/> Two major heart attacks had made Rani extremely weary of her father's health. So when Ram Mukherjee collapsed one not-so-fine day Rani Mukherjee and her family thought the worse.

"Luckily it wasn't his heart. It was his kidney. And that was bad enough. Because of his earlier heart condition the kidney couldn't take the strain. So yes I've been through a rough time. But all is well now.

Dad is well on the road to recovery. And we can't thank the industry and all my friends and his friends enough, " says the relieved and emotional daughter after the worst is over.

When detected with a kidney condition Ram Mukherjee was immediately taken to Jaslok hospital where to add to the family's distress, wrong medication was administered. "But that was no one's fault. Yeh sab hota hai. Fortunately they detected the error before there was any damage. After that he has been getting better by the day."

On Tuesday Rani wrapped up the last day of her shooting for Yashraj Film that she's done with Shahid Kapoor.

But for a while it was touch-and-go for Rani. "Yeah, you could say that again. I barely had the time to touch dad's forehead in the ICU and I had to go for shooting. But you know me. I don't let my work suffer for anything. That's the way my father has brought me up."

More than her friends in the film industry who Rani says stood by her in her hour of distress it was her father's associates whose support overwhelmed the industry.

"My father's colleagues and workers from his workplace have stood by us like pillars of strength. At a time like this you realize how important it is to have sown enough love to reap its harvest during crisis. You say I'm popular? You should've seen my dad's popularity. I feel so proud of him."

Ram Mukherjee will be in hospital for a while.

Says Rani, "I don't want to bring him home until we're sure he's fully recovered. At Jaslok he's being taken care of fully. Though now he's well enough to take care of himself, there're nurses to look after him round the clock. We at home cannot provide the same clinical care."

Rani says the support in the film industry has been overwhelming. "Friends like Karan Johar and Sanjay Bhansali have been wonderfully supportive. Sanjay called and asked, ‘How's the rock star doing?' I said the rock star is rocking. I wonder if he meant me or my father, ha ha."

Now that shooting is over for now, Rani intends to spend all her time with her Dad. "When he fell ill it was like déjà vu. When his heart attack had happened I was shooting and attending to him.

Being a working girl has its advantages and disadvantages. While I can provide him with the best possible medical facilities I can't give my father the amount of time I want to."
