Actress Aditi Rao Hydari says her role as
Mehrunisa in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's epic
drama "Padmaavat" may have been tiny, but
was special and beautiful in many ways. She
is overwhelmed by the response that she
has received for it.
"It has been a childhood dream of mine to
work with Sanjay (Leela Bhansali), sir. I am
actually very overwhelmed by the response
because Mehrunisa, I knew, has a very
special part and Sanjay sir had always told
me that anyone who reads the script always
asks who is going to play Mehrunisa. So, I
knew it was a special part but it was a very
tiny part," Aditi told IANS here.
"The kind of response that Mehrunisa has
got is incredible and I give full credit to
Sanjay sir, the writers, the director of
photography, the people who create that
look for her. It's complete part.
"In every scene, her character and how she
comes out so beautifully in very few words
(is beautiful), so full credit to people who
created that character and I really enjoyed
playing her," added Aditi.
"Padmaavat", which stars Deepika
Padukone, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer
Singh in key roles, hit the screens after a
string of controversies. Despite the hurdles,
it is on its way to Rs 200 crore at the box
office.
Aditi, who played wife to Ranveer's
character as Delhi Sultan Alauddin Khilji, says
she was pleased to perform a character that
was so strong.
"It's such a pleasure to play somebody who
is not only vulnerable, delicate, regal, grace
personified and pure, but also who is
fearless and stands up for what is right at
every stage and has absolutely no fear in
doing so. I think it was a very beautiful
character," said Aditi.
The actress walked the ramp for designer
Payal Singhal on the fourth day of Lakme
Fashion Week (LFW) Summer-Resort 2018 in
a lehenga-choli in pale rose, mint and lilac
zardozi and filigree work, teamed with an
embroidered tulle dupatta.
Singhal showcased her line 'Saira', which
celebrates the synergy of art and culture, of
design and legacy, of history and evolution.
The collection dips into history, tracing the
influence of Islam on art, textiles, and
architecture in regions like Turkey, Morocco,
Persia, Mughal India, Iran, and Afghanistan.
There are intricate patterns, jaali work,
filigree, and antique embroidery inspired
from the era gone by.
The collection features luxurious silks,
jamavars and brocades accentuated with
delicate organzas and tulle. Embroideries
like kasav, mukaish, fardi, zardosi and
filigree work have been juxtaposed with
new techniques on contemporary Indian
wear silhouettes like lehengas, dhoti sarees,
kurtas, and jackets.
On roping in Aditi as a showstopper, the
designer said: "Aditi has got a very princess-
like look. She has got Indian features, but
has a very new age international look also
which is very rare."
Will she design for Aditi's films too?
"We do have done clothes for her. In fact, I
have done some outfits for her film 'Daas
Dev', but we work with stylists," Singhal told
IANS.
