“Thirty years ago, I stepped onto a film set with no grand plan of becoming an actress. It wasn’t a dream I chased – it was something that found me,” Mukerji wrote. “A young girl, drawn into cinema almost by chance, hesitant at first… and yet, somewhere between instinct and vulnerability, I fell in love with the craft.”
In her letter, Mukerji elaborated on the emotional connection she has with cinema. “Somewhere inside me, I am still that nervous girl standing in front of the camera for the first time, hoping I wouldn’t forget my lines, hoping I belonged,” she shared. “I didn’t come into films with a master plan. I came with curiosity, fear, and a deep love for stories, for the exploration of the human mind through characters.”
Her reflections reveal a deep-seated passion for storytelling and an enduring connection to her roots as an actress. Mukerji’s journey in Bollywood has been marked by significant achievements, yet she remains grounded in her initial feelings of uncertainty and excitement.
As she celebrates this milestone, Mukerji continues to inspire both her peers and aspiring actors with her authenticity and dedication to her craft. Her journey serves as a reminder of the transformative power of cinema and the personal growth that comes with it.
According to IANS, Mukerji’s heartfelt message resonates with many who have followed her career, highlighting the importance of staying true to oneself amidst the glitz and glamour of the film industry.
