Rani Mukerji
Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji recently shared insights into her role in Karan Johar’s controversial movie, “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna” (KANK), revealing that the film contributed to the dissolution of numerous relationships. The actress addressed the audience at the 54th International Film Festival of India held in Goa.
Reflecting on the aftermath of “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna,” Rani remarked, “I think what happened with Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna was that, after the film (was released), there were a lot of divorces. There were a lot of people going to the theatre and watching the film in extreme discomfort. And I think that is the feedback Karan got for his film, and I think it opened the eyes of a lot of people and they took the decision of being happy.”
Delving into her character Maya, Rani further explained, “What is beautiful about Maya’s character is that she loved Rishi in a different capacity and as a friend. What she found in Shah Rukh’s character was the romance she was always looking for. It is very important to talk about a woman’s wants and her choices. Just because the husband doesn’t beat you, it does not mean that he is good in bed or you are in love with him. A woman is never asked, ‘Are you attracted to this man?’”
In addition to Rani Mukerji, the cast of “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna” included Preity Zinta, Abhishek Bachchan, and Shah Rukh Khan in pivotal roles. Transitioning to her recent projects, Rani was last seen in “Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway.”
