Rani’s Diplomacy!
Rani Mukherji is infamous for always being politically correct. You can’t stop this Bengali bombshell from crossing her ts and dotting her is. But this time we sit her down to ask some very pointed questions on the sets of KBC where she is recording the Holi Special. We had just one rule she couldn’t be diplomatic in her replies.
Below is an excerpt from an interview with Rani Mukherji…
Your friendship with Shahrukh is often written about. Tell us about it.
I love Shahrukh whether that is as my friend in my real life or as my hero in reel life. He is a great person and I admire him for that. I have learnt so much from him throughout my career and still continue to do so every day.
When he asked me to come onto the show I ensured I made it here. That’s just the way my relationship with him is – if he asks me for something there is no way I can ever tell him a no!
What do you think of KBC as a show?
I think this is a great show. It’s the perfect way to get the family to sit together and interact. When we all watch it at home, you can’t help but get involved and have mini competitions in your house. And think that’s a great way. Also at the same time kids get to learn so much so yea I think this a great great show.
How do you think Shahrukh is faring as the host?
For everyone who knows Shah, they will all agree he is a people’s person. The Shahrukh you see on your screen here on KBC is exactly how he is in real life too. And therefore I think this is the perfect show for him. He makes the contestants feel so comfortable and good about themselves. Personally if you ask me, I think Shah can do anything and I’ll love him in everything he does.
Are you fond of playing Holi?
If you personally ask me I think day by day, Holi is only getting dirtier. As a kid I remember love playing it but over time the whole festival is losing its charm. It doesn’t feel like Holi anymore. You only end up hearing of people getting hurt with all those egg balloons and mud being thrown. Holi used to be a whole lot of fun but it doesn’t feel like that anymore.
So why did you agree to participate in the Holi Special then?
Like I said, Shah asked me to come and I can never tell him a no. But also more importantly this is a great opportunity for me to earn some money for a cause I am supporting. All the money I win today will be donated to the Holy Family Hospital. My niece was born there and one of the doctors there drew my attention to the fact there isn’t any facility for new born babies that may have a heart condition. So therefore all the money I win here tonight will be given to the hospital to help them with building this ward.
