Aditi
Spills
The
Beans
"It
felt
so
amazing
that
she
(Jaya
Bachchan)
had
suggested
my
name
to
him.
I
have
never
had
that
kind
of
support
or
backing
in
the
industry.
So,
when
people
who
I
love
and
respect
so
much
stand
up
for
me,
or
encourage
and
appreciate
me,
it
means
a
lot,"
Hydari
told
PTI
in
an
interview.
What
Prompted
Mrs
Bachchan
To
Suggest
Her
Name?
Asked
if
she
knows
what
prompted
Jaya
Bachchan
to
suggest
her
name,
Aditi
Rao
Hydari
said
she
read
it
in
newspapers
that
it
was
her
eyes
which
impressed
the
senior
actor.
How
Sweet
Is
That!
"When
you
get
a
blessing
you
don't
ask
questions.
She
did
mention
(the
reason)
why
to Sanjay sir,
but
I
read
somewhere
that
she
said
there
is
some
purity
in
my
eyes
and
'noor' on
my
face,"
she
said.
Aditi
Is
Happy
With
The
Response
As
Mehrunissa,
the actor played
the
perfect
antithesis
to
Ranveer
Singh's
aggressive
portrayal
of
Khilji.Describing
her
character
as
the
perfect
"yin
to
Ranveer's
yang",
the
31-year-old actor said
she
completely
followed
Bhansali's
vision
and
is
overwhelmed
with
the
response
she
has
received.
Aditi
On
Her
Character
"The
girl
is
beautiful
inside
out.
She
speaks
very
little
but
there
is
a
beautiful
layering
to
her
character
where
she
is
vulnerable,
delicate,
but
there
is
strength,
dignity,"
she
said.
"Khilji
has
a
towering
presence,
he
is
temperamental,
intimidating,
but
she
has
the
courage
to
look
him
in
the
eyes
and
tell
him
the
truth.
I
loved
that
about
the
character," Hydari said.
Why
Aditi
Chose
Padmaavat
Despite
Having
A
Small
Role?
"Padmaavat"
is
based
on
the
saga
of
the
historic
13th
century
battle
between
Maharaja
Ratan
Singh
played
by
Shahid
Kapoor
and
his
army
of
Mewar
and Sultan
Khilji of Delhi.
While
the film has
three
principal
characters
-
Ranveer
Singh, Shahid
Kapoor and Deepika
Padukone -
jostling
for
her
own
space
was
not
an
issue
for
Hydari,
who
said
she
does
not
look
at
films
by
the
length
of
her
role.
Aditi
On
Shahid
&
Deepika
"I
derive
a
lot
of
inspiration
and
strength.
Like
there
was
a
scene
with
Shahid
and
Deepika,
I
really
respect
and
admire
them
as
people
and
actors.
I
have
immense
faith
in
the
directors
I
work
with,
that
they
have
put
me
there
(in
the
film)
for
a
reason
and
they
will
bring
out
the
best
in
me.
I
don't
think
about
anything
else
(referring
to
length
of
role).
It's
possibly
a
very
naive
way
of
looking
at
things,"
she
said.
