Speaking exclusively to ANI, Rani revealed why she and Aditya decided to keep their wedding a hush-hush affair back then. The actress shared, “My husband is a very private person and I think he wanted the wedding to be very private. So obviously I don`t think he`ll ever want the wedding pictures to be out.”
She was jokingly asked if the audience would have to wait until their silver jubilee to finally see the wedding pictures. to which Rani laughed and quipped, “Maybe! Actually, that`s a very good idea.”
Similarly, opening up about keeping her personal life separate from her film career, the National Award-winning actress explained, “I think I was always private because my work life is different, my personal life is different. If you`ve seen me through the years, I think I only make like appearances when there is a reason for it. It`s not always all the time.”
She further added,” I do think that there are certain things that you need to keep to yourself because you need to protect your environment slightly because everything can`t be for everyone to see because we`re already so exposed so that exposure is enough, I feel. There are certain things that you need to keep private to yourself, especially where you`re going, what you`re doing, what you`re doing with your family. I think that is a little something that you should protect.”

During the same conversation, Rani shared her philosophy behind keeping Adira`s life private and away from the pressures of being a celebrity kid. “I am always private. My work life is different, my personal life is different. If you have seen through the years, I have made appearances only for the reason, not all the time, because certain things you need to keep to yourself, because you have to protect your environment. Everything can`t be for everyone to see because you are already so exposed, and that exposure is enough,” she added.
The actor added that she and her husband, filmmaker Aditya Chopra, both believe in keeping their life private. “We both have the same philosophy,” said Rani. “We had the same philosophy for our daughter also. We didn`t want her to ever be in a situation where she`s overexposed, and that she should feel that there`s anything special going on with her… She should have a very normal life, you know. Not that there are people looking at her and recognising her,” Rani revealed.
Mukerji further revealed that when Adira chooses a profession, her recognition should be earned through her own merit, saying, “Whatever she earns, her recognition will be earned through her, through her merit. She doesn`t earn the recognition because she has famous parents. So she should earn that herself. It should not come to her taken for granted.”
