Rani Mukerji's Heartbreak Fueled "Mrs. Chatterjee" Role

Rani Mukerji shared that a personal tragedy significantly shaped her involvement in the film 'Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway'. The script arrived in 2020, a time when Mukerji was grieving the loss of her second child due to a miscarriage five months into her pregnancy.

This profound sense of loss deeply connected her to the film's narrative, which focuses on a mother's harrowing experience of being separated from her child. Mukerji expressed her desire to convey the desperation and longing of such a mother to Indian audiences.

She aimed to counter the prevalent obsession with settling abroad by showcasing the stark realities faced by families, particularly the emotional devastation of a mother when her children are taken away. Mukerji's nearly three-decade career has been marked by her choice of socially relevant and emotionally resonant roles.
