Rani Mukerji: I became an actor by default

On Tuesday, Rani Mukerji launched the song ‘Oye Hichki, which is the title track of ‘Hichki’. At the song launch, Rani Mukerji revealed that her mother decided that she would become an actress. The actress also expressed that she was obedient as a child. “I did not decide (to become an actor). My mum decided that for me. When we were young, it was a different generation, unlike what happens today.”


The actress further added, “I was an obedient child. So I did whatever my mum said. She said become an actor, so I became an actor. She realised my thing (for acting) before me. I became an actor by default. I thank my mum today as I don’t think I would be anything else than an actor.”


Rani Mukerji said, “I believe today all girls should learn martial arts, self-defense and then learn dance after that. So I would like my daughter to learn both.”


‘Hichki’ is slated to release on March 23rd. The film highlights the story of Naina (Rani Mukerji), who faces discrimination from the society that firmly believes she cannot be a teacher because of her disorder, Tourette’s syndrome.
