Speaking about motherhood, Rani Mukerji told Kareena Kapoor Khan, “I think what happens to women when they become mothers is that there's something in us that changes immediately. The minute you see that baby out of your system and you look at that baby's face and it's like you suddenly realize that you're not important anymore, there's somebody else more important than you and it's the first time in your life you realize that we love somebody more than ourselves”.

But, luckily with God's grace, all the parameters that a baby needs to do Adhira just ticked in”. Rani also added that, when she was going to shoot for the first time after delivering Adhira, she said that she began to howl because, t was the first time that she left her 14 month old baby at home. She also said that, she was at home when Adhira took her first steps.”
