How does Rani Mukherji adjust to so many different temperaments?
I think all actors are as good as the script and the director. We are clay and can be molded according to the characters we play be it Yuvva, Black or Paheli.
And in the process do you learn something from your characters?
Most certainly, from Michele in Black I learnt that there should be dignity in deprivation. I became grateful for everything God has given me. From Heera the prostitute in Mangal Pandey – The Rising I learnt there is courage in conviction. From Laachi in Paheli I cherished my right to exercise my choice. From Maya in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna I learnt that I should only marry for love. From Bunty aur Babli I learnt to listen to my heart. From Millie in Babul to cherish relationships and from Radhika in Ta Ra Rum Pum to never take success or money for granted.
What have you learnt from show business?
To be in the present and to have no expectations from anyone, to rely on yourself, your work.
And from life?
To remain happy and live life to the fullest without regrets because we don’t know what’s awaiting us tomorrow.
