She is an actress and a classical bharatnatyam dancer. And the blue-blood lineage aside, Aditi Rao Hydari started her Bollywood career with Sudhir Mishra’s Yeh Saali Zindagi and now her role in Murder 3 has earned her the kudos. Hydari speaks to Millennium Post in a candid chat. Read on!
Let’s start with your journey first...
I am very grateful for whatever I have got. Because I come from outside. I knew nobody when I came here. My family has always taught me that I have to be the queen of my own journey. I think so far I have taken baby-steps, But every step has been a step-up. And that is where I see myself winning. If I am a good actor, I will definitely become a star.
How difficult is for Aditi Rao Hydari to judge herself?
I am very self-critical. You may like my work or you may not, But I work very hard on my performance.
From a sweet girl-next-door to a sexy and strong character in Murder 3 - tell us about this transformation...
The sweet girl-next-door also falls in love, she also has sex. It’s normal. Murder 3, was about relationships and intimate content was obvious. The strength of the film was it had a very strong story. I was very happy to do this film. And honestly, I never thought of it as an image change.
How did you feel about playing the part of a sexy character on screen?
If I am to play a sexy part or a bold part, I will play it the way it’s honest and real. Because i have to be happy with that. I will not confirm to somebody else’s notion on what is ‘sexy’ or what is ‘correct’. I have to be okay with my own notion and that of the directors’.
Murder 3 was a woman-centric film, It revolved around you. What was in your control?
The only thing here which I can control is putting 100% in my work. I have always been taught that one must not put up a wall between you and your audience. Give love and you will get love. The moment my director says ‘Action!’, I am completely in my character. The moment it’s a ‘Cut’, I am out of that world. I function like that. The first thing that I figure about my role is if I have understood the nature of the character or no. After that, I am completely natural. This is the only thing which is in my control.
And you enjoyed doing Murder 3?
Yes. I really enjoyed doing Murder 3 to the core of my heart. I used to get exhausted at the end of the day, But I was always ready for the next scene.
How much were you inspired by the Bhatt-Camp?
For me to be a part of Bhatt-Camp is a huge privilege. They are very hard-working people. The put in a lot of money to make a good film, to tell a good Story.
Do you think the success Murder gave to Mallika Sherawat, Murder 2 gave to Jacqueline Fernandez, Murder 3 will so the same to you?
It’s very difficult for me to answer this question, But I think Murder 3 will do good for me. I can never see a loss for an actor in Murder Franchise. I have this feeling, Murder 3 will take me to another level.
