Rani Mukherjee says 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna' was an eye-opener for many

Rani Mukherjee has played various roles in her career, but perhaps one of her most polarizing roles was for Karan Johar's Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, where she played Maya, who falls for a married man, which leads to her own divorce.

In a conversation with Galatta India in March 2024, the actress said that it’s one of her favorite films, and it also helped her marry the right person in real life. For the untold, the Mardani actress got married to director-producer Aditya Chopra.

Rani shared that there are many women who don’t open up in their marriages for a long time, and later on, they regret their decisions about not being honest with themselves. “So as a young girl at that point in time, when I did KANK, it also helped me to make the decision for my marriage that I needed to marry for the right reason. Because if you marry for the wrong reason, you will end up being with someone and suffering all your life," said Rani.

She added that she wasn't the only one who got a reality check through the film. “It was an eye opener for a lot of young girls, an eye opener for a lot of men, and an eye opener for a lot of people who were in marriages, and a lot of marriages broke after that because they went to the theater, and they were extremely uncomfortable watching the film because they were watching their lives, and it's not easy to watch a film that is actually depicting their own lives,” said Rani.

Speaking about KANK, it was released in 2006 and had superstars like Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta, Abhishek Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan, Kirron Kher, and, of course, Rani Mukherjee. Even though the film was considered a hit worldwide, it was a topic for discussion among the folks.
