Recently, in an interview with ANI, Rani Mukerji opened up about the time when she made a comeback after the birth of her daughter, Adira. Rani shared that she had to shoot for the film, Hichki while taking care of her daughter, who was just 14 months old. She shared that she was still breastfeeding and would pump the milk in the morning and leave for the shoot. Recalling how she managed the shooting of the film, Rani shared:
“When I did ‘Hichki’, Adira was 14 months old, and I was still breastfeeding her, so I had to pump the milk and go in the morning, and I was shooting in a college in town. From my house in the suburbs in Juhu to that place, and the traffic takes about two hours. So I kind of made it a thing where in the morning I would leave at 6:30 after expressing my milk, and I would shoot. My first shot used to be at 8 in the morning and I used to wrap up everything by 12:30-1.”
