Aditi Rao Hydari Covers Vogue India May 2018, Lensed By Errikos Andreou In 'To The Tropics'

Indian actor Aditi Rao Hydari says her role as Mehrunisa in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s controversial epic drama 'Padmaavat' may have been tiny, but was special and beautiful in many ways, especially because of the overwhelming personal response she has received.. Now Hydari is garnering rave reviews for her role in the late-April release of 'Daas Dev', a romantic political thriller directed by Sudhir Mishra.

Aditi was born in Hyderabad and grew up in Delhi, deeply inspired by her maternal grandmother. “I dressed girly in kurtas, bindis and braids because I loved Bharatanatyam (a classical Indian dance form). But my nani would give me junk food, put me in shorts, let my ringlets free, and send me out in the mud to play.” Her obsession with floral scents goes back to memories of her mother’s large collection of handloom saris that she wore with mismatched blouses.
