MUMBAI: Actor Rani Mukerji on Monday said she has slapped people who tried to misbehave with her during her growing up years.
The actor recently reprised her role of police officer Shivani Shivaji Roy in Gopi Puthran-directed “Mardaani 2”, sequel to 2014’s “Mardaani”.
When asked how did she defend herself from people who behaved inappropriately with her during her growing up years, Rani told reporters, “I have straight up slapped. I’ve grown up looking up to Durga. So whenever something like this happened with me as a child, I’ve slapped. I’ve slapped many, there’s no count.”
The actor was speaking at a special event of the film. Produced by Aditya Chopra, the film hit the theatres last Friday and Rani said she is overwhelmed with the reactions.
“The response has been great. I’m extremely happy that our aim of ‘naari shakti’ has reached across so many women of the country. The fact that girls are coming out of the theatres and feeling empowered is the best, most heartening response,” she added.
“Mardaani 2” aims to draw attention towards rape crimes committed by juveniles. (AGENCIES)
