Rani Mukerji Reveals Why Daughter Adira Broke Down in Tears
Rani explained that Adira couldn’t attend the event because she is under 14 years old. “She (Adira) was howling. She wanted to be a part of the National Awards function. We were told that children below 14 weren’t allowed. I had to tell her that she couldn’t be with me, and she said That’s so unfair, because I am the happiest for you, and I’ve also made a painting for you on your special day. And I told her, ‘Don’t worry, I will have you with me on my special day,” she stated.

The actress revealed that showing Adira videos of fans sharing clips of her wearing the necklace on social media helped calm her down. “She’s my lucky charm. I wanted her with me, and this was the closest I could do. I want to thank everyone who made those reels and snippets on Instagram, writing that ‘Rani carried her daughter along.’ I showed them to Adira, and it calmed her down,” she mentioned.
Rani Mukerji Film Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway
Rani Mukerji received her first National Award for Best Actress for her role in Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway. The honour was presented at a ceremony held at Vigyan Bhavan in New Delhi. For the occasion, she chose a brown saree paired with a gold necklace bearing her daughter Adira’s initials. Rani married filmmaker Aditya Chopra in 2014, and the couple welcomed their daughter the following year, in 2015. Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, directed by Ashima Chibber, is based on the real-life ordeal of Sagarika Chakraborty, an Indian mother whose children were taken away by Norway’s child welfare authorities in 2011. The incident triggered a deeply emotional and prolonged legal battle that spanned two countries.
Upon its release, the film earned positive reviews, with critics applauding its impactful subject and Rani’s compelling performance. Although it managed only a semi-hit run at the box office, collecting ₹38.3 crore worldwide against a budget of ₹20 crore, it gained stronger recognition later through its success on OTT platforms.
