The latest episode of Koffee with Karan was an absolute blast! Rani Mukerji and Kajol, the dynamic duo of cousins, graced the Koffee couch with their infectious energy and lively banter. Their playful teasing of Karan Johar and non-stop laughter made the episode a riot of entertainment.
Rani Mukerji on her Successful Strategy to Shield Daughter from Paparazzi
Amidst the laughter, Karan Johar delved into a more serious topic, inquiring about Rani Mukerji’s remarkable ability to keep her daughter, Adira, out of the public eye. He pointed out that there are no pictures of Adira anywhere.
With her signature humour, Rani shared, “I simply tell them not to snap the baby’s picture. They look into my eyes, and they get scared.”
Rani further elaborated, “Right from the time Adira was born, I have to thank all the paparazzi and all the media people; they really love me because they kind of respected that. They know how Adi (Aditya Chopra) is. It was our decision together that we didn’t want Adira to be photographed because we have a different idea of how we want to raise Adira so that she doesn’t feel privileged, she doesn’t feel very special at school, and she feels like any other kid. And she doesn’t get any extra attention. That was something Adi and I wanted for her. That would only happen if she were not photographed.”
A Turning Point: Rani Mukerji’s First Trip with Adira
Rani recalled a pivotal moment during her first international trip with Adira. She approached the paparazzi and politely requested, “Please don’t take pictures of the baby,” and from that day forward, they respected her wishes. Since then, whenever she travels, the paparazzi patiently wait until Adira is safely inside the airport before capturing any photos.
Rani’s Decision: A Reflection of Parenting Philosophy
Rani’s decision to shield Adira from the public eye stems from her parenting philosophy. She believes in raising Adira as a normal child, free from the pressures and privileges of the spotlight. Rani’s approach highlights the importance of respecting children’s privacy and allowing them to develop their own identities without the constant glare of media attention.
