The story of this Indian immigrant mother, who went all out for her child and took on a nation, shook me deeply… a mother's love for her child is unconditional," she said. Rani celebrated her win with good friend, Shah Rukh Khan, who shared the Best Actor Award for Jawan with 12th Fail star Vikrant Massey. SRK's wife, Gauri Khan, posted a celebratory carousel that featured candid moments with Shah Rukh, Rani Mukerji and Karan Johar. In one picture, SRK is seen kissing Rani on her cheek. Gauri captioned the post, 'Three of my absolute favourites just WON big… and so did our hearts ❤️ When talent meets goodness, magic happens — so proud, and so ready to brag about them forever! 💕" First Published: August 03, 2025, 09:09 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

As per reports, Rani Mukerji is being considered for her role in Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway. Amid buzz that the National Awards will be announced soon, new reports claim that Vikrant Massey will win the Best Actor award, and that Rani Mukerji is a strong contender in the Best Actress category.
