Bollywood actress Aditi Rao Hydari returned to acting with Netflix’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar after a brief hiatus. The actress delivered a powerful performance in the series and received widespread acclaim. Additionally, her iconic ‘gajagamini’ walk went viral online.

During a recent conversation with Farah Khan on her YouTube channel, the actress shared that she experienced a dry spell in her career despite the success of the Netflix series. She also reflected on her wedding to Siddharth.

Aditi said, “After Heeramandi, the way everybody went on and on, and how it was loved, and I thought now it is going to be a bauchaar (shower) of interesting stuff and then cut to… I am like, ‘What’s going on?' It was really like a drought!”

Farah was visibly surprised by the revelation and asked if that was the reason she decided to get married. Aditi smiled and responded, “Actually! No seriously we had to space it out so that we get could get back from work, get married and then get back to work. But the wedding was a lot of fun.”
