Your child is born. She will grow up. She will have her own life. But you cannot forget who you are. You fans are waiting for you so you need to go back to work", she added.

In the same interview, Rani was asked how she felt after her film Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway did well at the box office. In response, she said that she was relieved and said: 'For an actor, the validation comes in through box office numbers. We will get an opportunity to do another film only because we know that an audience wants to watch you." She further said that box office success validates an actor.
The actress further said that she was told she would get a few roles after marriage. She was also told that the chances of her getting roles after having a baby are "completely bleak." "And I shattered all of that", she added.
Workwise, Rani was last seen in Ashima Chibber's Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway which was based on a true story of an Indian couple whose children were taken away by Norwegian authorities back in 2011. The film stars Rani, Anirban Bhattacharya, Jim Sarbh, Neena Gupta, and Barun Chanda among others. Written by Chibber, Sameer Satija, and Rahul Handa. Upon release, the film met with positive critical response and turned out to be a commercial success. Prior to that, Rani had appeared in the 2021 comedy crime drama Bunty Aur Babli 2 with Saif Ali Khan, Sharvari Wagh and Siddhant Chaturvedi. Post her marriage, the actress has become selective with her choice of scripts. We can hope she does more films in the future.
