Intermittent work (2020–present)[edit]

In 2021, Mukerji reprised her part as Babli from Bunty Aur Babli in the successor Bunty Aur Babli 2. A commercial and critical failure,[170] the film was
panned for its technical aspects but Mukerji's performance and comic timing were better received by reviewers for Hindustan Times and The Times of
India.[171][172] Mukerji next starred in Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway (2023), a drama about a real-life Bengali woman whose children were taken away by
the Norwegian Child Welfare Services.[173][174] It marked her first project in a decade to not be produced by Yash Raj Films.[175] She based her character's
diction and mannerisms on her own mother.[176] Reviewing the film for Screen Daily, Namrata Joshi dismissed its melodramatic tone, adding that "most
disappointing is an otherwise reliable Mukherji being far from effective in her shrill and showy turn".[177] Made on a shoestring budget, it emerged as
a sleeper hit.[178][179] She won her third Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress for her performance (shared with Shefali Shah for Three of Us).[180]

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 approachable."[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 extremely important for [a mother] to have a career and use her
time constructively".[191] In 2023, she revealed that she had a miscarriage in 2020, five months into her second pregnancy.[192]

Off-screen work[edit]
Stage shows and other appearances[edit]
Mukerji has participated in several concert tours and televised award ceremonies. Her first concert tour, "Magnificent Five", was in 1999 in which she
performed with actors Aamir Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Akshaye Khanna and Twinkle Khanna.[193] The "Temptations 2004" concert had Mukerji perform
alongside Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Preity Zinta, Arjun Rampal and Priyanka Chopra in 19 stage shows worldwide.[194] The following year, she
participated in the "Temptations 2005" concert in New Delhi with Shah Rukh Khan, Fardeen Khan, Ameesha Patel and Malaika Arora Khan; the show
was organised to help raise funds for the National Centre For Promotion of Employment for Disabled People (NCPEDP).[195]

Mukerji at an event in 2015

In 2010, Mukerji performed at a concert in the Army Stadium of Dhaka, Bangladesh with several Bollywood actors including Shah Rukh Khan, Rampal
and Ishaa Koppikar.[196] For the "Temptations Reloaded" concert of 2012 in Jakarta, Mukerji performed alongside Shah Rukh Khan, Zinta and Bipasha
Basu, for the 2013 concert of the same name in Auckland, she performed with Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit and Jacqueline Fernandez, and in 2014
she performed in Malaysia with Shah Rukh Khan, Dixit, Yo Yo Honey Singh and Arijit Singh.[197][198][199]

Mukerji was all set to make her appearance at Cannes Film Festival, 2011 with Sabyasachi Mukherjee and Karan Johar, but later opted out due to her
father's ill health.[200][201] She has also been part of documentaries including Bollywood im Alpenrausch, Gambling, Gods and LSD and The Outer World
of Shah Rukh Khan.[202][203][204] In addition, Mukerji has often turned muse for various designers including Sabyasachi at the Lakme Fashion Week.[205] She
walked ramp for Salman Khan's Being Human's fantastic 40s era fashion during "The Couture for a Cause - The Being Human Show" in 2010.[206]

Humanitarian work[edit]
Alongside her acting career, Mukerji is involved with humanitarian causes and is vocal about issues faced by women and children.[18][207] Mukerji was
appointed as an ambassador by Procter & Gamble and the NGO Child Rights and You for their joint venture, Shiksha, to endorse the cause of
children's education.[207] In 2011 she set up a Stroke Treatment Fund, in association with the Indian Stroke Association, to pay for the treatment of
financially deprived stroke-affected patients.[208] She has made public appearances to support other charities and causes. In March 2004, she visited the
Indian army unit in Pokhran, Rajasthan to interact with the jawan troops, for the NDTV reality show Jai Jawan.[209] A decade later, in August 2014, she
visited the jawans again at Baramulla.[210] In February 2005, Mukerji and several other Bollywood actors participated in the 2005 HELP! Telethon
Concert to raise money for the victims of the 2004 Indian Oc
