talking about why she chose Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway and how the film resonated with her instantly because of the emotional state she said, "Wo jo kahani thi wo mujhe bhi aise ek mod pe hua tha, matlab wo film mere paas aayi thi, jab maine mera dusra baccha kho diya tha. Toh yeh sense of loss tha mera bohot aur wo kahani sunke mai itna judd gayi aur maine bola ye kahani mujhe batani hai." (That story came to me at a time when I had lost my second child [due to a miscarriage]. So my sense of loss was huge, and hearing that film’s story, I got attached to it and wanted to tell it to people.)

For the unversed, the film revolves around a mother separated from her child. Rani reflected how the story mirrored her own grief, making the project deeply personal. Highlighting the emotional impact of forced separation, Rani shared, “Apne bacchon ke bina ek maa ka kya haal hota hai aur aapka baccha aapse leke koi chale jaye aapki aankhon ki saamne toh us maa pe kya gujarti hai, bacchon pe kya gujarti hai [wo dikhana tha]." (I wanted to show what happens to a mother when her child is taken away from her in front of her eyes, and how deeply it affects the children too.)
