Rani Mukerji: Fans helped me survive prejudices a married actress with baby faces

The actress completes 25 years in the film industry this year. Rani says that she has discovered herself and her craft over the years.

Actress Rani Mukerji is grateful to her fans for not writing her off after she got married and had a baby, helping her evade the general perception that careers of married actresses slow down.

"Without my fans, I would not have been able to survive, especially with the kind of prejudices a married actress with a baby has to go through. The fact that they have supported me throughout is nothing short of a miracle and that's why I'm still working and doing relevant work," she claims.

The actress completes 25 years in the film industry this year.

"When I think of the number of years, it seems like a very long time but honestly for me it just seems like my journey has never stopped. It's just gone on and on since the day I was 16 and I started working. Now, 25 years feels the same because the struggle is yet on, and the learning is still on as an actor. There is a lot that I have to accomplish, there is a lot that I have to learn," she says.

She adds that she has discovered herself and her craft over the years.

"For an actor, learning never stops and the more experience I have with different directors, different technicians, different co-stars, I get to learn a lot. It still feels nice and I am raring to go because with each film, I kind of discover a new me and I love telling stories -- important stories, powerful women stories," she says.

The actress will next be seen in "Bunty Aur Babli 2" and "Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway".
