New Delhi: Imagine Bollywood’s queen Rani Mukerji chatting with a cricket hero about smashing stereotypes. On Republic Day eve, Yash Raj Films unleashed a video that’s got everyone talking.
National Award winner Rani and Player of the Tournament Deepti Sharma, the UP Warriorz all-rounder from India’s women’s cricket team, deliver a punchy message: say no to gender labels. Why tag achievements as women’s this or girls’ that? Watch it spark debates on equality.
Video sparks gender equality fire
Yash Raj Films released this powerful video just before Republic Day on January 25, 2026. It stars Rani Mukerji, known for hits like Mardaani, and Deepti Sharma, the star all-rounder who shone as Player of the Tournament in the Women’s Cricket World Cup. Through a heartfelt chat, they challenge why we slap gender labels on success.
Rani kicks off, asking Deepti: “Why do we say ‘woman chef’ or ‘lady pilot’? Why not just chef or pilot?” Deepti nods, sharing how her cricket feats get tagged as “women’s cricket” triumphs. “Professions like chefs or pilots are rarely defined by gender, and so why should achievements be?” the video states, as per Yash Raj Films’ caption.

The duo spotlights real change, too. The entire crew behind the camera was all-women, proving talent knows no gender. Their exchange builds to a stirring close.
Achievements ka koi gender nahi hota
Rani and Deepti unite for the knockout line: “Achievements ka koi gender nahi hota. This Republic Day, let go of labels.” Yash Raj Films shared it on Instagram, urging fans to ditch biased tags.
This comes at a perfect time, with Republic Day celebrating India’s unity. Deepti’s rise—from village fields to World Cup glory—inspires millions, while Rani’s bold roles fight for women’s strength. Together, they push merit over labels.
Fans are loving it. Social media buzzes with praise for the simple yet sharp message. In a world quick to label, Rani and Deepti remind us: true achievement stands alone.
