Rani Mukerji talks candidly about miscarriages
In an interview, Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji revealed the agony she endured following her tragic loss five months into her pregnancy. According to The Indian Express, the well-known actress disclosed that she was attempting to conceive her second child with husband and filmmaker Aditya Chopra in 2020, amid the Covid-19 epidemic.
When Mukerji gave birth to their daughter Adira in 2015, Mukerji and Chopra became parents for the first time. The Bollywood actor disclosed that when Adira was a year old, the couple started their long-awaited second child’s adoption process. Mukerji talked of her anguish at feeling too old to have a second child and the pain that engulfs her knowing that her daughter would never have a brother, despite facing terrible disappointment year after year.
“It’s challenging,” the Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway star said. “I spent nearly seven years trying for a second child. Now that my daughter is eight years old, I tried for a second time when she was one or one and a half years old. I persisted, eventually became pregnant, and lost the child. It went without saying that it was a really trying period for me. In addition, even though I appear youthful, I’m not that young. It’s my birthday soon—46. I’m not old enough to have a child at this time.
Though her situation may be severe, Mukerji said, it has made her appreciate her daughter—whom she tenderly referred to as her “miracle child”—even more. “I really hurt myself because I can’t give my daughter a sibling, and it is traumatizing for me,” she insisted. But we must constantly express our gratitude for what we have. Adira is my miracle kid, and I’m so grateful to have her in my life. Yes, Adira is enough, I’m reminding myself while I work on it.
Speaking about her miscarriage in public for the first time at the Indian Film Festival in Melbourne last year, Mukerji had previously avoided doing so while promoting her most recent movie for concern that it would detract from the goals of the production. “I wanted to avoid having it seem like me trying to talk about a personal experience that would drive the movie,” she said.
One year before Adira was born, in 2014, Mukerji and Chopra wed in a secret ceremony. Mukerji was formerly the most paid actor in Bollywood throughout the 2000s. “The time spent being a mother is the happiest period of my life,” she has previously stated on record.
