Actress Aditi Rao Hydari is a pan Indian star in true sense of the term. Ever since her debut in the film industry, she has worked in Hindi, Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil and Marathi films. In a recent chat with The Indian Express, the actress opened up about her experience of having such a large area of work. She said, "Because it’s all happening simultaneously, I’m always confused. When I’m supposed to speak Telugu, I start speaking Tamil. It’s such a big mess. But I really enjoy it."

Opening up about the beginning of her career, Aditi shared that she wanted to become an actress only to be able to work with filmmaker Mani Ratnam. She said, "I wanted to be a Mani Ratnam heroine, and that’s what made me want to join the movies. But it was just a dream and I thought if I want to do this, I’ll have to be able to speak Tamil and be able to work in another language because that is Mani sir’s first language. But that thought was subconsciously there.”

“I moved to Bombay in around 2010-11 and started doing Hindi films. I was fumbling but somewhere my dream was very strong. And then ultimately I did get to work with Mani sir in 2016, she added.
