In Yash Chopra’s films, the women always had an equal part or even slightly better part than the men. It speaks volumes about him as a filmmaker that he always listened to his heart rather than conforming to the norms! His immense respect for women always showed in the way he presented his heroines.

He had this magnetic energy that always drew everyone towards him. He was full of life and always fun to be around.
On the work front, Rani gears up to star in ‘Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway’. Inspired by a true story, the film tells the tale of an immigrant Indian mother and her fight with the Norwegian foster care system to win back the custody of her children.
