Aditi

Rao Hydari believes that while celebs do face a lot of pressure in terms of beauty standards and demand to look good, everyone being able to "own" their style and comfort is what makes the conversation about authenticity beautiful. Aditi, who tied the knot with actor Siddharth in 2024, impressed fans for keeping her wedding look simple, traditional, and elegant. During a conversation on the red carpet of the Femina Beauty Awards, held on May 6 in Mumbai, Aditi looked back at her special day. Agreeing to call herself a "happy bride," she shared the secret behind the beautiful moments.

Aditi says she was a 'happy bride'

Aditi told Zoom, "I was a happy bride. I am still a happy bride. But I also thank my family for that because there was no pressure from them. They were like, whatever makes you happy. All of us were together, and it was also very small, we kept it very quiet. That also makes it very sacrosanct, sacred, and intimate."

She further explained why happy thoughts are what make marriages special. "During weddings, every human being over there needs to have only the best thoughts and blessings for you. When you can feel that, I think that's a very special feeling," Aditi added.

Aditi and Siddharth's wedding

Aditi and Siddharth dated for some years before tying the knot on September 16, 2024, in an intimate ceremony at a 400-year-old temple in Wanaparthy, Telangana. The couple met on the sets of the 2021 film Maha Samudram, developed a close friendship that turned into romance, and officially married after getting engaged in March 2024.

Recalling how the couple chose to stay authentic to their customs and traditions, Aditi explained how it might be different for different people. "Authenticity is something that possibly comes naturally to each person, but the noise around you may put pressure. I think cut out the noise and do what makes you feel good. There's nothing more beautiful than the feeling of feeling beautiful, and usually that comes out of making people feel good around you."

Aditi on beauty standards

While the 39-year-old feels beauty standards have changed over time, leading to a lot of conversation about authenticity, she believes there's still some pressure "because everybody's owning it." For her, that's a nice change in terms of people making their own decisions. She added, "People are deciding what their version of beauty is, what makes them feel beautiful, and I think that's a wonderful thing. I hope more people do that, though."On a concluding note, Aditi noted that the true test of beauty comes when you are "completely down and out," yet manage to feel good about yourself. "Just keep that positivity around you," she said.
