Earlier in the day, Rani penned a heartfelt note ahead of the release of the Mardaani 3 trailer and wrote how cinema was never a ‘masterplan’ and she grew as an individual as well as a person while working in cinema.

"Thirty years… When I say that out loud, it feels unreal, but it also tells me that if you do something that you love from the bottom of your heart, time flies and you are left hungry for more."

“Cinema has a strange way of freezing emotions. Somewhere inside me, I am still that nervous girl standing in front of the camera for the first time, hoping I wouldn't forget my lines, hoping I belonged. I didn't come into films with a master plan. I came with curiosity, fear, and a deep love for stories, for the exploration of the human mind through characters,” she further added.
