Rani Mukherji kept her promise of visiting the Yerwada Central Jail.
She launched a radio channel for prisoners and a brand for products made by jail interns.
After playing a cop in Mardaani, Rani Mukherji was not only hailed for her performance but has also been in news for her efforts to reach out to the police department in various ways. After all, seldom do we come across a film featuring a policewoman who won’t give up.
Looks like this role has certainly left a mark on the civic authorities for the actress was called for a prison event – something she had long promised to be part of. She was invited by the Yerwada Central Jail authorities to launch a radio channel called Radio YCP for the prisoners as well as a brand named Maka for the products manufactured by jail interns.
As a token of her appreciation, Rani donated an ECG machine to the prison infirmary. After the unveiling of the Maka, she shopped for some bakery products to take back home which were made by the prisoners.
The actress called it a humbling experience to visit the historic Yerwada prison where freedom fighters like Mahatma Gandhi, Motilal Nehru, Sardar Patel and others were lodged during the independence movement.
