Rani Mukherji shares actor-director Kamal Haasan’s wise words on her heightLessons to cherish

Rani Mukerji and Kamal Haasan’s critically acclaimed movie Hey Ram has completed 20 years of its release in the Hindi film industry. And Rani has shared interesting lessons that she learnt during the shoot, “Getting an opportunity to work with Kamal Haasan for me at that point in my career was something very special because I was always an admirer of his acting,” she said.

Kamal gave Rani invaluable lessons in building self-confidence.

“I remember wearing these platform slippers and Kamalji looked at them and said ‘wow, wow what are these!’ I said I was very comfortable walking in platform slippers because my height is short. He said ‘Are you crazy? Just wear flats. You are not to be measured by how tall you are but your achievements will measure who you are and I think that also stayed with me,” she said.

“From then on, I was confident about my height. To be an actor, you don’t necessarily need to be tall. Being an actor is about performing, is about acting and that is the biggest lesson I learnt from Kamalji,” she added. — IANS
