Aditi Rao Hydari returns to the screen with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazar,' marking her comeback six years after 'Padmaavat.' In the Netflix series, she portrays Bibbojaan, a mistress who quietly rebels. Aditi reveals that while both she and her characters are determined, their approaches to seeking love diverge.
Talking to the media, Aditi said that Bibbojaan is soft-hearted.
Born into conflicting desires and aspirations, she grapples with the tension between her origins and her aspirations. Despite harbouring immense love and stability within, she channels them towards a greater cause. However, personally, she struggles to reconcile these emotions due to her deep sense of responsibility towards her mother. Her journey is marked by intriguing complexities, navigating the conflict between her heart's desires and societal expectations.
Describing herself as an idealistic lover, Aditi emphasises her straightforward approach to love. She embraces the concept wholeheartedly, symbolising it with unicorns and rainbows. In a delightful turn of events, she recently got engaged to her co-star Siddharth from 'Maha Samudram' in March of this year.
'Heeramandi: Diamond Bazaar' set in pre-independence India, blends beauty and grandeur in its 8-episode storyline. The series follows Mallikajaan, played by Manisha Koirala, and Fareedan, portrayed by Sonakshi Sinha, as they compete for control of Heeramandi, a realm ruled by courtesans.
