The call Rani Mukherjee received took her by surprise. The caller was not a stranger either but his demand was definitely strange, telling that Rani Mukherjee’s parents were locked in the room, the door would not open if they did not obey.
Recall 2002, when Rani Mukherjee’s star-studded film Majh Se Dosti Karo Gi received extraordinary publicity, but despite the presence of Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor, the film failed miserably at the box office. .
Just imagine that when Yash Raj Films is created, on which capital is poured like water but the result is zero, then what else will the actors do if they are not patient?
Especially Rani Mukherjee whose name is associated with movies like ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, ‘Hello Brother’, ‘Bachhu’, ‘Har Dil Jo Pyaar Kare Ga’ and ‘Nayak’, the expectations will be high. Expectations are heightened when Rani Mukherjee’s cousin Kajal on the other hand is climbing the ladder of success one after the other. Rani Mukherjee’s ego and independence in the professional and family competition required her to prove herself even more.
Rani Mukherjee’s heart sank even more when she saw comments in film magazines after ‘Majh Se Dosti Karo Gi’ that her career was over. Many film pundits had already criticized her voice and fatness. Understand that he got an open opportunity to make fun of Rani Mukherjee’s career and her acting.
This was the phase when Rani Mukherjee was suffering from a mental trauma. Director and filmmaker Ram Mukherjee’s daughter was now discouraged. That’s why she decided that she will now enter the selection of films with a bang, no matter how long it takes, she will not appear in any film in which her role is secondary or obligatory.
Rani Mukherjee spent about eight months at home. During this time, she was offered several films, but the fear of failure was so overwhelming to Rani that after reading the script of each film, she would answer ‘no’.
But fate also plays strange games. Yash Raj Films, the same production house of Majh Se Dosti Karo Ge, has once again approached Rani Mukherjee for a new film.
Rani Mukherjee was informed that the film she is being roped in is a remake of the Tamil-language hit, which is being produced by Yash Raj Films and renowned South Indian producer and director Mani Ratnam, while the director There is Shad Ali, whose first creation this will be.
Knowing all this that this is also the director’s first film, Rani Mukherjee apologized as usual.
Despite Rani Mukherjee’s refusal, Yash Raj Films kept insisting to work in the film ‘Sathiya’, but Rani Mukherjee vehemently denied the offer. When the pressure started to mount, Rani Mukherjee convinced father Ram Mukherjee and mother Krishna to approach Yash Raj Films head Yash Chopra to make her message clear.

The next day, Rani’s parents came to Yash Chopra’s room and informed him that their daughter was not willing to work in ‘Sathiya’ under any circumstances. Yash Chopra listened to both of them and then left the room saying ‘I am coming.’ In a little while.’
Yash Chopra left the room and called Rani Mukherjee. Rani Mukherjee had already read the script. That’s why Yash Chopra without wasting time said that if Rani says not to work in the film, it will be a big mistake of his career. Rani Mukherjee once again made an excuse that the role is good but she is not mentally fit to act in any film right now.
There was silence on the phone for a few moments and then Yash Chopra’s voice hit Rani’s ears, that was the moment when she was shocked and worried about Yash Chopra’s demand. He was saying, ‘Son, I have locked your parents in the room. I won’t let your parents go unless you say ‘yes’.”
Rani Mukherjee had great respect for Yash Chopra. For a moment they did not understand anything. What kind of condition or demand was Yash Chopra making from him? She knew that if they were making this demand, there must be some tail in it. After some thought, he surrendered and told Yash Chopra that he was ready to work in ‘Sathiya’. When his parents returned home.
Rani Mukherjee’s hero in the film was Vivek Oberoi, while the story of this creation was not the traditional hero and heroine, but a married, sensible couple, in which a minor misunderstanding drives them apart.
The lyrics and dialogues of ‘Sathiya’ were penned by Gulzar while the music was composed by AR Rahman. Not only this, Shah Rukh Khan and Tabu appeared as guest stars in the climax of the film.
The untouchable and unique story of ‘Sathiya’, extraordinary acting by Vivek Oberoi and Rani Mukherjee and then the songs created a sensation all around.
The popularity of the film can be gauged from the fact that Rani Mukherjee was nominated for Best Actress at the Filmfare Awards for ‘Sathiya’. Something similar happened to Vivek Oberoi. Overall ‘Sathiya’ won six awards out of eight nominations. Among them, Rani Mukherjee also got the best actress award in the critics category.
In fact, through this film, Rani Mukherjee once again got a chance to step into Bollywood. The apprehensions and reservations that they had, proved wrong. Sometimes she wondered how much loss she would have had if Yash Chopra had threatened not to let her future samdhi, Rani Mukherjee’s parents, out of the room.
Samadhi because Rani Mukherjee got married to Yash Chopra’s son Aditya Chopra in the coming days.

**Interview with Rani Mukherjee: A Journey of Resilience and Surprise**
**Interviewer:** Rani, thank you for joining us today. You’ve had quite a remarkable journey in the film industry, from facing challenges in your early career to becoming one of Bollywood’s leading actresses. Can you tell us what was going through your mind during the difficult period after the release of “Majh Se Dosti Karo Gi”?
**Rani Mukherjee:** Thank you for having me. You know, after “Majh Se Dosti Karo Gi,” I really felt a sense of disappointment. The pressure and expectations were overwhelming, especially with my cousin Kajol’s success at the time. I was battling a lot of self-doubt and negative comments from critics, which affected my mental state significantly.
**Interviewer:** It sounds incredibly challenging. How did you find the strength to navigate through that phase?
**Rani Mukherjee:** It was tough; I took time off to reflect and recharge. I spent around eight months at home, saying ‘no’ to many offers because I didn’t want to settle for anything less than what I believed I could do. I needed to regain my confidence and find roles that resonated with me.
**Interviewer:** And then came the pivotal moment when Yash Raj Films approached you for “Saathiya.” What was your initial reaction to the offer?
**Rani Mukherjee:** Initially, I was apprehensive. I was still recovering from my previous experiences and didn’t feel mentally ready to jump back into acting. Even when they insisted, I felt the need to convey my hesitations to Yash Chopra through my parents.
**Interviewer:** That’s quite a unique circumstance! How did Yash Chopra’s unexpected demand change that situation?
**Rani Mukherjee:** (laughs) Yes, it was certainly surprising! When Yashji told me he had locked my parents in a room until I agreed to do the film, I was taken aback. I had great respect for him, and I realized that this was his way of pushing me to confront my fears. His confidence in me made me reconsider, and eventually, I agreed to take the plunge.
**Interviewer:** That sounds like a defining moment in your career. ”Saathiya” became quite a success. How did it feel to come back with such a remarkable film?
**Rani Mukherjee:** It felt incredible. Working with Vivek Oberoi and under the direction of Shaad Ali was refreshing. The film dealt with real relationships and misunderstandings, which resonated with many viewers. It was liberating to be back on set and tell a story that mattered.
**Interviewer:** Looking back, what would you say to those who are facing their own challenges in the industry or any walk of life?
**Rani Mukherjee:** I’d say persistence is key. Every challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow. It’s important to trust yourself and your journey, and never shy away from taking risks. You might just surprise yourself with what you can achieve!
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Rani, for sharing your inspiring journey with us. Your story is a testament to resilience and the power of believing in oneself.
**Rani Mukherjee:** Thank you! It was my pleasure to share my experiences.
