New Delhi, Jan 31 (NationPress) From depicting a rape survivor in her inaugural film Raja Ki Aayegi Baaraat to representing resilient women confronting social injustice in Mehendi, a teacher with Tourette syndrome, a courageous police officer in Mardaani, and a mother who challenges an entire nation for her children in Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway, Rani Mukerji has consistently delivered narratives of strength and bravery to the cinema.

The Bollywood icon claims she consciously strives to portray Indian women in the most favorable light through her role selections.

“Since my debut in the industry, I have always aimed to depict Indian women in the best possible light. Be it journalists, police officers, teachers, or homemakers, they are the genuine heroes, the true Mardaanis. I aspire to demonstrate to the global audience how remarkable and empowered Indian women are,” Rani shared with IANS.

She believes that the empowerment of women is intrinsically connected to the nation's strength, which is why her film selections have consistently reflected this conviction.

“When Indian women are empowered, only then can our nation genuinely become strong. That is why my choices have always mirrored this belief,” she continued.

Rani underscored that every Indian woman embodies a unique strength.

“I strive to always portray Indian women in the best light. I wish to highlight how special Indian women are, as each one possesses a superpower within her, whether she is a homemaker, a teacher, a journalist, or a police officer.”

“I believe they fulfill their responsibilities beautifully, managing their family lives with elegance, and that is the most inspiring aspect of women in uniform and those in powerful positions,” the actress remarked.

She elaborated on women who navigate daily life with resilience, continuing to persevere despite the obstacles they encounter.

“These women go about their daily routines carrying immense strength within them, pushing through despite all the challenges they face,” the National Award-winning actress stated.

As an Indian woman, Rani expressed that it is crucial for her to depict what real Mardaanis and authentic heroes truly embody.

“As an Indian woman, it is vital for me to showcase what real Mardaanis and true heroes are like, as I draw deep inspiration from all of them. Every character I’ve portrayed has inspired me,” she added.

Discussing her roles, the actress mentioned that she draws motivation from every character she has played. She pointed to Debika from Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway as a powerful figure who fights against an entire nation to reunite with her children.

“These are strong, empowered women who inspire future generations. As an artist, my role is to bring them to life so that millions around the globe can witness their stories,” Rani concluded.
