Aditi Rao Hydari recently shared insights about her now-famous Gajagamini walk in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi. She confessed that she was initially unaware of its significance until Bhansali explained it to her. "I had to ask Sanjay sir and my dance teacher about it. Is it the Gajagamini walk, the swan walk? I wasn’t sure! I did exactly what Sanjay sir asked me to do. In Kathak, there is Mayur chaal (peacock walk) and Gajagamini (walk of seduction), but I need to find out more about it," Aditi revealed.
In Heeramandi, Aditi plays the role of Bibbojaan. The series, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, also features an ensemble cast including Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Sharmin Segal Mehta, Farida Jalal, Fardeen Khan, Shekhar Suman, and Adhyayan Suman. It delves into the multifaceted experiences and struggles of women during the freedom movement.
In a previous interview, Aditi expressed her admiration for Bhansali, stating, “I am very protective of him. He is incredibly precious and deserves to be protected. Working with him has been a huge blessing. With Bibbojaan and Heeramandi, I felt I had more time with someone I deeply respect and love. Being around a genius like him is a profound experience, and one or two projects are never enough. It’s addictive; you want to keep working with him. Any role he offers me is always something special.”
