“I love Sanjay sir”, said the Murder 3 actress sharing that she just loves working with the filmmaker. She further revealed that Bhansali loves his characters and actors and also creates an incredible atmosphere for them. Aditi added, “Everything he does comes from love and extreme passion. It’s very inspiring and amazing to see. Everybody talks about how he challenges his actors, but he challenges himself the most, to find that magic, to keep creating, to find something almost ephemeral. It’s an experience.”
Aditi’s latest outing Heeramandi is available to stream on Netflix and also stars Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, and Richa Chadha among others.
