Rani Mukerji opens up on her weight fluctuations in Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway, reveals it ‘was a challenge’ – Times of India

In a recent interview, Rani spoke about her fluctuating weight in the movie and how they had to keep it authentic. “I think that was the beauty that I wanted to capture with the film, because she is a mother who had just delivered five months back and I needed to look like that. Today, young mothers have so much help. When they are in India, they have diets and they have exercise, and they have so many things that help them get back to shape very quickly. But a mother who’s working alone, living abroad, she doesn’t have that many resources to be able to come back to her original form,” she told IndiaToday.in.

She further added that gaining and losing weight was an ordeal, but she still had to do it. She said, “In the film, if you see, her weight also kind of changes throughout different phases. So for me, it was difficult to first put on weight and then start reducing it. It was a challenge, but I had to do it for the film.”

Many Bollywood celebs like Vicky Kaushal-Katrina Kaif, Rekha and others have been showering love on the movie. Recently, Rani’s close friend and co-star in many movies, superstar Shah Rukh Khan also took to his twitter handle to shower love on the movie. He wrote, “What a tremendous effort by the whole team of Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway. My Rani shines in the central role as only a Queen can. Director Ashima, shows a human struggle with such sensitivity. Jim, @AnirbanSpeaketh, #Namit, #SaumyaMukherjee, #BalajiGauri all shine. A must watch.”
