Actress Rani Mukerji who has her comeback film ‘Hichki’ releasing soon is busy promoting the film. Last year she lost her father and this time around the demise of Bollywood’s legend Sridevi, who was really close to her, has left her shocked too.
Talking about the tragedy Rani said, “The day, the time I got to know about her demise, it was the most shocking and tragic thing for me to hear. I still can’t believe that we are talking about her demise. I feel surreal to talk about her in the past tense.”
“I was looking forward to show her my film ‘Hichki’. She called me after seeing the trailer and said ‘Laddoo, I have to see this movie’. I told her ‘yes maa as soon as the movie is ready, I can show it you’”, she revealed about Sridevi’s excitement for her film.
Furthermore, talking about her equation with Sridevi, she said, “Since I had a child, she’s been very supportive these last two years. The kind of love that she has given to me and Adira [daughter], has been phenomenal. She was literally like an elder sister, elder maasi (aunty), a pillar of support to me in the last two years. It is extremely sad that two people who loved me immensely, and I was keen to show them Hichki, are no longer in my life”.
“For me Sridevi ji has been my favourite from childhood. She knew me as a kid because I used to go in my school uniform to see her shooting. She worked in my uncle Shomu Mukherjee’s film. She remembers me as that kid I’ve connected with in a very different way when I grew up. She called me ‘Laddoo’. I’m going to miss that”,
She added, “For us to to even fathom something like this happened is too difficult to digest. What I went through with my dad, three months back is something very difficult to accept. But that is what life is. It tells you the most important truth, you have to accept it even if you don’t want to.”
Hichki is set to be released on 23 March.
