Rani Mukerji Breaks Silence on Nigerian Ambassador Controversy

Rani Mukerji recently responded after the Norwegian Ambassador referred to Mrs. Chatterjee Vs. Norway.

Rani Mukerji is currently experiencing great success thanks to the popularity of her most recent movie, Mrs. Chatterjee Vs. Norway. The movie is based on the true account of a mother whose children were removed from her by Norway’s Child Welfare Services due to poor parenting. The Norwegian Ambassador wrote a lengthy letter criticising the movie before it even entered theatres for portraying his country poorly. The actress has now reacted to the same for the first time.

Rani is now conducting post-film success interviews. The actress was questioned in relation to the same at one of the same interviews.

The actor said, ”Everybody is entitled to have their own opinion. This film was not really made to offend anybody. It was a story of a mother that needed to be told to and seen by a lot of people.” Adding, “The film clearly shows how it’s never the main people who are doing it, but people who are taking advantage of a system. But everybody is touchy about their own country and will try to defend. But more than that, it’s about watching the film and the story that actually happened.”

“For somebody like me, who’s s an Indian citizen, what would I understand with my Indian government being involved with this? It can’t be a fictional story because my government helped getting the children united with the mother. So, by one person saying something, it’s not really going to affect the larger picture of the film that we wanted to make and the story that we wanted to put out.”

Hans Jacob Frydenlund, “It is important for me to present the official Norwegian perspective and correct factual inaccuracies, that this film unfortunately portrays. The film projects cultural differences as the primary factor in the case, which is completely false. Without going into any details of this particular case, I categorically deny that feeding with hands and sleeping in the same bed would be the reason for placing children in alternative care. Not in this case and not in any case.”
