The film had her play the role of a devadasi and her performance in the film garnered positive reviews from critics.

Hydari rose to fame after her performance in Sudhir Mishra's 2011 romantic thriller film Yeh Saali Zindagi, a role that won her the Screen Award in the Best Supporting Actress category. She has subsequently starred in several successful Hindi films including the musical Rockstar (2011), the horror-thriller Murder 3 (2013), the romantic comedy Khoobsurat (2014), the thriller Wazir (2016) and the drama Fitoor (2016).

Early life

Aditi Rao Hydari was born on 28 October 1986 in Hyderabad[2] to Ehsaan Hydari and his wife Vidya Rao, a classical singer popular for thumri genre of music.[3][4] Her father, who died in 2013, was a Bohri Muslim while her mother, who is a Hindu by birth, is a practicing Buddhist and a Chitrapur Saraswat from Mangalore who is half-Telugu.[5]

Aditi belongs to two royal lineages,[6] that of Muhammad Saleh Akbar Hydari and J. Rameshwar Rao of erstwhile Raja of Wanaparthy family.[7] She is the great granddaughter of Akbar Hydari, former Prime Minister of Hyderabad and the grand niece of Muhammad Saleh Akbar Hydari, former Governor of Assam.[8] Aditi's maternal grandparents are Raja J Rameshwar Rao, who headed the administration of Wanaparthi state during its day, and Shanta Rameshwar Rao,[7] a much respected educationalist in the city of Hyderabad, and the chairperson of the publishing house Orient Blackswan. Filmmaker Kiran Rao, the wife of actor Aamir Khan,[9] is her maternal first cousin.[10]

Although Hydari's parents had a loving marriage, they separated when she was just 2 years-old. Her mother moved from Hyderabad to Delhi and started managing her family business there. While her father re-married, but did not have children, her mother remained single.[5] Hydari spent her childhood in both Hyderabad and Delhi. She started learning Bharatanatyam at age six and became a disciple of acclaimed dancer Leela Samson.[11] She did her schooling at Rishi Valley School, Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh and graduated from the prestigious Lady Shri Ram College, University of Delhi.[12][13]

Career

Debut and further roles (2007–15)

Hydari made her acting debut with the 2007 Tamil film Sringaram, in which she played the lead character, a devadasi.[11] The film itself was based on classical dance, being directed by Sharada Ramanathan and produced by Padmini Ravi, a noted bharatanatyam dancer. Hydari was approached and offered the role after Ramanathan saw her dance performance at a conference.[14] The film received critical acclaim and fetched several accolades, including three National Film Awards.[14] Her first film to release in theatres, however, was the 2006 Malayalam film Prajapathi, in which she starred alongside Mammootty.[15] In 2009, she played a supporting role in Delhi-6, directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.

In 2011, Hydari appeared in the film Yeh Saali Zindagi, for which she won the screen award.[16] In 2011, she also starred in the Bollywood film Rockstar.[17] She has appeared in a Airtel 3G advertisement in April 2011.[18] In 2012, she played the female lead in the movie London, Paris, New York, opposite Ali Zafar.[19][19] With this movie, she made her singing debut by singing two of the songs.[7] Hydari received mixed reviews for her performance. The film was a commercial failure.

In 2013, she became a part of Mahesh Bhatt's Murder franchise,[8] when she was cast as Roshni, opposite Randeep Hooda, in Vishesh Bhatt's directorial film Murder 3.[8][20] Hydari received positive reviews for her performance, Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama wrote: "Aditi and Sara are show-stoppers. Both deliver knockout performances",[21] and Roshni Devi of Koimoi stated that "Aditi's performance is pillar for the film."[22] The film was an average grosser, earning ₹25 crore (US$3.1 million). Hydari then starred opposite Akshay Kumar in the action film Boss, directed by Anthony D'Souza.[23] She played the romantic interest of the lead character played by Kumar. The film received mixed responses from critics but was a box office success.[24][25]

In 2017, her first Mani Ratnam movie; Kaatru Veliyidai, released on 7 April 2017. She plays the role of Dr. Leela from Srinagar and is seen romancing Tamil actor Karthi. She is currently shooting for Omung Kumar's Bhoomi, with Sanjay Dutt, and for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati with Ranveer Singh.

In 2016, Hydari starred alongside Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar in Bejoy Nambiar's crime thriller film Wazir.[26] The film tells the story of two unusual friends, a wheelchair-bound chess grandmaster, played by Bachchan and a grief-stricken ATS officer, played by Akhtar. Hydari played the love interest of Akhtar's character. The film released on 8 January 2016 to mostly positive reviews and had the box office collection of around ₹62 crore (US$7.8 million).[27][28] Hydari also garnered praise for her performance. Gayatri Gauri in her review for Firstpost called Hydari's performance a "welcome change from glamorous heroines we usually see on screen."[29] Abhijit Bhaduri of The Times of India said that despite the lack of focus on her character, she did justice to her part by "conveying stuff with her eyes."[30] Ananya Bhattacharya of India Today gave Hydari the highest praise saying that she "brings vulnerability to her Ruhana" added that she "has to her credit several strong sequences."[31]

Hydari next starred in Abhishek Kapoor's romantic drama film Fitoor, along with Tabu, Aditya Roy Kapur and Katrina Kaif.[32] The film based on Charles Dickens' novel Great Expectations, had Hydari play the role of the younger Miss Havisham (later played by Tabu).[33] The film was released on 12 February 2016 to mixed reviews and underperformed at the box-office.[34] However, Hydari garnered praise for her performance. Sarita Tanwar of Daily News and Analysis in her review wrote: "Aditi Rao Hydari does full justice to the part of young Begum", and Surabhi Redkar of Koimoi deemed her "stunning".[35][36]

Personal life

In 2005,[11] and 2009[15] it was reported that she was married to Satyadeep Mishra, a Bollywood and television actor.[37][38] The actress had declined to comment on her marital status in a 2012 interview but in a 2013 interview she mentioned that they were separated.[39][8] Hydari had met Mishra at 17 with whom she had her first serious relationship. She married him at the age of 21 but kept the marriage a secret when she debuted in Bollywood. Although separated, the two are close friends and have kept in touch over the years.[40] [41][42]

Hydari had a difficult, but close relationship with her father, Ehsaan, who died in 2013 from lung cancer.[43]
