The glamorous and discrete world of celebrity romances witnessed a swirl of speculation as reports recently emerged, indicating that renowned actors Aditi Rao Hydari and Siddharth had entered into wedlock in a clandestine temple wedding. Nevertheless, the duo has stepped forward to set the record straight, revealing that they have, in fact, only taken the leap into engagement, and not marriage.
The story took shape on a Wednesday, with widespread buzz that Aditi Rao Hydari had covertly exchanged marriage vows with her beau Siddharth in an intimate ceremony set in the heart of Telangana. Subsequent events lent this tale some credence, as Hydari was conspicuously absent from the Netflix gala that heralded the release dates for the upcoming show ‘Heeramandi’, where she is slated to play a significant role. At the momentous occasion, the gathering’s host openly attributed Hydari’s no-show to her nuptial commitments with Siddharth.
Yet, as the narrative of matrimony unfolded, a pivotal turn of events came to light. On the following day, Aditi took to Instagram, sharing a snapshot with her partner Siddharth, both proudly displaying their engagement rings. The accompanying caption resonated with bliss and confirmation: “He said yes! E. N. G. A. G. E. D.”
This announcement from Hydari was an eye-opener, swiftly overturning the marriage rumors and presenting the authentic picture of their romantic milestone. As a couple, Aditi Rao Hydari and Siddharth have hitherto maintained a respected silence regarding their personal life. It is understood through sources that their paths converged into a love story on the sets of their movie ‘Maha Samundram’ during 2021. Their affection was finally made public on the first of January, when the couple took to Instagram with a celebratory post welcoming the new year, bedecked with references to ‘magic happiness love laughter unicorns rainbows and fairy dust.’
Previously, Aditi had shared her life with actor Satyadeep Mishra, who has recently moved forward with his life marrying fashion designer Masaba. Meanwhile, Siddharth’s professional journey has not seen any pause. Aditi is all set to ignite the silver screen with her performance in the Indo-U.K co-production ‘Lioness.’ Based on historian Peter Bance’s revelatory research about Princess Sophia Duleep, the film narrates the potent tale of two British Punjabi women a century apart. Bance is also taking an active role as one of the executive producers of this cinematic venture.
The fervor around her career escalates with her role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Heeramandi’, an undertaking that boasts a constellation of stars including Sonakshi Sinha, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Manisha Koirala, Richa Chadha, and Sharmin Segal. Hydari, in the guise of Bibbojaan, is poised to intrigue audiences with a character that seeks liberty, not only for herself but many others. Positioned against the backdrop of the eponymous neighborhood within pre-partition Lahore, Heeramandi intricately weaves the narratives of power conflicts within an era marked by the rise of anti-colonial movements.
Adding a melodious layer to her array of upcoming projects, Aditi will also be seen in A.R. Rahman’s musical wonder ‘Gandhi Talks.’ This silent film, directed by Kishor Pandurang Belekar, features a stellar cast including Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swami, and Siddharth Jadhav. With each role distinct from the last, Hydari’s spectrum of performances is a testament to her versatile artistry.
In the midst of careers that move from strength to strength, Aditi Rao Hydari and Siddharth’s engagement has captured hearts and headlines. Their clarification amidst the torrent of wedding speculations places the spotlight back on their journey together, as two individuals and artists, preparing to embark on a new chapter of companionship.
