No
doubt
Rani
Mukherjee,
tinselville"s
queen
bee,
has
seen
a
lot
of
ups
and
downs,
highs
and
lows
in
her
career
right
from
her
debut
film
Salim
Aftab"s
Raja
Ki
Aayegi
Baraat
to
her
last
release
Yash
Raj
film"s
Dil
Bole
Haddippa,
after
having
overcome
all
the
hazards
and
the
hurdles
of
her
personal
life
too.
Needless
to
add
that
she
has
come
out
unscathed,
but
not
unhurt!
Yet
one
fails
to
notice
any
traceable
scars
of
the
same
on
her
ever
-
smiling
countenance.
So
full
of
beans
and
tinged
with
laughter,
mademoiselle
Rani
Mukherjee
just
freaked
out
while
dissecting
her
favourite
past
time,
her
leisure
time
queries
endowed
with
her
own
brand
of
Bengali
sense
of
humour.
This
correspondent
caught
up
with
the
bong
babe
Rani
Mukherjee
in
a
surprise
encounter.
Describe
a
typical
leisure
day
in
your
over
busy
schedule
and
hectic
life?
Believe
me
I
make
my
family
go
bonkers
on
my
typical
leisure
day.
As
I
eat
their
brains
more
than
my
breakfast,
lunch
or
dinner.
I
behave
like
a
typical
brat,
making
my
mom
go
wild
and
wild,
running
around
in
circles
with
a
stick
in
hand
until
she
is
totally
exhausted.
The
poor
lady
tries
her
best
to
please
me,
but
the
prankster
that
I
am,
I
literally
make
life
hell
for
her
and
then
of
course
I
make
up
for
my
mischievous
behaviour
in
the
evening
by
doing
everything
for
her
that
pleases
her
no
end.
And
that
is
either
by
cooking
her
favourite
dish
of
Maacher
Jhol
at
home
or
taking
her
out
for,
believe
it
or
fall
dead,
a
candle
light
dinner
for
just
the
two
of
us.
What
is
your
idea
of
unwinding,
de-stressing
and
relaxing
in
your
leisure
time?
The
word
'relaxation" is
certainly
not
a
part
of
my
Bengali
dictionary.
You
see
I
don"t
believe
in
endorsing
the
Oxford
dictionary.
But
jokes
apart
I
am
such
a
restless
creature
'Main
ek
minute
ke
liye
bhi
chain
se
nahin
baith
sakti
hoon".
And
you
really
want
to
know
how
I
de-stress
myself?
Simple!
By
giving
tension
to
others!
As
in
this
regard
my
formulaic
belief
is
that
'Tension
lene
ka
nahin,
tension
dene
ka
kya!"
But
yes
when
sometimes
I
really
feel
like
unwinding
myself
then
I
definitely
prefer
going
away
on
a
long
drive
all
alone
or
else
I
also
prefer
to
hide
myself
in
a
solitary
corner
of
a
deserted
beach
or
an
unfrequented
seaside.
Do
you
have
any
specific
and
a
favourite
place
to
hang
out
and
spend
time
with
your
closest
friends
on
a
weekend?
Actually
speaking
I
love
going
to
pubs
and
discotheques
with
my
friends
on
a
weekend.
No
specific
choice,
Koi
bhi
chalta
hai
yaar!
But
more
than
that,
we
all
have
even
greater
fun
in
some
or
the
other
friend"s
house
by
partying
hard
and
letting
our
hair
down
or
just
by
freaking
out
without
a
care
in
the
world
till
the
wee
hours
of
the
morning.
Are
there
any
special
interests
that
you
pursue
in
your
leisure
time?
Can
you
beat
it?
I
spend
all
my
spare
time
in
devising
brand
new
strategies
of
playing
pranks
not
only
on
my
family
members
but
also
my
co
-
stars,
my
unit
hands,
my
friends
and
sometimes
even
my
fans.
