What if we told you that Rani Mukerji isn’t the only member of her family to feature in Mardaani 3? Few know that the actor’s niece, Myiesha Mukerji, served as the second assistant director on the cop actioner, which released on January 30.
It turns out when Abhiraj Minawala’s directorial venture was being set up, Myiesha, 19, expressed her desire to work on the project. Happy to see her niece taking baby steps in the film industry, Rani told mid-day, “Myiesha [worked] with the director on Mardaani 3. She is like my baby, and was the first baby of the house. Most pictures on the internet that people assume are Adira’s [her daughter], are in fact Myiesha’s. For her, working on the third part was a full journey as she also starred in Mardaani [2014] with me.”
