Rani Mukerji opens up on motherhood; says, “You suddenly realise that you’re not important anymore”

Rani stated during an interview with Kareena Kapoor Khan on Mirchi Plus, “I try to spend more time with her and she is like ‘yeah mama now it’s my me time’, which my husband (Aditya Chopra) has taught her, this word ‘me time.’ So she is like, very sweetly, she will not ask me to leave the room, so she will be like how do I tell mum, in a very nice way. So she is saying, mama it’s my me time.” Rani said that she is not a ‘me time’ person and added, “I am like, all my time is for you my child.”

Further talking about motherhood, she said, “I think what happens to women when they become mothers is that there’s something in us that changes immediately. The minute you see the baby out of your system and you look at that baby’s face, you suddenly realise that you’re not important anymore. There’s somebody else more important than you. It’s the first time in our lives that we realise we love somebody more than ourselves. When that moment happened in my life, for me, there was nothing more important than my child.”

Rani Mukerji tied knot with Aditya Chopra in 2014 in an intimate Bengali ceremony in Italy. The couple embraced parenthood and welcomed their daughter Adira Chopra in 2015.
