Aditi Rao Hydari received rave reviews and became a rage on social media after the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi last year.
Actor Aditi Rao Hydari received glowing reviews for her performance in Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. Her ‘gajagamini’ walk also became an internet sensation. However, the actor revealed that all the limelight did not translate to exciting acting roles post its release.

What Aditi said
During the interaction, Farah and Aditi talked about the impact of Heeramandi when the actor shared, “After Heeramandi, the way everybody went on and on, and how it was loved and I thought now it is going to be a bauchaar (shower) of interesting stuff and then cut to… I am like, ‘What’s going on?’ It was really like a drought!”
Farah looked surprised and asked, “Really? Tabhi tune shaadi kar li (That is why you got married)!” Aditi giggled and said, “Actually! No seriously we had to space it out so that we get could get back from work, get married and then get back to work. But the wedding was a lot of fun.”
Last year in September, Aditi got married to actor Siddharth in an intimate ceremony in the presence of their loved ones.
