Rani Mukerji expressed that she missing coming together of her entire family under one roof to celebrate Durga Puja. She also shared that her family loves to do things associated with the Durga Puja like feed people and more. But this year, nothing as such is possible. Talking about it, Rani was quoted as saying, "I think what we are missing the most is the fact that once a year all the family members come together under one roof, but this year that is not going to happen. We also enjoy feeding so many people who come to visit our puja with our own hands. I think there is so much that has happened this year that to let go of one year of celebration is the most sensible decision that the family and the puja committee members have taken. We look forward to doing it next year once everything is better."
Talking about her plans to celebrate a low-key pujo at home, Rani said, "I will definitely be doing a small puja in my house, as my daughter is still very young, and I want to keep the tradition alive. So, I am going to do the Kanjak Puja on Ashtami, which I do every year. I have got new clothes made for my daughter, Adira, and I am sure that I will find a new sari for myself in my closet."
