In her new film 'Bhoomi', Aditi Rao Hydari is cast as Sanjay Dutt's daughter. The two have come away feeling bonded beyond the camera. Aditi is already feeling the pangs of separation. "The shooting in Agra was very very tough in terms of the crowds and other on-location problems. Just having Sanjay Sir around made me feel so comforted. I wouldn't say he was just protective about me. That he was for sure. But there was a lot more in the way he lightened up the atmosphere on location during the shooting of the tense drama with talks on food and friends and family. He just made life so much easier," she said.
