The
lockdown
to
prevent
the
spread
of
Novel
Coronavirus
has
been
an
unprecedented
situation
and
therefore
many
have
found
it
a
stressful
period.
Actress
Aditi
Rao
Hydari,
who
says
she
is
generally
an
optimistic
person,
reveals
that
she
was
anxious
and
swimming
in
tears
during
the
lockdown.
However,
she
battled
through
it
and
used
the
lockdown
period
to
do
things
she
didn't
have
the
time
to,
before.
In
an
interview
with
Mumbai
Mirror,
Aditi
said,
"I
was
anxious
and
swimming
in
tears.
I
missed
being
on
the
sets
and
was
feeling
frustrated
that
I
couldn't
help
people
the
way
I
wanted
to."
Explaining
that
she
is
generally
an
optimistic
person,
she
said,
"Put
a
tub
of
muck
in
front
of
me
and
I
will
find
something
beautiful
in
it.
So,
I
called
my
near
and
dear
ones
who
were
equally
stressed,
and
helping
them
out
helped
me
feel
better."
She
continued,
"In
the
last
eight-nine
years,
I
haven't
been
able
to
give
too
much
time
to
dance
and
music.
I
used
to
practice
Kalari,
but
then,
I
stopped.
The
break
gave
me
time
to
reconnect
with
my
creative
side.
I
was
trying
to
get
fluent
in
Telugu,
my
mother
tongue.
But
since
I
am
doing
a
Tamil
film,
I
started
getting
confused
and
had
to
put
that
on
the
back-burner."
In
Bollywood,
Aditi
was
last
seen
in
the
epic
period
drama,
Padmaavat,
directed
by
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali,
and
starring
Shahid
Kapoor,
Ranveer
Singh
and
Deepika
Padukone
in
the
lead.
She
has
lately
been
busy
working
on
films
in
the
South.
