This actress rejected a film after giving flop, director locked her parents until she agreed, now she’s daughter-in-law of that same house, her name is…

Rani Mukerji has worked with some of the biggest stars and filmmakers. One of them includes the legendary Yash Chopra, with whom she has collaborated on several projects and is married to his son, director-cum-producer Aditya Chopra. Interestingly, Rani once shared a fun story about how Yash Chopra locked her parents in his office? Yes you heard that right! It was because she was turning down ever film offer that came to her.

Why Yash Chopra locked Rani Mukerji’s parents in a room?

In an interview, Rani Mukerji revealed that after the failure of Mujhse Dosti Karogi, she began rejecting film offers and withdrew from the industry. She was in a challenging phase and shared how critics had declared that her career was over. While speaking to News 18, Rani shared, “A lot of film critics and magazines had written me off and they said ‘her career’s over’ and I was okay with that. I was like probably they are right but I’m not going to give up. I’m going to take up something that my heart believes in. Then luckily Saathiya came along and I remember Yash’s (Chopra) uncle calling my parents to the office.”

The Hum Tum actress further added, “My parents had gone to tell Yash’s uncle that ‘Rani is not interested in doing this film’. He called me up and said, ‘Beta, you’re making a very big mistake. I’m locking the door of my room and I’m not letting your parents out till you say yes to the film’. And I thank him for that.”

Luckily, Saathiya turned out to be one of the biggest hits in Rani Mukerji’s career. Directed by Shaad Ali and produced by Yash Raj Films, the film featured Vivek Oberoi in lead alongside Rani Mukerji. Made in a budget of Rs 7.5 crore, the film went on to earn Rs 25 crore worldwide, earning three times more than its production.
