PAMELA
CHOPRA
ON
HER
DAUGHTER-IN-LAW
RANI
MUKERJI'S
DECISION
TO
WORK
AFTER
MARRIAGE
From
SRK
to
Deepika
Padukone,
to
Shraddha
Kapoor,
friends
and
family
members
visited
Aditya
Chopra's
Juhu
home
to
be
with
the
family
during
the
time
of
crisis.
For
the
unversed,
Bollywood
actress
Rani
Mukerji
is
married
to
Pamela's
elder
son,
Aditya
Chopra.
Rani
shared
a
very
close
bond
with
Pamela
and
was
like
a
mother
figure
to
the
actress.
Pamela
has
been
a
supportive
mother-in-law
to
Rani
Mukerji.
Their
relationship
dates
back
to
the
times
as
Rani
had
worked
with
Yash
Chopra
in
several
movies.
In
an
old
interview
with
Rediff,
Pamela
Chopra
was
asked
about
Rani
breaking
the
tradition
of
her
family's
women
not
working
after
marriage.
Addressing
Rani's
decision
to
work
even
after
her
marriage
with
Aditya,
Pamela
had
said,
"I
don't
have
any
problem
with
that.
There
was
a
tradition
in
the
Chopra
family
that
the
Chopra
women
don't
act
or
go
on
the
sets.
But
in
the
face
of
love,
you
don't
make
such
stupid
distinctions".
PAMELA
CHOPRA
ON
RANI
MUKERJI
BEING
THE
PERFECT
WIFE
TO
SON
ADITYA
CHOPRA
In
the
same
interviews,
Pamela
had
said
that
Rani
was
the
kind
of
bahu
she
always
wanted
for
her
son
Aditya.
Calling
Mukerji
the
best
for
her
son,
Pamlea
said,
"I
don't
know
about
that.
I
can
tell
you
that
she
is
the
perfect
wife
for
Adi.
Adi
is
a
different
person
these
days.
He
is
so
happy,
always
smiling.
When
he
was
younger,
he
would
sing
walking
up
the
stairs;
he
has
started
doing
that
again.
He
danced
at
his
wedding!
(laughs).
She
has
changed
him
for
the
better.
And
if
he
is
happy,
why
should
I
not
be
happy?"
