And what a performance Rani has given by putting her heart and soul into the character of Priya. She comments, "Acting should be done from the heart. You have to feel every given emotion, and perform with ease and sincerity." That is clearly seen by the tremendous success Chalte Chalte is having after only a week's time. Extra showings have been added to several venues in response to the mass appeal. It has been long awaited, but finally Rani's dreams have come true. One can see how much it touches her by the glowing expression on her face and the lilt in her voice when she talks about it. "It feels great!"
As an actress she is content. But there are no plans in the future to be anything else - say - director or producer. "Life for me is beautiful and enchanting." But with all this popularity, how does she keep from going on an ego trip? She says the credit is owed to her parents for constantly banging on her head to make sure it stays attached to her shoulders.
What does she see when she looks back on her career? "I'm happy with whatever progress I have made. I'm trying to live up to all the expectations of all my fans." And that, Rani certainly has done. We look with great anticipation to her forthcoming films, Chori Chori, and Calcutta Mail.
Any life philosophies for us Rani? "Keep smiling and spread the word of love, as it always grows!" |
