Aditi Rao Hydari spoke about the failure and the rejections she faced in Bollywood. The actress spoke about how she felt when she had to go through when she had to face rejection. The actress even said there are many things which are not under an individual’s control.


The actor said, “Things like failure, rejections etc do cross my mind. There will be a fleeting regret or a fleeting thought over a role that I lost out on but this feeling passes by very quickly. I actually feel there are so many people who struggle to do good work here [in the film industry]. Forget good work, just work. There are various reasons that are not in your control. Maybe, I didn’t know the people or I didn’t even know the project was happening or I didn’t have the right backing, so I can’t always look back and sulk.”


Talking about ‘Padamavati’ the actress said, “It takes time to build that versatility, get parts you want to play onscreen and work with people you want to work with. But, it’s all a process. You have to take it in your stride and take one step at a time. The point is to be a lambi race ka ghoda (have an impressive long run.”


The actress concluded by saying, “I’ve built this all up from knowing nothing and being [a] nobody, not even having any PR team of my own. I was on my little own self, literally. I come from quite a protective space and continue to be naive. But then, you sort of learn, though I really do protect that five-year-old [self] inside me because I don’t want to become bitter or crib about stuff. So, I make it a point to always look at the right side of things.”
