Mehrusina in ‘Padmaavat’ was tiny, but special part

Actress Aditi Rao Hydari said her role as Mehrunisa in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s epic drama ‘Padmaavat’ may have been tiny, 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,” Aditi said.
