In a recent interview with Mid-day, Aditi said, "People tell me my innocence and vulnerability are the first thing they notice about me. I believe it has also been used in the work I have done. When you perform, you tear apart your heart to give something to the character. It leaves you vulnerable. I have realised the only way I work best is when I feel loved and nurtured."
