Rani Mukerji’s emotional gesture of wearing a custom gold necklace with her daughter Adira’s initials at the 71st National Film Awards melted hearts. Read on to know the reason.
Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji shared her heartfelt feelings after winning her first National Film Award for her film, Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway. The necklace she wore at the awards ceremony in Delhi wasn’t just a piece of jewelry, but a special memory of her daughter Adira. The necklace featured Adira’s initials. This is why, when photos and videos went viral on social media, people called it the most beautiful moment of the day. Rani shared at the India Today Conclave that her daughter Adira wanted to attend the ceremony, but children under 14 were not allowed. Hearing this, Adira broke down in tears and said it was unfair that she couldn’t accompany her mother on her special day. Rani thought to wear a necklace with Adira’s initials. Rani smiled and said, “She’s my lucky charm. I wanted her with me, and this was the closest I could do,”
Rani further explained that when Instagram reels and posts about the necklace went viral, she showed them to Adira. She said, “I want to thank everyone who made those reels and snippets on Instagram, writing that ‘Rani carried her daughter along.’ I showed them to Adira, and it calmed her down.” This small gesture became a great memory for her and her daughter.
Rani Mukerji paused here to not only share her feelings but also address the stereotypes that often bind women between career and marriage and children. She said that the notion that women can’t work after marriage or having children is wrong. She cited actresses like Hema Malini, Sharmila Tagore, and Dimple Kapadia, who continued working even after marriage and having children. Rani said, “Each woman should decide for herself what she wants to do,” she said firmly. “If you want to work after marriage, it’s your choice. If you want to be a homemaker, that’s also your right. Being a homemaker is one of the toughest jobs.”
