She
is
the
queen
bee
of
Hindi
Cinema.
A
distinguished
actress,
a
tremendous
performer
and
a
very
hard
working
professional,
that"s
Rani
Mukherjee.
She
has
achieved
a
lot
in
life
yet
she
approaches
every
film
with
the
same
childlike
intensity.
In
her
search
for
new
challenges,
she
heard
the
script
of
Pardeep
Sarkar"s
Laaga
Chunari
Mein
Daag
and
decided
to
go
ahead
with
it.
In
this
experience
she
excitedly
discusses
what
all
went
behind
making
a
film
like
Laaga…Her
thoughts
on
fashion
designer
Sabyasachi
are
something
to
be
taken
note
for
the
costumes
of
this
film
have
earned
loads
of
appreciation
from
all
quarters.
But
let"s
start
with
the
music
that
she
is
so
enamored
with...
What
do
you
think
about
the
music
of
Laaga
Chunari
Mein
Daag?
Like
every
other
actor
would
kind
of
be
biased
towards
the
music
of
their
own
film,
similarly
I
am
also
quite
biased
towards
the
music
of
Laaga
Chunari
Mein
Daag
because
I
would
say
the
music
is
different.
There
are
different
kind
of
songs
in
the
film
which
go
with
the
story
as
much
as
you
will
not
enjoy
the
song
in
the
audio
you
will
enjoy
it
in
the
film
because
every
song
from
'Hum
Toh
Aise
Hain
Bhaiya" which
is
a
very
character
based
song
where
we
introduce
both
the
sisters
in
the
film
myself
and
Konkana
and
how
these
two
sisters
are
in
their
city
of
Benaras,
their
lives,
how
mischievous
they
are
and
basically
their
love
for
one
and
other
and
for
the
family
and
how
Jaya
Bachchan
and
Anupam
Kher"s
character
gets
introduced
in
the
film.
So
I
think
that"s
a
very
character
based
song,
it"s
a
very
energetic,
cheerful
and
a
very
happy
song
and
I
really
like
it
because
I
like
the
words
'Hum
Toh
Aise
Hain
Bhaiya".
And
it
sounds
really
nice
then
we
have
'Kachchi
Kaliyaan"
which
is
a
UP
folk
and
rap
mix
so
it
sounds
quite
strange
but
that"s
the
beauty
of
this
song.
When
I
heard
it
first
and
I
asked
Dada
what
is
this
song,
so
at
first
when
you
hear
'Kachi
Kaliyan"
you
will
get
a
bit
confused
about
what
the
song
is
all
about
and
then
later
on
you
realize
that
there
is
a
bit
of
UP
folk
with
a
little
rap
that"s
what
the
song
is.
Then
of
course,
there
is
Laaga
Chunari
Mein
Daag,
the
tile
track,
which
I
think,
is
absolutely
stunning
the
way
Shubha
Mudgal
has
sung
it.
The
words
are
really
nice
in
the
song
they
go
really
well
with
the
character
Natasha
in
the
film
and
it
kind
of
describes
what
Natasha"s
character
is
going
through
in
her
mind
at
that
point
of
time
and
what
she
has
been
through.
The
song
describes
her
mental
state,
so
I
think
that
it"s
beautifully
written
and
the
way
they
have
orchestrated
the
song
is
really
interesting
with
the
whole
Laaga
Chunari
Mein
Daag
coming
in
bits,
it"s
very
beautiful
and
symbolic
to
the
story.
Then
of
course
there
is
'Zara
Gungunalein
Chalo"
which
is
a
soft,
melodious
number
that
takes
the
story
forward
because
the
two
characters
mine
and
Abhishek"s
become
friends
in
the
song.
So,
it"s
a
song
which
kind
of
helps
their
story
progress
in
the
film
so
again
it"s
a
very
script
driven
song
but
yet
it"s
very
melodious.
Then
there
is
'Ek
Theekhi
Theekhi
Si
Ladki",
which
is
picturized
on
Kunal
and
Konkana,
which
kind
of
describes
Konkana,
the
girl
she
is
in
the
film
and
Kunal
the
way
he
is
in
the
film.
So,
I
think
it"s
a
very
contemporary
number
and
its
shot
in
a
very
modern
way
which
is
why
I
like
the
song
very
much
because
it"s
not
conventionally
shot.
Which
is
your
favourite
track
in
Laaga
Chunari
Mein
Daag?
I
wouldn"t
say
that
I
have
any
favourite
number
in
the
film
but
I
would
say
'Hum
Toh
Aise
Hain
Bhaiya" because
that"s
the
song
with
which
we
started
the
film.
It
was
a
lot
of
fun
shooting
that
song
and
I
have
a
lot
of
memories
of
it.
