MUMBAI: Aditi Rao Hydari believes in being a pan-Indian artiste instead of restricting herself to one film industry, was seen in films in languages including Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu and Hindi.

Aditi says, ““If the Hindi audience loves me as an actor and accepts me and at the same time the Tamil, Telugu and the Malayalam audience love and accept me too, then why would I say no to all that love? I belong to the Indian film industry at large, and I will continue to juggle between different industries.”

Aditi feels that as an actor, she tells stories and these stories have feelings, and as they say, emotions have no language. The actress says that in the past two years, Indians went beyond their language and began consuming world content through OTT platforms.

“In the digital space, the audience has been consuming content regardless of what language it is made in. They are watching it as stories. In my case, as I have said before, I always wanted to be a Mani Ratnam heroine. I used to think that it would be possible only if I could speak in Tamil. Then once I had the experience of working with him (in Kaatru Veliyidai and Chekka Chivantha Vaanam), I realised that working with someone has nothing to do with the language. It is all about understanding what your characters need to feel on screen. I am not surprised that with OTT, Indians are consuming a lot of Korean content, too. It is incredible.”

Way to go Aditi! (Also Read: Superb! Aditi Rao Hydari gives a sneak peek of a new song titled Fear from Hey Sinamika)
