Rani Mukerji was accidentally swapped with a Punjabi couple's newborn just after her birth in hospital, the actress revealed in an interview with ABP News as reported by Odisha TV. Her mother Krishna Mukherjee instantly knew something was wrong because the baby brought to her did not have the brown eyes her own child had. Krishna insisted on a search and retrieved baby Rani from the other couple's room. Born in a famous film family, Rani becomes the latest Bollywood star to share a near-life-changing mix-up at birth.
