But did you know that before entering the film industry, Aditya was in the television world? The ‘Fitoor’ actor was once a video jockey (VJ) with Channel V. There too he was doing a fantastic job with his performance and has been one of the coolest VJs of our times.
Another interesting fact about Aditya is that he hails from a family of stars and star makers.
