the
best
Performance
in
a
Leading
Role

her
portrayal
in
the
tear-jerker,

Mrs
Chatterjee
Vs
Norway.

‘Receiving
this
award
at
IIFA
feels
even
more
special
as
it
validates
the
fact
that

Mrs
Chatterjee
Vs
Norway
made
an
impact
globally
in
people’s
hearts,’
Rani
said
in
her
acceptance
speech.

Mrs
Chatterjee
Vs
Norway‘s
success
reaffirms
the
timeless
power
of
storytelling
and
the
universal
language
of
maternal
love
and
human
resilience.

‘The
story
of
this
Indian
immigrant
mother
shook
me
deeply.
A
mother’s
love
for
a
child
is
unconditional,
something
I
used
to
believe
was
a
myth
until
I
had
my
own.’

been
happening
since
before,
not

It’s
always
going
to
be
like
that.
It

me

tough
time

change
my
image,
and

I’ve
changed
my
image
and
done
characters
that
are
very
different.”

spoke
about
the
struggles
he
faced
throughout
his
career:
“I
just
think
that
hard
days
are
part
of
life.
I
don’t
look
at
them
and
feel,
oh
my
God,
I
went
through
that
period.
It’s
a
journey,
and
every
person
goes
through
it.
If
you
work
hard,
there
comes
a
day
when
you
get
some
kind
of
acknowledgment.”

because
when
my
first
film

Ankur
was
released
on
September

1974,
you
would
knock
me
down
with
a
feather
if
you
had
told
me
I’d
still
be
working
50
years
later.

I’m
really

still
getting
