Rani Mukerji had miscarriage in 2020 

According to a report in The Business Today, Rani Mukerji revealed going through a tragedy in 2020 during the pandemic. She revealed that she was expecting a second child but miscarried five months into her pregnancy. Rani said, “Maybe this is the first time I am making this revelation because in today’s world, every aspect of your life is discussed publicly, and becomes an agenda for talking about your film to get more eyeballs. Obviously, I didn’t speak about this when I was promoting the film because it would have come across as me trying to speak about a personal experience that would propel the film… so, it was around the year when Covid-19 struck. It was 2020. I got pregnant with my second baby at the end of 2020 and I unfortunately lost my baby five months into my pregnancy."
