Coming to her personal life, it was on April 21, 2014, when she tied the forever knot with the love of her life, Aditya Chopra. The filmmaker-actress duo is then blessed with a princess on December 9, 2015, whom they lovingly call Adira. Moreover, the doting parents opted for a no-picture policy for their daughter.

"So I was so completely immersed in my role of motherhood that my husband nodded and nudged me and said 'Hello, you are Rani Mukerji you need to go back to the arch lights. You can't do this. Your child is born. She will grow up. She will have her own life. But you cannot forget who you are. You fans are waiting for you so you need to go back to work."
