Never thought I fit into heroine category, says Rani Mukerji

Rani Mukerji says she never believed she could make it big on the silver screen because of the insecurities she had regarding her height and voice.

In a recent interview with India Today, the Bunty Aur Babli star said, “I never thought I fit into the heroine category in the typical sense. I am actually the opposite of a heroine. I am quite short in height, my voice is not heroine-friendly, the complexion of my skin is wheatish.”

The Hichki actor said it was actually her mother who “realized her dream” before she could and that she insisted Rani to sign her first film.

“I think when I started, I never believed I could be an actor. I grew up watching Sridevi, Juhi, Madhuri and Rekha ji, who were these screen goddesses and I never imagined myself up there with them,” she added.
