Rani Mukerji has already impressed everyone with her realistic performance in her movie Hichki, which released just today. In the movie, Rani is seen playing the role of a teacher who suffers from Tourette syndrome.

She also got candid about feeling the pre-release and post-release jitters and also added that for her, it is important to know how her audience react to her performance.

"Of course, I think for every actor, the day box office jitters die, that is the day you need to pack up and leave," she said.

She further stressed on how every Friday release is important to an actor and said, "Box office jitters should never leave an artist because we work so hard for this Friday. We are working for the audience, to see their reaction, to know what they think of our performance. For us, every Friday is so important. I think jitters are the least that an actor can have, it is something which is very organic. "

About the importance of gauging audience's reaction, she said, "For me, as an actor, it is very important to know what my audience thinks of my performance. Going forward from here, because I am a mother today and because I have to multitask, I need to know if the audience wants to see me back onscreen, only then it will be worthwhile for me to come back and do many films. But if I realise that my audience does not want to see me anymore, then I think I need to pack my bag and just take care of my child."
