The report states that she is expecting her child in January 2016, and also adds that she is currently travelling with Chopra and was also spotted by a fan in London getting a pre-natal spa massage. Rani had said in an interview in July this year, she saw herself doing “kick-ass films” and having “lovely babies beside me as I go to the set” in five years. She also added that she was not interested in doing the roles she did earlier in her career, “It’s embarrassing for a 37-year-old to do the roles she did in her twenties,“said Rani to India Today, “I’m not delusional. I’m conscious of what the audience wants to see me in.”

Rani Mukherjee’s last film was Pradeep Sarkar’s Mardaani, which hit the theatres in August 2014.
