Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji is celebrating the 19th anniversary of her critically acclaimed film ‘Black’ in which she co-starred with veteran Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan. Reflecting back on the film, the actress said that the film taught her a lot about life and about being grateful.
The film, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, narrates the story of Michelle (played by Rani), a deaf-and-blind woman, and her relationship with her teacher Debraj (played by Big B), an elderly alcoholic teacher who later develops Alzheimer’s disease.
Walking down the memory lane, Rani Mukerji said: “‘Black’ had a profound impact on my life as an actor and as an individual. The challenges of using sign language for even the simplest tasks was a huge learning experience and a very humbling one too. ‘Black’ will always remain very special to me, because it taught me a lot about life and about being grateful.
