Aditi Rao Hydari is an enigma, a delightful cocktail of fierce and fiercely feminine, vulnerable, and self-assured. Cosmo EdNandini Bhalla gets to know her...
I am scheduled to interview Aditi Rao Hydari at 4pm, at a cosy restaurant in Mumbai. She will be travelling to Hyderabad later that day, and her manager has squeezed me in between an afternoon shoot and evening flight.
My own Delhi-Mumbai flight lands over two hours late, amidst heavy rains. The roads are water-clogged, and traffic is at a standstill, lined with blinking cars and despondent drivers. I have chewed my nails down to stubs, anxiety rising with every missed traffic light. By the time I reach Aditi, she has been waiting for an hour. The interview must take place in the car now, her manager informs me, on her way to the airport. I yank open the door of her SUV, apologies at the ready. But Aditi doesn’t let me finish. “You must be starving,” she says, then searches her car for something to eat. A jar of granola emerges from the in-car storage unit. “Eat this,” she urges. And so we have a few moments of silence, sharing a jar of chocolate-flavoured granola.
