Rani Mukerji remembers her ‘kind-hearted teachers and reveals how she emulated them in Hichki.
Today, the world is celebrating teachers’ day and even the Bollywood stars are showing gratitude for their teachers on the occasion. Recently, Rani Mukerji credited her teachers for shaping her into the person that she is today and thanked them for making her believe in her abilities.
Thanking her teachers for shaping her as the person she is, Rani Mukerji said, “Teachers and mentors have played a very important role in my life. Thankfully, I was blessed to have found teachers who guided me and shaped my foundation as a child for the person that I have become today. I cannot thank them enough because they are the most important people for a child outside their home.”
She added, “So when I got the opportunity to play a teacher in Hichki, I was thrilled! I tried to emulate the kind-hearted, noble teachers that I had interacted with as a child because I have a lot of fond memories of them. My teachers made me dream big, and told me that nothing was impossible to achieve if we put our heads down and work hard to realize that dream.”
Rani Mukerji further added that Hichki made her more aware as a human being and said, “Like Black, Hichki was a life-changing film for me. I think it made me a better human being, someone who was more aware of the needs of others. I had to find everything that was unfiltered, pure, uninhibited within me to bring Naina Mathur to life.”
She further added that her character in Hichki, Naina, is most special to her and said, “We have had some really good teachers on screen but Naina is very special because she had to overcome her own limitations without becoming caustic about the world and the harshness she faced from people. She showed everyone that you are never limited by who you are but you have the power to change the world with your abilities because we all are exceptional human beings. We just need to tap into that belief!”
Meanwhile, Rani Mukerji was last seen in the movie Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway wherein she essayed the role of a mother whose children were taken away from her by the Norwegian authorities embassy.
