Aditi Rao Hydari confessed to not knowing about her Gajagamini walk scene in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s directorial Heeramandi.
In an interview with Zoom, the Murder 3 actress talked about her iconic walk, “I want to ask somebody, Sanjay sir, my dance teacher, what is it? Is it the Gajagamini walk, the swan walk? What walk is that I don’t know!"
"I’ll say it was what Sanjay sir asked me to do. I followed Sanjay sir and what he told me. I know in Kathak there is Mayur chaal (peacock walk), then there is Gajagamini (walk of seduction), but I am sure it is in all the dance forms but I don’t know; I should find out,” she added.
Earlier Rao Hydari expressed her thoughts on working with Leela Bhansali, praisng his talent and work ethics.
“ I view him as precious and deserving of safeguarding. I feel that working with him on projects like Heeramandi has been a profound blessing which granted me the opportunity to spend more time with someone I deeply respect and admire,” she told IANS.
Heeramandi is set in the red-light district of Lahore during the pre-partition India.
