Rani  Mukerji career flourish after her film ‘Saathiya’ came her way. She  once recalled Yash Chopra calling her parents to the office. Her parents had actually gone to tell him that Rani is not interested in doing this film. Rani had said that after Mujhse Dosti Karoge, she waited for about eight months 'without any work'. "At that time, refusing work, like my mother thought I had gone mad because anything that was getting offered to me I was just like 'no, no, no'. I started taking decisions then." When asked what she did during that time Rani added, "nothing, I just sat at home".

She further narrating the incident said, "A lot of film critics and magazines had written me off and they said 'her career's over' and I was okay with that. I was like probably they are right but I'm not going to give up. I'm going to take up something that my heart believes in. Then luckily Saathiya came along and I remember Yash (Chopra) uncle calling my parents to the office. My parents had gone to tell Yash uncle that 'Rani is not interested to do this film'. He called me up and said, 'Beta, you're making a very big mistake. I'm locking the door of my room and I'm not letting your parents out till you say yes to the film'. And I thank him for that."
