Rani Mukerji finds a special way to keep her daughter Adira close at the 71st National Awards ceremony

Rani Mukerji received her first National Award on Tuesday, September 23. She was honoured with the Best Actress award for her outstanding performance in Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway. For the special evening, Rani draped a mocha coloured Sabyasachi saree. She handpicked the handwoven and hand dyed Benarasi saree and paired it with a handwoven satin ‘Katan’ silk blouse. While she looked stunning in the outfit, it was a nod to her daughter Adira that won everyone over.

Rani sported a delicate gold chain featuring Adira’s name, giving a glimpse of her love for her daughter. Sharing the photos below.

After entertaining the audience for close to three decades, Rani Mukerji won her first National Award last evening for her performance in Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, a film that was inspired by true events. The actress has delivered many powerful performances in her career, like Talaash and Black, but something resonated a lot with this 2023 drama as it became a critical and commercial success.

Rani Mukerji has all the reasons to celebrate this win and as she takes home her first National Award for Best Actor (Female), it’s time to revisit her exclusive interview with Firstpost that happened post the release and success of her film. In that interview, the actress spoke about what touched the audience, and the responsibilities of essaying the role of a mother.

Mukerji had revealed, “I think the success of the film is because of the audience, you know, if the audience hadn’t given the film a chance then you and I wouldn’t have been doing this interview. I believe that good cinema will find its audience. And this is what happened with this film, and I’m really grateful to the audience for having given the film a chance on the big screen.”
