Aditi Rao Hydari's journey from a miniscule role in "Delhi 6" to the lead in her forthcoming release "London, Paris, New York", has not been easy. The actress says she has realised that the industry is image driven and that she desires to avoid that.
"Now I'VE realised that the industry is image driven. Supporting roles are very beautifully written, but supporting character is a window into the life," she said.
"But in a lead role you get to turn such a lot emotions, sorrow, pain everything and also you get to live a life that is very satisfying. I sing and dance and all and that i get a possibility to do that only in a lead role. I always desired to do this. This is where I WOULD LIKE to be," she added.
Aditi desires to persist with lead roles only.
"I want to do lead roles. I DO NOT love to make that difference as I WOULDN'T just like the industry to fit me into anything.
"I feel that I DO NOT want that chance to be taken clear of me. If I keep accepting second lead roles, then I'LL BE slotted. I DO NOT what this to happen. I BELIEVE that I WILL BE ABLE TO give so much to the lead role. I GET some good offers," she said.
Directed by the debutant Anu Menon, "London Paris The big apple" will see Aditi romancing Pakistani actor Ali Zafar when it hits the screens March 2.
Bagging a lead role was not easy, said Aditi, adding, "I just hoped for excellent things to happen and somehow it happened. Coincidentally Goldie (producer Goldie Behl) saw considered one of my shots from 'Yeh Saali Zindagi' and he told my manager that I WOULD LIKE her in my next film."
For the primary time Aditi could be seen dancing on big screen.
"I was dancing since I USED TO BE five years old. I'VE learnt Kalaripayut. I'VE danced within the film, but it's little quirky. I BEGAN dancing by myself steps they usually said we can provide you with five to 6 cameras do whatever you're feeling like. I enjoyed that."
She plays an excessively idealistic and judgmental role in "London, Paris, The big apple."
