“I want to work with good people and good directors. I don’t have the privilege of choice to say ‘I want to work with you’ and the person will say, ‘Yes, come on, I will write a film for you.’ It doesn’t happen for people like me who come from the outside,” she told PTI here.
Aditi made her Bollywood debut in a supporting role in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Delhi 6 in 2009, and feels “lucky” that she has been a part of good films.
“I have been lucky that good people have chosen me to be a part of their films and I am really grateful. This fills me with a sense of positivity and there is so much to look forward to,” she said.
The actress, who has struck a balance between glamorous roles in movies like London Paris New York, Boss and performance-driven characters in Yeh Saali Zindagi and Rockstar, said she does not want to get pigeon-holed in a particular image.
“I want to do different things. I don’t want to be stuck in the ‘sweet girl’ box. I don’t want to be stuck in the ‘oh she is so glamorous’ box. I want to be brought into a film for more than that. I hope I bring more to the table than just a face and a fit body. But it is not a conscious decision. I don’t have a method, I don’t overthink things. Even on set I switch-on and switch-off. I could be bawling and the next minute I could be jumping. I work like that. I am a five-year-old kid in my head.”
The actress said she was fortunate to do films which were more than just “glamorous.”
“Even London Paris New York and Murder 3 were films which demanded a lot of work in terms of acting. There was good solid work for me. They weren’t just glamorous roles. And I believe there is nothing wrong with being glamorous, nothing wrong with being sexy or feminine,” Aditi added.
