Rani Mukerji and Aditya Chopra may be one of Bollywood’s most low-profile couples, but that hasn’t stopped them from becoming fan favourites. While Rani continues to stay in the public eye, her filmmaker husband has famously kept his distance from it—rarely making public appearances or getting caught by the paparazzi.
“It’s all because of you!”
In a light-hearted revelation, Rani once shared a hilarious behind-the-scenes glimpse into their relationship. Speaking to Siddharth Kannan in an interview, she admitted that Aditya jokingly “curses” her every day. Why? Because ever since their 2014 wedding, the elusive director has found it harder to maintain his cherished privacy.
“He tells me, ‘Because of you, my photos are all over the internet now!’” Rani laughed, adding that her presence in the public eye has inadvertently dragged him into it as well. While fans love catching rare glimpses of Aditya, it seems the man himself isn’t quite as thrilled!
The Man Behind Her Comeback
But beyond the playful banter, Rani has often credited Aditya Chopra for being her pillar of strength—especially during her transition into motherhood. In a 2023 interview with Pinkvilla, the Mardaani star revealed that she became deeply immersed in parenting after the birth of their daughter. It was Aditya who gently nudged her back into the world of cinema, reminding her of her identity beyond motherhood and the fans eager to see her return.
Back as Shivani Shivaji Roy in Mardaani 3
Rani is now gearing up to reprise her role as Shivani Shivaji Roy in Mardaani 3, directed by Abhiraj Minawala and produced by none other than Aditya Chopra. The film is set to hit theatres on February 27, 2026, and is already generating buzz.
Meanwhile, Aditya has a packed slate as a producer with high-profile films like War 2, Alpha, and several other big projects lined up under the YRF banner.
