Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji has shared candid insights into her experience of raising her young daughter, Adira, offering a glimpse into the realities of parenting a Gen Alpha child in a technology-driven age.

Rani Mukerji reveals she is “very scared” of Gen-Alpha daughter Adira: “She would slap me back”

In a conversation with Zoom, Mukerji spoke about how parenting today has its own set of challenges and learning curves. “She also fires me. She is Gen Alpha, so she fires me, and I have to listen to her. Because every generation changes. I used to get slaps from my mom. I can’t expect to do that with her because she would slap me back. She was jumping in the house while the National Awards were happening. It’s very sweet, but because she is an Alpha kid, I am very scared of her,” said the actress.

Mukerji further asserted, “After my dad (Ram Mukherjee) passed away, I really miss getting his feedback on my performance. It is tough, but God balances things. He gave me my daughter. She is extremely close to me, and she is extremely proud of me. My daughter has taken my father’s place. She is my biggest cheerleader today.”

Rani also revealed that Adira has not seen all her films as she continued, “Though she has not seen my films because she’s too attached and she feels sad when she sees me cry, she finds it difficult to watch me on screen. She likes to see me when I’m dancing and when I am happy on screen. She loves Hichki, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, and Bunty Aur Babli. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was tough for her to watch because, in the first scene, I die, so I couldn’t go beyond that.”

On the professional front, Mukerji is now gearing up for Mardaani 3, which is scheduled for release on January 30, 2025.
