Her dream of making a house for her life partner remains unfulfilled, says Rani Mukerji, drawing an interesting comparison between herself and her character in her forthcoming film Aiyyaa.
Rani is a dreamer and so is Meenakshi Deshpande, her character in Aiyyaa.
“I am quite a dreamer. I think we all are dreamers. We all don’t like to live a practical life all the time. There is a thin line between our hopes and dreams,” Rani said, highlighting the similarities between the two.
“My dream of making a beautiful house for my parents has been fulfilled and my dream of making a house for my husband is still there.”
Asked when she planned to fulfill the dream, Rani said on a philosophical note: “I don’t know. Death, birth and marriage are the three things that you cannot plan and predict. When it will happen, it will happen.”
Rani, 34, who has completed 15 years in filmdom and has more than 40 films to her credit, feels that she has evolved as a person as well as an actress.
Rani admits that her career has been influenced by a lot of people in the industry.
“There are a lot of people who have been there for me. Right from my first heroes Aamir and Shah Rukh Khan to my directors Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Mani Ratnam and now Sachin Kundalkar (Aiyyaa). I am growing with my experience of working with different directors and co-stars. As an actor I am supposed to learn. The day I stop learning, I will stagnate,” she said.