And
there
is
another
favorite
track
of
mine,
Laaga
Chunari
Mein
Daag,
the
title
track
because
we
had
loads
of
fun
shooting
that
song
and
how
Sabyasachi
was
going
mad
doing
the
costumes.
I
remember
how
he
had
laid
some
fifty
shoes
in
my
make
up
room
and
got
some
hundred
costumes
for
that
song.
We
finally
used
probably
four
to
five
and
he
was
quite
disappointed.
Sabyasachi
and
I
tried
to
push
for
a
lot
of
costumes
in
this
song
and
Dada
kept
on
saying
we
want
to
shoot
the
whole
song
in
just
one
towel.
Sabyasachi
was
somewhat
shocked
because
he
had
arranged
for
so
many
clothes
for
this
song
and
we
finally
used
just
five
to
six.
I
think
these
two
tracks
will
be
my
favorite.
What
was
it
about
the
script
that
made
you
decide
to
do
this
film?
I
think
the
beauty
of
the
script
is
that
it
talks
about
a
strong
female
character
in
a
slightly
unconventional
way
because
she
takes
a
decision
at
a
point
in
her
life
where
it"s
really
important
for
her.
And
she
doesn"t
go
back
on
her
decision
and
she
isn"t
ashamed
of
what
she
is
doing,
the
very
fact
that
the
script
talks
about
the
eldest
daughter
trying
to
be
the
son
of
her
house
is
something
that
lot
of
girls
will
relate
to
because
every
elder
daughter
is
pressurized
to
be
the
son
of
the
house.
And
Natasha"s
character
is
in
terms
of
what
she
does
just
to
prove
a
point
to
her
parents
that
she
is
the
boy
of
the
house
and
the
kind
of
decision
she
takes
is
what
makes
the
film
very
interesting.
I
will
say
that
it
is
a
strong
female
character
with
an
unconventional
touch.
It
has
shades
of
grey,
which
is
what
interested
me
about
the
character
and
the
fact
that
she
is
not
ashamed
about
what
she
has
done.
It"s
something
that
she
has
accepted
and
goes
ahead
with.
And
she
is
not
apologetic
about
it
so
I
feel
that
is
the
strength
of
the
character
that
I
am
playing
in
the
film.
What
was
the
shooting
experience
like?
In
the
film,
you
will
see
a
beautiful
graph
where
the
film
starts
in
Benaras
goes
into
Bombay,
then
goes
into
Switzerland,
and
comes
back
to
Benaras.
The
journey
of
all
the
characters
right
from
Benaras
to
Bombay
to
Switzerland
and
how
different
they
look
when
they
come
back
to
Benaras.
But
in
the
same
setting
and
atmosphere
how
life
has
changed
for
them
especially
the
two
characters
'Badki" and
'Chutki"
which
is
played
by
me
and
Konkana
and
how
we
go
through
the
circle
especially
Natasha"s
character.
It
was
fun
shooting
everywhere
especially
our
first
schedule
in
Benaras.
We
were
shooting
in
this
Haveli
by
the
Ganga
Ghat,
it
is
so
relaxing
and
so
soothing.
The
sunsets
at
the
Ganga
Ghats
is
to
die
for,
so
we
use
to
look
forward
to
our
evenings
and
sit
by
the
Ganga
and
just
de-stress
ourselves.
Bombay
being
home,
it
was
very
comfortable
shooting
here
and
then
it
was
Switzerland,
it
being
one
of
my
favorite
places
in
the
world.
It
was
great
fun
shooting
there
because
I
went
to
Switzerland
almost
after
six
years.
It"s
as
beautiful
as
it
was
six
years
ago
and
all
your
worries
and
tensions
come
to
a
standstill
when
you
enter
Switzerland
because
it"s
so
peaceful
and
quite
and
so
beautiful
with
no
pollution
that
it
feels
wonderful.
Can
you
tell
us
something
about
your
look
in
the
film?
There
are
three
distinct
looks
in
the
film
for
me
and
I
could
not
have
done
that
without
my
designer
Sabyasachi
Mukherjee.
I
think
he
is
an
asset
to
the
film.
Sabyasachi
and
I
work
very
well
with
each
other
because
we
understand
each
other"s
mindset
and
for
me
I
just
have
to
explain
to
him
what
the
graph
is,
what
the
character
is,
where
the
character
has
emerged
from
and
Sabyasachi
knows
bang
on
what
I
want.
Especially
for
the
first
Benaras
look,
I
had
to
look
like
somebody
from
there,
so
designing
that
look
to
designing
my
look
when
I
become
Natasha
to
a
normal
look
for
Natasha,
there
are
two
different
looks
for
Natasha.
The
way
Sabyasachi
understood
the
characters
and
his
entire
input
on
the
way
the
make
up
should
be;
it
was
a
tremendous
help
for
me
to
have
someone
like
him
to
do
my
clothes.
