Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji and filmmaker Aditya Chopra tied the knot in April 2014, yet the world has never seen a single wedding photograph. Speaking exclusively to ANI in Mumbai, Rani revealed the reason behind their discreet ceremony.
“My husband is a very private person, and I think he wanted the wedding to be very private. So obviously I don’t think he’ll ever want the wedding pictures to be out,” Rani shared. When asked jokingly if fans would have to wait until their silver jubilee to glimpse the photos, she laughed and said, “Maybe! Actually, that’s a very good idea.”

How does Rani separate work and personal life?
Rani has consistently maintained a clear boundary between her personal and professional life. She explained, “I think I was always private because my work life is different, my personal life is different. If you’ve seen me through the years, I think I only make like appearances when there is a reason for it. It’s not always all the time.”
She added, “I do think that there are certain things that you need to keep to yourself because you need to protect your environment slightly. Everything can’t be for everyone to see because we’re already so exposed so that exposure is enough. I feel there are certain things that you need to keep private to yourself, especially where you’re going, what you’re doing, and what you’re doing with your family. I think that is a little something that you should protect.”
How does Rani protect her family?
Rani and Aditya have applied the same principle to their daughter, Adira, born on December 9, 2015. The couple has shielded her from the paparazzi and public scrutiny, ensuring that she grows up away from the constant spotlight of the entertainment industry. Rani believes that maintaining this privacy is essential to preserving a sense of normalcy and safety for their child.
Over the years, the couple has made very few public appearances together, choosing to focus on their family rather than media attention. Rani’s philosophy of privacy has become an example of how celebrities can navigate fame while protecting their personal lives.
In an era where celebrity lives are constantly under the lens, Rani Mukerji and Aditya Chopra’s approach is a refreshing reminder that it is possible to enjoy fame while keeping personal milestones and family life away from public scrutiny. Their discreet lifestyle, including an unseen wedding and a carefully shielded family life, sets them apart in an industry obsessed with exposure.
Highlights:
- Rani Mukerji and Aditya Chopra’s wedding photos remain private even after 11 years.
- The couple keeps their daughter, Adira away from the media and paparazzi culture.
- Rani emphasizes the importance of protecting personal life amidst constant public exposure.
