Rani Mukerji iDiva Picture & Interview
Rani is on the cover of iDiva looking very alluring. Here are some excerpts from the interview:
Coming back to the present, what went wrong in the last couple of years before No One Killed Jessica last year? You had some consecutive flops after a spate of hits, and suddenly you just vanished...
(Snaps her fingers and says with a smile) “Don’t worry, from this year you’ll see me in two films every year at least. Coming back to your question, I had seen failures before but when those three films (Laaga Chunri Mein Daag, Thoda Pyaar, Thoda Magic and Dil Bole Hadippa) failed in quick succession, it affected me in a way no flop had affected me before. I didn’t know what I had done wrong. My confidence was completely shattered. All the movies I had taken up failed to make a mark with audiences and critics alike.
Are you dating someone?
“Yes, I am dating, but that’s as far as I’m willing to talk about my personal life.”
People, your fans especially, want to know about your personal life? They want to know if marriage is on the cards…
“They will when the time comes. Right now I have two movies coming out, which I’m very excited about. And that’s what I’m going to talk about.”
Will you marry an actor?
“No, two megalomaniacs can’t exist in the same house. We’ll probably end up killing each other.”
Have you spoken to Abhishek after he became a father?
“We aren’t in touch on the phone, but whenever I come across him, I will definitely congratulate him. It’s great news.”
So, would we see a Rani Mukerji patisserie soon?
“You could (smiles). I am very serious about going to Paris or Chicago for a fulltime patisserie course.”
What about the fact that today the shelf life of actresses is very low? Would you ever decide to do an item number? Or attend more red carpet events since visibility is so important these days?
“No. Because for me it’s important to cement an impression of my work. Acting is what I do best. It’s not difficult to be in the public eye. Go anywhere and you’ll find the media. See, I am not trying to sound high and mighty here. If I was being launched today, then I would do it exactly as the newcomers are doing it these days. But after 15 years in the course of which I have firmly established my credentials as an actress, I plan to only focus on acting."
