Rani Mukerji recalls her stressful days following Adira's birth

Popular Indian actress Rani Mukerji opens up about her daughter Adira's birth as she sat for a candid chat.

Adira was born two months before her due date and Rani back then took some time away from her acting career just to raise her .

The Hichki star appeared at Kareena Kapoor's YouTube Talk Show What Women Want where she spilled all on the tough journey.

"I think what happens to women when they become mothers is that there's something in us that changes immediately. The minute you see the baby out of your system and you look at that baby's face, you suddenly realise that you're not important anymore."

She added, "There's somebody else more important than you. It's the first time in our lives that we realise we love somebody more than ourselves. When that moment happened in my life, for me, there was nothing more important than my child."

Rani went on saying, "Also in my case, my daughter is premature, so she came to me two months before her due time. She was like really tiny. I was stressed and as a mother, your motherly instinct kicks in. She was in the NICU for about 7 days, when she was supposed to be there for 15 days. But luckily with god's grace all the parameters that a baby needs to do, Adira just kicked in."

The actress married director Aditya Chopra in 2014 and both had a daughter Adira in 2015, who needed extra care just because she was born premature.
