Jazz, Funk and the Blues, these are the chosen beats for the HELLO!XADITI cover shoot… turned up (way up) high by ace lens man, Arjun Mark. The beats poured over team HELLO! and our cover muse as her svelte frame turned imperceptibly with every note of music… resulting in frames exulting in her doe-eyed, beguiling beauty. With tapping feet and a sense of wonder, Aditi flips through racks of pastel-hued chiffon and trays with gleaming jewels. Her calm, soft spoken, polite and gentle exterior is the foil for a fiery and self-assured temperament. She is a perfectionist and will settle for no less as becomes clearly evident with her dynamic choices for all aspects of the shoot. “Yes, no, oooh I love this, mmmm not this one…” Her delight to be on set evident; “I love playing dress up always have!”
