Becoming an actor wasn't Rani Mukherji's decision..! Here's who chose this career for her!

Mumbai: Rani Mukherji today said she became an actor by default as it was a decision that was taken by her mother. "I did not decide (to become actor), my mum decided for me. When we were young it was a different generation, unlike what happens today. I was an obedient child." "So I did whatever my mum said, she said become an actor, so I became an actor. She realised my thing (of actor) before me. I became an actor by default. I thank my mum today as I don't think I would be anything else than an actor," Rani said at a promotional event of her upcoming film "Hichki".
