Rani Mukerji also elaborated on why it is necessary to be responsible with film scripts because the viewers that watch the films take something from the performance and implement it in their own personal lives. She said, "It's very important to be able to say something that triggers a thought or inspires somebody in their own life because you know, people from all walks of life watch movies. So what they take from the character of a film is something that is very personal to them. So everybody picks up some kind of nuance or something that they must have liked in the performance or the character or the film and they take it back to their own personal life and it probably changes a lot for them."

Mostly all Rani Mukerji films in recent times have had content that has the ability to inspire viewers positively, be it gritty films like Mardaani, Hichki, No One Killed Jessica or more recently Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway.
