Rani Mukerji tied the knot with Yash Chopra‘s son Aditya Chopra in 2014.
However, did you know once Yash Chopra locked Rani Mukerji’s parents in a room? Continue reading to know why.
Rani starred in Saathiya in 2002 opposite Vivek Oberoi and it was a huge success but however, there is more to this.
As per reports, in an old interview, Rani had said that her father Ram Mukherjee and mother Krishna Mukherjee went to Yash’s office to convey that Rani didn’t want to star in Saathiya.
Rani had said that after Mujhse Dosti Karoge, she waited for about eight months ‘without any work’. “At that time, refusing work, like my mother thought I had gone mad because anything that was getting offered to me I was just like ‘no, no, no’. I started taking decisions then.” When asked what she did during that time Rani added, “nothing, I just sat at home“.
She also said, “A lot of film critics and magazines had written me off and they said ‘her career’s over’ and I was okay with that. I was like probably they are right but I’m not going to give up. I’m going to take up something that my heart believes in. Then luckily Saathiya came along and I remember Yash (Chopra) uncle calling my parents to the office. My parents had gone to tell Yash uncle that ‘Rani is not interested to do this film’. He called me up and said, ‘Beta, you’re making a very big mistake. I’m locking the door of my room and I’m not letting your parents out till you say yes to the film‘. And I thank him for that.”
