Reflecting on her role, she shared how the story of an Indian immigrant mother profoundly resonated with her. Rani remarked, “A mother’s love for her child is unconditional. I used to believe that unconditional love was a myth until I experienced it myself. A mother’s love knows no law and no pity; it dares all things and crushes anything that stands in its way. No one can come between a mother and her child.”

In a heartfelt moment, she dedicated her award to all mothers, stating, “Mothers can move mountains for their children and make the world a better place.”

You’ve embraced every role, every character, every story I’ve had the good fortune to bring to life. Your belief in me drives me to work harder and strive for excellence. Moments like this are possible because of your prayers. Thank you for always being there and for giving Mrs. Chatterjee a chance in theaters when everything else seemed gloomy. I share this honor with you today!”

With her powerful words and moving tribute to mothers everywhere, Rani Mukerji has not only won an award but also captured the hearts of many, celebrating the strength and love that mothers embody.
