  • Rani Mukerji celebrates 30 years in cinema with a special YRF-hosted event
  • Karan Johar read a touching letter from Rani's daughter Adira at the celebration.
  • Mardaani 3 starring Rani Mukerji is set to release worldwide on January 30, 2026

Actress Rani Mukerji, who is gearing up for the release of her cop drama Mardaani 3, recently completed 30 years in the industry. To mark the special occasion, Yash Raj Films hosted a special afternoon and Rani was seen with her friend and director Karan Johar.

Karan Johar, who also hosted the afternoon for his friend, read out a handwritten letter penned by Rani Mukerji’s daughter, Adira, addressed to her “Mamma”.

Karan read out the handwritten letter, which Adira wrote on Rani’s milestone year in cinema.

In the viral video, Karan read the note slowly, letting the simplest lines land the hardest. Adira calls her mother “the best mother in the world”, lists the things she loves, the things she does not, and even points out what she thinks she has inherited. The internet, predictably, melted at the mix of affection and brutal accuracy that only kids can deliver.

Here is the full letter as read out:

“Hello Mama, first of all I just want to say how much I love you. You are the best mother in the world. We have shared countless memories together, joyful, tearful and of course funny.

There are some qualities I like about you, some qualities I don’t and some qualities I have inherited from you. Some qualities I have got from you are my acting, dancing and painting skills. One quality I don’t like about you but have got from you is your short temper.

We might be a bit different like how you like bold colours and I like pastel. But at the same time we are quite similar in many ways. Like our looks, she is gorgeous, that’s mine. Traits, habits and skills.

There are also some qualities that I have but you don’t have like my school math skills. When I grew up I grew up to be kind, confident, loving, intelligent and stylish just like you.

Setting everything aside, we are of the same blood. We are mother and daughter and will have an everlasting bond forever. I love you so much Mama.

Love, your favourite, your beloved daughter Adira.”

As the clip spreads, fans are also linking it to the timing of Mardaani 3, which is scheduled to release in theatres worldwide on January 30, 2026.
