She Would Be Better Padmavati Than Deepika?

Ever since its inception and the announcement of star cast, the only movie that caught the attention of so many movie lovers and immersed in neck-deep controversies in the recent times is undoubtedly Bhansali's magnum opus Padmaavat.

With Bhansali's muse Deepika Padukone playing the titular role, the film got huge popularity in no time. However, there are some other thoughts that are haunting few audiences as they feel that more than Deepika another actress would have justified the role well. Even though the screen time is very less, the actress who immensely pleased the viewers with her outstanding performance in Padmaavat is Aditi Rao Hydari who played the wife (Mallika Jahan) role of Alauddin Khilji in the film.

The stunning performance of the Aditi came out as a surprise for the fans as her royal and elegant appearance coupled with expressive eyes just flattered everyone. She portrayed even delicate emotions extremely well, unlike Deepika who just applied glycerine all the time into her eyes to give that wet stare, they say. Especially her acting when she got to know that her husband (Alauddin Khilji) killed her father (King Jalaluddin) is top notch. Perhaps that is the reason fans are commenting that Aditi Rao could have outdone Deepika in the titular role.

On the other hand, more than the film's hero played by Deepika Padukone and the side-character portrayed by Shahid Kapoor, it is villain Ranveer Singh who is winning all the applause.
