Rani Mukherjee revealed that she had a miscarriage in 2020 after getting pregnant for the second time. The Bollywood actor opened up about her tragedy during the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne in 2023. She revealed that she lost her baby 5 months into the pregnancy.

Rani Mukherjee added that this may be the first time she is disclosing this because in today’s world every aspect of their life is discussed publicly to cause a stir for promoting your film. She revealed that she didn’t talk about this experience during her film’s promotion as it would have looked like she was doing it to draw more attention to the film.

Sharing her heartbreaking incident, Rani Mukherjee narrated that it was around the year when the Covid-19 pandemic struck. She got pregnant with her second baby at the end of 2020 and unfortunately she lost the baby 5 months into the pregnancy. She recalled that after she lost her baby, Nikhil Advani, producer of Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway called her 10 days later.

The producer told her about the story of Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway and the actor immediately connected with it. However, she clarified that she didn’t need to have the loss of a child to feel the emotion. She expressed that she was in disbelief when she heard the story and that she never thought that in a country like Norway an Indian family would have to go through something like this.

In the film, Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, Rani Mukherjee played the role of a mother in a battle with the country for her children. According to reports, the film was based on the book, The Journey of a Mother by Sagarika Chakaraborty. The film directed by Ashima Chibber, also features Neena Gupta, Jim Sarbh, Anirban Bhattacharya and many others.

Rani married producer-director Aditya Chopra in 2014 and after a year, they welcomed their daughter Adira. Rani Mukherjee and Aditya Chopra both do not have social media and are private about their life. However, Rani revealed earlier this year that her daughter Adira was born two months premature and had to be admitted in the NICU as she was really tiny.
