This actress has no work since last year, going door-to-door for roles, even Sanjay Leela Bhansali couldn’t help her, she is now…, name is…

Bollywood actress Aditi Rao Hydari garnered immense praise for her performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s period drama series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. However, despite the show’s success, the actress revealed that she didn’t get any work for a year and is yet to sign a new film or a show. In a recent interview, Aditi addressed the challenges that women continue to face in the entertainment industry.

While speaking to Lilly Singh, Aditi acknowledged the love and appreciation she received for Heeramandi and said, “For example, after Heeramandi, it was wonderful. I got so much love, so much appreciation. So much everything. Have I signed my next show/film? No. I haven’t. I’m still waiting.” She added, “I got a lot from it. But yeah, I am still waiting.” Aditi further agreed with Lily’s observation that how stories around women are often treated as exceptions rather than the norm and said, “It is, yes. You are absolutely correct.”

The actress went on to reveal that despite Heeramandi’s success, she hasn’t received any new project. “For example, after Heeramandi, it was wonderful. I got so much love, so much appreciation. So much everything. Have I signed my next show/film? No. I haven’t. I’m still waiting.” She added, “I got a lot from it. But yeah, I am still waiting.” Aditi said.

When asked Aditi whether it will be easy to create shows like Heeramandi, again, Aditi firmly denied and said, “No, I don’t think so. I hope so. I hope there will be a change.” She hopes rather than emphasising on gender roles, the power of storytelling captivates attention.

Along with Aditi, Heeramandi starred an ensemble cast including, Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sharmin Segal, and Taha Shah Badussha. Created by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the show premiered on Netflix on May 1, 2024.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Aditi will be next seen in Imtiaz Ali’s O Saathi Re, starring Avinash Tiwary. She also has a family entertainer titled Parivarik ManuRanjan in her pipeline, alongside Pankaj Tripathi.