I
know
I
have
to
get
serious
in
life
someday,
but
'jaldi
kya
hai
kabhie
na
kabhi
ho
jaaoongi
serious
yaar".
Do
you
really
feel
like
spending
a
lot
of
money
on
yourself
in
your
leisure
time?
And
then
do
you
feel
guilty
later
on
thinking
of
the
entire
sum
spent
on
pampering
yourself?
Now
this
is
one
area
where
I
am
really
serious
as
I
just
love
to
indulge
in
pampering,
with
gifts
galore,
not
only
for
my
kith
and
kin
but
also
my
entire
khandaan,
my
friends,
my
co
-
stars
but
certainly
not
my
fans.
Come
on
be
sensible
how
can
I
please
and
pamper
millions
and
millions
of
them.
'Mujhe
apna
diwala
nikalna
hai
kya?" So
you
see
when
I
travel
abroad
I
go
with
one
suitcase
and
come
back
with
the
amount
of
luggage
that
the
whole
Indian
army
would
fail
to
cart.
And
then
would
you
please
be
kind
enough
to
tell
me
why
should
I
feel
guilty
about
it?
'Kyoonki
whatever
I
earn,
mujhe
apni
sasural
mein
thode
hi
le
jana
hai."
Yet
sometimes
I
become
really
sad
because
no
one
ever
seriously
thinks
of
pampering
me
yaar.
What
do
you
like
doing
best
in
your
leisure
time
and
why?
Does
it
mean
just
kicking
off
your
shoes
and
relaxing
or
doing
something
more
adventurous?
Have
you
gone
mad!
Why
should
I
kick
off
my
shoes?
'Koi
chura
le
jaayega
toh!
Okay!
Okay!
Jokes
apart!
In
my
leisure
time
I
really
love
to
help
my
mom
that
is
after
having
totally
harassed
her.
And
I
really
became
serious
since
my
mother
started
taking
my
tips
for
my
own
bridal
trousseau.
Yeah!
I
think
it"s
high
time
I
got
married
to
a
man
of
my
choice
and
of
course
my
best
friend.
No,
I
won"t
tell
you
his
name
as
yet
but
all
of
you
can
keep
guessing.
Anyway
my
mom
is
after
my
bridal
preparation
since
I
was
that
high.
On
the
other
hand
I
keep
telling
her
that
I
would
love
to
be
adventurous.
Yeah!
I
always
tell
her
'Main
sher
ka
shikar
karna
chahti
hoon!" But
instead
of
being
serious
about
it
she
just
retorts,
'Tu
sher
ka
shikar
kya
karegi,
sher
tujhe
hi
kha
jayega".
What
are
the
craziest
things
that
you
have
ever
done
in
your
leisure
time?
Now
that
was
really
crazy.
I
once
went
to
a
nearest
cinema
hall,
clad
in
a
burkhaa
{a
veil
worn
by
Muslim
women},
sat
with
the
frontbenchers
and
scared
the
daylights
out
of
them
by
unveiling
myself
during
the
intermission.
Now
it"s
an
altogether
different
story
that
I
had
to
run
for
my
own
life
once
they
had
came
out
of
their
own
dazedly
shocking
state.
And
now
finally
tell
us
something
more
about
your
leisure
time
like
how
do
you
spend
it
while
traveling
abroad
or
within
India?
I
love
travelling
abroad.
'Kya
Karoon?" All
my
directors
normally
picturise
all
my
songs
outside
only.
So
do
I
have
any
choice
left?
But
yes
I
do
make
it
a
point
to
travel
within
India
too
that
is
with
my
family
sometimes
mostly
coinciding
with
my
annual
holiday
or
sometimes
even
to
escape
from
the
Moviedom"s
humdrum
routine.
You
know
'Kabhie
kabhie
main
in
sabse
bahut
jyada
bore
ho
jaati
hoon"
just
as
I
am
bored
right
now
by
talking
so
much.
'Magar
kuch
alag
baatein
hui,
accha
laga,
okay
bye!
Ciao!
