‘Koffee With Karan’ 8: Rani Mukerji shares why she keeps daughter Adira away from public eye

The recent ‘Koffee with Karan’ episode featuring Rani Mukerji and Kajol was a whirlwind of joy! Their camaraderie, teasing of Karan Johar, and constant laughter created a lively show.

On the show, Rani shared heartfelt insights on protecting daughter Adira from the public eye despite the omnipresence of paparazzi.

When Karan Johar inquired about Rani's successful strategy of keeping her daughter shielded from the paparazzi, noting that there are no pictures of her anywhere. The actor humorously shared, ‘I simply tell them not to snap the baby's picture. They look into my eyes, and they get scared.’

She added, ‘Right from the time Adira was born, I have to thank all the paparazzi and all the media people; they really love me because they kind of respected that. They know how Adi (Aditya Chopra) is. It was our decision together that we didn't want Adira to be photographed because we have a different idea of how we want to raise Adira, so that she doesn't feel privileged or she doesn't feel very special at school, and she feels like any other kid. And she doesn't get any extra attention. That was something Adi and I wanted for her. That would only happen if she would not be photographed.’

Rani also shared that the first year she travelled with Adira outside the country was a significant moment. She requested the paparazzi, saying, ‘Please don't take pictures of the baby,’ and from that day forward, they respected her wishes.

Whenever she travels, photographers patiently wait until the little one safely enters the airport before snapping any photos.
