On acclaimed performances, destiny and alleged link-ups — actress Rani Mukherjee gets candid with BT
AFSANA AHMED Times News Network Keeping a low profile:
My world centres around my family, a few close friends and work. I lead a simple life. If you don’t see me at parties, that’s because I party when I am on the sets with my unit. It’s so much fun. My work speaks for me.
On her alleged romantic links with Govinda and others:
I don’t want to react to certain link ups, because it doesn’t merit a response. When the rumours get unhealthy, I get upset. Families are affected. It’s disgusting. Anyway I have been linked with so many men. But I have my head firmly on my shoulders and I know how the industry works.
Fatal attraction? Only natural:
Being attracted to your co-stars is natural and easy, given the fact that you work closely for days together. You get attached and the chemistry shows on screen. Having said this, it’s not necessary that you have to be attracted. I’ve done films with people I didn’t like.
All work...
I am in a good phase, careerwise. I have signed Karan Johar’s next film, and Shah Rukh Khan’s next home production to be directed by Amol Palekar. I’m also doing Yashraj Production’s next film directed by Shaad Ali with Abhishek Bachchan. So next year, I will have six releases.
Destiny’s child? Hmmm....
People say I am lucky to be working with big directors and banners. I agree there’s a strong luck factor, but my work itself cannot be negated. If I were a bad actress, nobody would have cast me. They do, because they know I will give them my full commitment. I have struggled in my own way. It’s not like I am a newcomer who’s just stepped in and getting to work with the top directors. I have been in the industry for ten years now.
Finding Mr Right:
I am single and dying to fall in love. I’ve a certain image of my ideal man, and the men I have met haven’t come close to it. Otherwise I would have immediately married him. I don’t want to work all my life. I want to start a family when I find Mr Right.
