Aditi Rao Hydari's enchanting walk in the song "Saiyaan Hatto Jaao" from the recently released Netflix series "Heeramandi" has taken the internet by storm. The clip, featuring Aditi as Bibbojaan performing for Nawab Wali, played by Fardeen Khan, has gone viral, showcasing her mesmerising gaja gamini walk.
In a recent interview with Connect Cine, Aditi expressed her surprise at the overwhelming response to her walk and credited director Sanjay Leela Bhansali for helping her perfect the move. She highlighted Sanjay's deep involvement in the choreography alongside choreographer Kruti Mahesh.
Aditi shared, "That walk, just that little tukda from thumri, it is all over the internet. I really didn't expect that and Sanjay sir did say, ‘Ye chaal bahut important hai (This walk is very important).' He has so much knowledge so he was very much involved in the making of the song."
She elaborated on Sanjay's meticulous attention to detail, stating, "Kruti Mahesh was there choreographing, but he was completely involved in every detail of the choreography, and he was very particular about this walk and how it should happen, how will the dupatta fall, how will the waist move, exactly when will the ‘chan' sound will be heard…it was quite incredible."
"Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar" also features Fardeen Khan, Shekhar Suman, Taha Shah, and Adhyayan Suman, among others. Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the series is currently streaming on Netflix.
