Aditi blessed to be Mani’s heroine
Actress Aditi Rao Hydari, who has collaborated with filmmaker Mani Ratnam for a second time for his next Tamil film Chekka Chivantha Vaanam, said she always wanted to act with him. The actress had previously worked with Ratnam in Kaatru Veliyidai. Aditi said, “I feel really blessed. I haven’t grown up watching too many films but I just had this dream. In fact, it was a little girl's dream when I saw Mani sir's film Bombay and wanted to be a Mani (Ratnam) heroine.”
‘Those who know me well know that I'm an asthmatic. What's to hide? I knew that I had to control my asthma before it controlled me. As long as I've got my inhaler, asthma can't stop me from achieving my goals and living a ‘Berok Zindagi.’’

Actress Mandira Bedi agrees that juggling between family and work is a struggle for a working mother but she suggests that one needs to find the right formula. She says that some of her best works happened after she became a mother. “Some of the best works that I have done have been after I became a mother. I did 24, a couple of movies and some commercials are coming my way. I am enjoying work now. So, I don't think that there is any such thing as work not coming your way when you become a mother,” said Mandira.
