Rani Mukerji is back with Hichki and has already got everyone talking about her performance. The striking Bengali beauty can set your hearts racing with her alluring voice, dangerous honesty and warm smile. 

The actor turned 40 just recently and has been multitasking to strike the right balance between her professional commitments and personal life. Rani, who is a mother to a 2-year-old Adira, in an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla reiterated that she wants to give her daughter a "normal" childhood. 


"I think it is very important for me that I try and give Adira a very normal childhood. When I say normal, there are different ways of defining normal. In my definition of normal, it is very important for me to let Adira grow up in a place where nobody knows or recognises her so that she is not given that attention that you normally get when you are a known person," Rani stated. 

She elaborated that as a mother, she wants Adira to grow with other children, play in parks without being under constant media glare. "I think it is very important for me to send her to the beach or park because playing with kids is also important. I don't want to snatch away her childhood because her parents are achievers and probably in the media glare. I would like her to have that kind of an upbringing, but of course, we can do as much as we can but I am sure when she grows up, there will be pictures of her," Rani added.

However, like any other mother, Rani maintained that she will try her best to protect Adira. "I will try to protect her as much as I can but the rest I have to leave it to my destiny. But to my luck, the paparazzi has been vey respectful and they always listened to my pleased of not taking pictures of my daughter. I am really thankful to them. I am sure they also understand as people what I am trying to do," she stressed.
