She revealed that her late father-in-law convinced her to play Suhani in the movie Saathiya by calling her parents into his studio, locking the door, and telling them that they could not leave until they agreed that Rani would do the film. She added that she was foolish for having refused it in the first place and was grateful for this 'blackmail'.
