Rani Mukerji says Mardaani 3 was physically tough and emotionally draining, as it reflects real cases of missing girls. She believes that every director has added to the crime drama’s gritty world. She also dedicates the National Award victory to her late father, Ram Mukerji

Rani stood out in a heritage Sabyasachi saree, accessorized with a gold chain bearing her daughter Adira’s name, a symbolic tribute to motherhood that also tied into her film’s theme. She paired it with a choker and dangler earrings
