While discussing the show with Entertainment Tonight alongside co-stars Kate Hudson and Kaling, Song recounted how Kate Hudson’s daughter, Rani, played a surprising role during filming. Despite being just 6 years old, Rani had a significant impact on the set, offering her valuable insights and feedback to the actors.
In a light-hearted manner, Song shared, “One of my favorite moments with Kate and Rani…Rani had headphones on, she came over and she goes, ‘Mom, I didn’t really like that last take,’ She would give us notes. It was the best.” Hudson, in agreement, added, “It was unbelievable. It’s like full-on.” The playful interaction brought a charming and unexpected dynamic to the filming process.
Hudson, who shares Rani with fiancé Danny Fujikawa, also spoke about her daughter’s assertiveness on set, recalling how Rani candidly expressed her opinions about the production.

The camaraderie and lighthearted atmosphere on set were evident as Kaling, Hudson, and Song reminisced about Rani’s presence and her spirited contributions. Song added, “She was like, ‘I heard you had two boys. She was like, oh my god, she ran that set,” underscoring Rani’s enthusiastic participation in the filming process.
Hudson’s nurturing and supportive parenting style was reflected in a heartwarming post she shared on Instagram in celebration of Rani’s sixth birthday. The post featured a collection of photos capturing joyful moments from Rani’s birthday celebrations and everyday life, showcasing the bond between mother and daughter.
In a previous interview with PEOPLE, Hudson spoke candidly about her blended family dynamic, emphasizing the strength and unity within their unique structure. With children from different relationships, including sons Ryder and Bingham, Hudson highlighted the importance of co-parenting and maintaining a close-knit family unit.
The actress expressed pride in her children’s individual journeys, with Ryder thriving in college and maintaining strong relationships with his parents, and Bellamy being a supportive co-parent to their son Bingham. Hudson’s commitment to fostering a harmonious and loving environment for her children was evident in her reflections on their shared experiences.
