ADITI RAO HYDARI BELIEVES THAT THE UNIVERSE CONSPIRES TO GIVE YOU WHAT YOUR HEART DEEPLY DESIRES.
When little Aditi watched Manisha Koirala dancing to Kehna hi kya in Bombay (1995), the image of the actor in a white lehenga with middle-parted hair and classic pearls left her mesmerised. A dream took birth in her of someday working with ace director Mani Ratnam. And when dreams are heartfelt, the Universe conspires to fulfill them. Two decades later, Aditi Rao Hydari was ‘presented’ in the genius filmmaker’s Kaatru Veliyidai. Set against the backdrop of the Kargil war, Kaatru Veliyidai is a layered love story between fighter pilot Varun (Karthi) and doctor Leela Abraham (Aditi Rao Hydari). While being held captive, Varun reminisces about her and tries to redeem himself and his lost love. The poetic love story won critics over as it dealt with the complex emotions of a narcissistic and sexist officer and the healing love of the woman he loved. “The response has been overwhelming. I was presented with such care and attention. It has been a soul-satisfying experience,” says the gorgeous Aditi.
