It has been 30 years since one of the most talented actresses of the Hindi film industry made her debut. Rani Mukerji started her career with the film Raja Ki Aayegi Baaraat and went on to become one of the biggest female superstars of Bollywood. Even after 30 years, she is starring in movies as a lead and proving her mettle as a star and as an actor. While she gears up for the release of Mardaani 3, the actress on Thursday sat down for a conversation with her Kuch Kuch Hota Hai director Karan Johar.

Coming from a Bengali, humble family

Recalling her childhood, Rani said, “It was more about being in a very Bengali, humble family. My dad and mom tried to make ends meet. I used to see them struggle through their days. I saw my mom go through those days with so much happiness, with that bright smile and that laughter of hers.”
