a heightened sense of smell who develops a one-sided attraction towards Prithviraj Sukumaran's character.

Critically and commercially unsuccessful,[137][138] Rediff.com criticised her decision to star in the film, writing
that she "gets no support from the way her character is written".[139] Greater success came for her portrayal
of Roshni Shekhawat, a mother grieving the death of her Personal life[edit]
Mukerji prefers not to publicise her personal life.[119] She limits her interactions with the media and is sometimes labelled a
recluse; she said in a 2011 interview, "Today actors have become more open with the media. But this has posed a problem for
actors like me because if I don't do that, then I end up being called reclusive. So now I have changed myself and am easily ap-
proachable."[181] Mukerji has collaborated frequently and maintained a close friendship with actors Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir
Khan, and filmmaker Karan Johar.[182][183] She does not have any social media accounts, as she prefers to keep a low profile.[184]
The nature of Mukerji's relationship with filmmaker Aditya Chopra was the topic of fervent tabloid reporting in India, though she
refused to publicly talk about it.[185][186] According to media reports, she and Chopra started dating soon after his divorce. "He was
just out of his divorce and I think he was in no mind to see someone," Rani had told in an interview.[187] On 21 April 2014, she
married Chopra at a private Bengali ceremony in Italy.[188] The following year, she gave birth to their daughter Adira.[189] She has
said that "the time spent being a mother is the happiest period of my life".[190] Mukerji has said that she believes in maintaining a
work-life balance after motherhood, adding that "it is ex

Following the birth of her child, Mukerji took a four-year hiatus to focus on her daughter and was persuaded by her husband,
Aditya Chopra, to return to acting.[157] She was keen to work on a project that would accommodate her parental commitments and
found it in the comedy-drama Hichki (2018).[158] Inspired by Brad Cohen's autobiography Front of the Class, the film tells the story
of Naina Mathur, an aspiring teacher suffering from Tourette syndrome who must prove herself by educating underprivileged
children.[159] Mukerji interacted with Cohen a

Aniruddha Guha of Daily News and Analysis described Mukerji's performance in the 2011 film No One Killed Jessica as "one of
her best performances till date".[130] Co-starring Vidya Balan, the film was Mukerji's first commercial success since Ta Ra Rum
Pum, and was especially noted for being so in the absence of a male star.[131][132] Based on the Jessica Lal murder case, it fea-
tured Mukerji as a fictionalised foul-mouthed journalist who is deeply involved with the case.[133] She has described how different
the role was from the ones she had previously played, saying, "I actually had to play a man!"[134] Certain critics, however, were
critical of her performance, including Anupama Chopra, who called her role "the fatal, false note", arguing that "the character is
written superficially and Rani's portrayal of her is equally banal. It's all about externals. She argues a lot and proudly labels her-

so, the role earned her a third Best Supporting Ac
