New Delhi: Actress Aditi Rao Hydari, who received acclaim for her brief yet evocative role as Mehrunissa in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s epic drama Padmaavat, says that dreams do come true if they are guided by right intention. She also feels that she has guardian angels as she is currently living her dreams.
“I think every film and every experience helps you grow and learn, I would say Mani Ratnam’s film and Padmaavat made me believe that if you have a dream and your intentions are guided by that dream then it does come true,” Aditi said in an interview here.
She continued: “They are legendary directors and for me with no backing to be living that dream has been so fulfilling that I feel blessed… I do know that it makes a difference to ones career to have experiences like these and I am grateful for them. I am convinced I have guardian angels.”
When asked if she feels that she has finally arrived in Hindi film industry just like she is known for her fashion sense, she said: “I don’t even think like that, these things are for others to say. I’d rather put my energy and love into my work, the people I love and living and loving every second of my life.”
The actress says that she likes roles that have character.
“They (heroines) can be feminine, vulnerable but also are strong and fearless. I am drawn to characters like these. I think we have to be the change we want so as girls in the industry, we are pushing for the change and I hope industries all over India push for this change… not just us girls! Women are an integral part of any story real or reel,” she said.
Aditi is currently shooting Mani Ratnam’s next film along with a film set in space directed by Sankalp Reddy.
