Aditi's Awesome Look with Little Black Bindi

Aditi Rao Hydari's journey in the film industry is marked by continuous growth and commendable achievements. Recently, she was honored with the Golden Icon Galatta Award in Chennai, recognizing her outstanding performances in films like Jubilee and Taj decided by Blood.

Not just on the screen, but Aditi also graced social media with regal elegance, sharing pictures of herself in a traditional dark sage green lehenga choli ensemble.

Reflecting on her southern Indian roots, she fondly recalls her initial reluctance to wear a bindi. Sharing the pics, she wrote, “The little black dot! I never wanted to wear a bottu

(that's what a bindi is called in Hyderabad) when I was little. It's so much a part of the southern indian tradition, it doesn't even count as dressing up. My mother wears a kumkum bottu made out of turmeric in the most beautiful vermillion, I used to watch her make her kumkum bottu, just that and she would glow without a spot of make up. I'd go to dance class and wear my neat middle parted long braid with no fuss but I just did not want to wear a bottu! It was years later when I started shooting for Kaatru veliyidai with mani sir that I got attached to this little black dot on my forehead. From the costume trials with Eka To shooting in Ooty, Ladakh, Serbia, the freezing cold, my Rudolph red nose and my little black bottu. And here it is! My favourite little black bottu”

Looking ahead, Aditi has exciting projects in the pipeline. She will be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's much-anticipated Heeramandi, set to stream on Netflix. Additionally, 'Gandhi Talks,' a silent film scored by AR Rahman, features her alongside Vijay Sethupathi and Arvind Swamy.
