IIFA 2024: Rani Mukerji ‘dedicates her award to all mothers’ as she wins Best Actress of the Year Award for Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway

Bollywood icon Rani Mukerji, who has won immense critical and commercial acclaim with her heart-wrenching performance in Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway, bagged the Best Actress award at IIFA 2024 which was held in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. Inspired by true events, the film portrayed the struggle of a mother in a poignant manner. Considering the same, the actress decided to dedicate her win to all the mothers out there and opened up about the same in her speech.

On receiving the award, Rani Mukerji shared on-stage, "It feels incredible to be standing here,receiving the Best Actor Award amid such a warm and wonderful audience and my friends and colleagues from my fraternity for one of the most special films of my career. Receiving this award at IIFA feels even more special as it validates the fact that Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway made an impact globally in people's hearts. The film’s success reaffirms the timeless power of storytelling and the universal language of maternal love and human resilience.”

She added, "The story of this Indian immigrant mother shook me deeply.. a mother's love for her child is unconditional.. unconditional love I used to believe was a myth till I had my own. A mother's love knows no law and no pity. It dares all things and crushes anything that stands in its path. No one can come between her and her child. It makes me extremely happy to dedicate this award to all the mothers out there. Mothers can move mountains for their children and make the world a better place.”
