Rani Mukerji, a powerhouse of talent in Bollywood, has been entertaining moviegoers for quite a while. In a long and illustrious career, the actress has always chosen quality over quantity. Her acclaimed films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Mardaani, and Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, among others, speak volumes about her versatility in craft. In a recent interview, the actress poured her heart out as she reflected on the importance of the audience's feedback. She went on to express her belief in the fact that an audience would never come with “an agenda to hate a film.”

Rani Mukerji on the importance of audience's feedback

In a recent interview with India Today.in, Rani Mukerji talked extensively about her views on learning better with every project. She also called her audience the “most honest critic” because she believes they don’t come with a preconceived notion of not liking a film. The actress stated that for her, the most gratifying thing is when somebody tells her that they hope to win all the awards.

“The most rewarding thing is when somebody comes and tells me that they wish I win all the awards. That's genuine, and that, in itself, is an award. I'd rather have people to say that rather than them saying that I don't deserve an award, but I won it. For me, that is more rewarding,” she said.

In addition to this, Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway actress, further explained that she is driven by the audience’s feedback. The actress admits that a film’s debacle at the box office is what gives her the ‘learning experience.’

She opined, “It's important to know how the audience perceives my films and what do they think about, and it happens even when my film doesn't work. When a film doesn't work, it means there's something that they haven't connected to. It's a learning experience with each film. They are spending their hard-earned money, and they have all the right to tell you whether they loved you or hated you. It's the most honest critique to have because they have no agenda. They won't come with an agenda to hate a film.”


Rani Mukerji wants audiences to travel with her character

Furthermore, the actress went on to speak about how she wants the audience to resonate with and travel with her character. Asserting her job as an actor, Rani mentions that their job is to make the viewers happy. According to her, if the audience watches her film and gets moved by it, ‘that’s rewarding’ for her.

In her view, if they connect and live through her portrayal and feel all the emotions, that adds up to her ‘journey for that particular film.’ For Rani, receiving such feedback is a validation that she has done justice to the film.
