Rani Mukerji will be seen on screen after a long time in Mrs. Chaterjee Vs Norway. The film is based on a true story. Have you watched the trailer yet? Well, it will definately give you goosebumps. Sagarika Bhattacharya, whose life inspired the film, said that it was an emotional moment for her when she saw the trailer.

She said, “It’s hard to put into words how it feels seeing my story being told. Watching the trailer, I felt like I was reliving my battle. I believe it is important for people to know this story and to see how immigrant mothers/parents are treated even today, as is evident from the tragic story in Germany. I’ve been in touch with Ariha Shah’s mother Dhara, whose little girl has been taken away. I implore you all to stand by her, just as I do. My support is unconditional, from one mother to another.” “I want to thank Rani Mukerji for channeling the grief and struggles that I went through to win back my children. She is a mother herself and I thank her for bringing a mother’s painful journey on screen with so much dignity that I broke down while seeing her in the trailer.”

The children of Sagarika Bhattacharya were taken away by the Norwegian Child Welfare Services citing habits that are commonplace in Indian society. What happened next was an over a year long tussle for the custody of the children. The authorities also claimed that she was mentally unfit ti raise the children. 

She even approached the Calcutta High Court for the custody of her children.  In January 2013, Justice Dipankar Dutta ruled that Sagarika should get custody of the two children while allowing their uncle and grandfather to have visitation privileges.
