Actor Aditi Rao Hydari continues to set fashion trends at the 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival. On May 23, she turned heads on the iconic red carpet in a stunning black and white gown, with her hair styled in a neat bun and makeup kept elegantly simple. The ‘Heeramandi’ star attended the screening of “L’Amour Ouf (Beating Hearts),” directed by Gilles Lellouche, representing cosmetics giant L’Oreal at the festival.
Fans have been raving about her red carpet look, with comments on Instagram like “Absolute diva” and “All eyes on her.”
Aditi’s second look at Cannes 2024 was equally captivating. In images and videos shared online, she can be seen strolling the streets of the French Riviera in a floral black gown with shades of yellow, black, and green. The sleeveless ensemble features a halter neckline, and her fiancé Siddharth couldn’t help but praise her, commenting, “Oh Wow!”
On the acting front, Aditi is receiving acclaim for her role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s debut series ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar.’ In a recent interview with ANI, Aditi expressed her deep gratitude for Bhansali’s mentorship and the enriching experience of working with him.
“Sanjay sir is not just a filmmaker, he’s a beacon of inspiration. His guidance transcends mere instruction; it’s akin to a gentle hand leading you through the labyrinth of creativity,” she shared. “He believes every woman, despite where she comes from, deserves to be treated like a queen. And her story is worth telling with a lot of dignity, pride and courage. So, to be a part of ‘Heeramandi’ and to be with Sanjay Sir, to surrender to him, to learn from him was incredible and I feel very blessed for it. I love Sanjay Sir and it was amazing working with him.”
The series, which explores the cultural reality of Heeramandi through the stories of courtesans and their patrons, also features Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sharmin Segal, Taha Shah Badussha, Shekhar Suman, and Adhyayan Suman. For Aditi, working with such a talented ensemble cast was a valuable experience.
“It was very valuable for me to work with incredible people. Also, it was surreal for me to work with Manisha Ma’am, Sonakshi, Richa, Sanjeeda. There were so many people on sets who were incredible. We all wanted the best for each other. Manisha ma’am is so kind and encouraging. Similarly, Sanjeeda, Sharmin, Taha, Fardeen (Khan), they are all great and incredible,” she said.
