Rani Mukerji on pap culture, says, ''I'm Adira's paparazzi, I'm constantly clicking her"
"I can't not like the paparazzi because I'm one myself for my daughter," said Rani Mukerji talking about the paparazzi culture in India with respect to Adira.
Rani Mukerji who has always kept her personal life closed for the paparazzi spoke about the culture of clicking star kids. In an interview with an entertainment portal, Mardaani actress spoke about how she protects her daughter Adira from the pap culture in India. She said she is Adira's paparazzi and she is constantly clicking her. She confesses that she is with the camera constantly.
"So, I can't not like the paparazzi because I'm one myself for my daughter," Rani told the portal. She further said that it is a personal decision of parents when they decide to talk about their kids. For Rani and her husband Aditya Chopra, it was set straight from the beginning that their daughter will have a normal upbringing and, "that can only happen when the attention is not completely focussed on her and she isn't in the limelight," Rani was quoted.
She concluded by saying that she tries as much as she can to protect her daughter from all the spotlight. She said that she agrees Adira is automatically a known person because of her known parents. "That becomes an advantage or a disadvantage that goes with it. But still, as much as we can, we try. I hope I try and protect her as much as I can," she said.
