Mukherji supported himself through high school, college and grad school as an emancipated minor when his parents were forced to return to India due to economic constraints.
After suffering from medical ailments, Mukherji's father late Asim Mukherji, an accountant, could no longer work as a result of his health and could not afford health coverage without employment.
The experience shaped Mukherji's perspective and interest in healthcare and inspired much of his subsequent advocacy in that field.
Mukherji's father passed away in March and he voiced his gratitude to his parents for their support and guidance.
Mukherji said he feels "honoured" to be elected to the State Legislature and stresses that he would focus on areas of economic development, healthcare, access to quality educationand public safety in his tenure in the State Assembly.
"I am just trying to follow in the footsteps of some people I hold in very high regard," like Indian-American Upendra Chivukula who has served in the New Jersey General Assembly since 2002, where he represents the 17th Legislative District.
