Rani impresses Polish fans
Rani Mukerji, who was lauded for her role as a brave police officer in the film Mardaani, left Bollywood cinema lovers of Poland impressed with her acting skills and with the intricacies of the film which revolves around human trafficking, during the film's premiere at the Muranow theatre.
Addressing the audience she said, “It is a great pity that people are not paying enough attention to the problem of global human trafficking particularly of young girls. It is not only limited to South Asian countries, it became a big racket after the fall of Berlin Wall in Eastern Europe. If in the 1990s Russian girls were being used in the international market, now Ukrainian, Romanian and Syrian girls are being traded in the world.”
