Actress Rani Mukerji is happy with the fact that everyone is talking about her marriage and says that people's concern makes her feel
like being the daughter of the country`
'I feel very lucky that the entire country thinks about my marriage. In that sense I am the daughter of the country because they are so
concerned about my marriage, ' Rani told. 'I am extremely happy that they are thinking about my marriage and not of anything else but
such an auspicious thing. So for me, it is a very sweet thing, ' added the 34-year-old, who is said to be dating filmmaker Aditya
Chopra.`
Interestingly, her forthcoming film 'Aiyyaa' revolves around marriage. Directed by National Award winning director Sachin Kundalkar, it
sees Rani as a Pune-based Marathi girl Meenakshi Deshpande whose parents want to her to get married.`
But she falls in
love with a Tamil painter as she is attracted by his body odour. Rani admits the film is a risk as audiences are not used to this kind of
cinema.
`
' 'Aiyyaa' is one such risk that I have taken because not only the script is whacked-out, but also the filmmaking style that Sachin has
adapted is very different to what our Hindi audience is used to watching, ' she said. But she is confident that from young girls to
grandmothers all will relate to the movie.`
'I am not talking about just a section of people in the city. When you see pan India, every girl wants to be independent and make her
choice in terms of a life partner. Unfortunately, some girls don't have the liberty to make that choice because they are burdened with
the thought that this is what they have to follow, ' she said.`
'Not only young girls, but mothers and grandmothers, who have been through this situation in their lives, will relate to my character, '
she added. After actors like Katrina Kaif, Vidya Balan and Chitrangada Singh, Rani has done a sensuous Lavani number in the film.`
'I don't think those were (a Lavani dance) in true sense but what I have done in the film is an authentic Lavani, ' she said.
'Aiyyaa' will introduce southern star Prithviraj Sukumaran when it releases Oct 12.
