Rani Mukerji won her first National Award from her father’s room for ‘Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway’
The Magic of That Moment
Sometimes it feels as if the universe has everything in place for you.
Rani Mukerji felt exactly that when she won her first National Award.
This recognition for ‘Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway wasn’t just an award, but a reward for her late father’s blessings and memories.
Father’s Room, Now an Office
Just recently, Rani remodeled her father Ram Mukerji’s old room and converted it into a new office.
That same day, she held a Griha Pravesh puja there.
The simple atmosphere, not the holiday clothes, and the presence of her father in her heart changed everything.
When the Phone Changed the World
After finishing the puja, Rani was talking to her mother when she received a message on her mobile: “You won the National Award.”
A call shattered her faith. “Oh my God,” she said, sharing the good news first with herself and then with her mother.
Mother’s Untold Joy
As soon as her mother heard it, she screamed, cried, and then exclaimed, “If Papa were here, he would be so happy!”
Rani realized that this victory was her father’s wish, and he was now blessing her from somewhere.
Adira’s Support, Friends’ Enthusiasm
Younger daughter Adira couldn’t go to the theater, but watched it live at home. Karan Johar’s Yash and Roohi were also with her.
When Rani’s name appeared on the screen, the Taekwondo teacher and the house staff joined forces, and the children’s screams echoed with excitement.
Awards Function Look
Rani wore a brown Sabyasachi saree on stage. But the highlight was the necklace with Adira’s initials.
She smiled and said, “Babu couldn’t be with me, so I brought him with me.”
Long Due and Love
From Black to Paheli, Rani played powerful roles, but this honor seemed a bit bleak to her friends.
This award gave wings to hope, recognizing the years of hard work and talent.
A Full Circle
In the same room where childhood laughter was born, these carefree moments were found—conversations, prayers, and the magic of awards.
Rani proved that when she lived from the heart, the memories of her father transcended time.
This win has announced a new dawn in her career.
