Mumbai, Jan 16 (NationPress) Renowned veteran Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji, celebrating three decades in the film industry, candidly discussed her experiences with the “Mardaani” series and the motivation behind her audacious character, Shivani Shivaji Roy.

“I’ve experienced how isolating bravery can feel,” Rani remarked, contemplating the hardships and commitment of individuals in uniform.

“Shivani Shivaji Roy is not merely a role I turn off once the camera stops rolling. I embody her. Through her, I’ve understood the essence of service. I've grasped how lonely courage can truly be,” Rani expressed.

She continued, “I hold enormous admiration for the police officers of our nation who show up daily—quietly, without complaints, without accolades, serving our nation and safeguarding us in silence. The Mardaani series is my tribute to them, and it fills me with joy and pride to witness the affection my fellow countrymen have for the police force.”

With the overwhelming enthusiasm surrounding her performance in the third chapter of Mardaani, she dedicates this moment to the Indian police force, stating, “To my brothers and sisters in the police force, especially the women, who often face more judgment, more scrutiny, yet consistently rise above fear, this film is for you.”

“This film serves as a celebration of the entire police force, particularly the female officers who lead with resilience, kindness, and unwavering integrity.”

Rani noted that the enthusiastic reception of the trailer signifies that, as a nation, we are prepared to voice our concerns against social injustices.

She remarked, “The incredible response and affection for the Mardaani 3 trailer indicates that we, as a country, possess a strong moral compass. We still react with anger when faced with wrongdoing and feel pride when individuals stand up to defend the vulnerable. Thank you for holding Mardaani 3 so dearly.”

Rani stated that Mardaani transcends being a mere franchise for her.

“Shivani Shivaji Roy resides in my heart. Through her, I’ve witnessed a quiet courage, strength that seeks no applause, and bravery that comes at a deep personal cost, which inspires me greatly.”

“Mardaani has always represented more than just a film for me—it embodies a feeling, a responsibility. It is profoundly humbling to receive such an abundance of love for a film and a franchise that is ingrained in my existence and has shaped my cinematic journey.”

Directed by Abhiraj Minawala, Mardaani 3 explores another grim and harsh truth of our society, further enhancing the franchise’s legacy of impactful and issue-based narratives. Mardaani 3 is set to premiere in theaters globally on January 30.
