Bollywood actress Aditi Rao Hydari, who plays the role of the wife of Alauddin Khilji, which is played by Ranveer Singh, expressed her gratitude towards director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the entire team of her film Padmaavat.
Recently, she said her role as Mehrunisa in the epic drama may have been small, but was special and beautiful in many ways. She is overwhelmed by the response that she has received for it.
“It has been a childhood dream of mine to work with Sanjay (Leela Bhansali), sir. I am actually very overwhelmed by the response because Mehrunisa, I knew, has a very special part and Sanjay sir had always told me that anyone who reads the script always asks who is going to play Mehrunisa. So, I knew it was a special part but it was a very tiny part,” said.
She shared a picture on her Instagram of one of her scenes from the film and expressed her gratitude to the cast and crew of the film and thanked them.
