Rani
Mukerji
made
her
debut
on
this
day,
23
years
ago,
with
'Raja
Ki
Aayegi
Baraat'.
The
movie
is
special
to
her
for
many
reasons,
but
above
all,
because
her
father
watched
the
film,
almost
immediately
after
undergoing
a
bypass
surgery.
Rani's
father,
and
filmmaker,
the
late
Ram
Mukerji
had
a
bypass
surgery
scheduled
on
the
day
of
the
movie's
premiere.
When
he
gained
consciousness
afterwards,
the
first
thing
he
asked
was
the
movie
was
doing.
He
insisted
on
watching
the
movie
the
day
he
was
released,
and
he
was
in
tears
the
whole
time.
According
to
IANS,
Rani
said,
"My
most
memorable
memory
of
'Raja
Ki
Aayegi
Baraat'
was
the
day
it
released,
my
dad
had
a
bypass
operation.
He
was
admitted
in
Breach
Candy
and
was
not
willing
to
go
for
the
operation
because
he
wanted
to
wait
for
the
release
of
my
film.
I
told
him
at
that
point
it
was
very
crucial
that
he
should
get
the
surgery
done."
She
continued,
"He
went
in
for
the
surgery
and
then
he
was
unconscious
in
the
ICU
for
about
one
or
two
days,
and
when
he
recovered
and
regained
consciousness,
the
first
thing
he
asked
had
the
film
release
and
how
was
it
doing."
Talking
about
her
most
special
memory
about
the
movie,
she
said,
"I
remember
when
I
took
him
home
that
day,
he
insisted
on
going
to
Gaiety
Galaxy
to
watch
the
film
with
the
audience.
In
fact,
he
went
on
the
wheelchair
and,
as
he
watched
the
reactions,
he
wept
like
an
inconsolable
child.
That
is
a
memory
from
'Raja
Ki
Aayegi
Baraat'
that
I
will
never
forget
in
my
entire
life."
Rani
will
next
be
seen
in
'Mardaani
2',
directed
by
Gopi
Puthran.
It
is
scheduled
for
release
on
December
13.
