Rani defends herself after media speculation

Bollywood sultress Rani Mukherji has gone on record to defend herself against allegations of her living a life of a recluse.

“I am perceived to be as a recluse which I am not. I am a family oriented person and I like to spend time with my family when I am not working,” Rani told reporters in Mumbai a few days ago. “Just because I keep to myself after shooting and not seen at places where the media normally goes, one can’t have such preconceived notions. I like playing with my two-year-old neice Myesha when I am free.”

The Bengal babe spoke to the media while promoting her soon to be released magical flick `Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic’, at a city-based orphanage.
