Be it outside the gym, at a restaurant, or while spotted at the airport, celebritie­s are under the constant scanner to look their best. There have been times when many actors have been trolled for sporting a no makeup look or criticised for their ensemble. Actor Aditi Rao Hydari, who prefers to keep her style subtle when not shooting, feels that in the time of social media, people tend to receive extreme reactions, but they shouldn’t take it to heart.

“I don’t think about such things too seriously. I would rather find something comfortabl­e and wear it. That’s about it. I can’t think any more than that. When it comes to makeup, I don’t necessaril­y wear it when I don’t have to. I’m quite comfortabl­e in my own skin. What I do is take good care of my skin, sleep and eat well and stay happy,” she says.

Being an actor, Aditi says she would rather put her mind and soul in bettering her art rather than paying heed to her airport looks that has sort of become the latest fad. “Whatever effort I can invest I would want to put it on my acting. My energy is driven towards that and not my airport looks. My work gives me immense pleasure, and when I get to work on good stories, with great filmmakers and actors, it brings a glow on my face,” says the actor, who is busy with projects such as Psycho, V, Dhanush’s next and The Girl on The Train.

Aditi further shares that what one chooses to wear should be solely his or her decision and the person should have the liberty to make their choice. “One can suggest but it’s not right to make negative comments. What I like might not be loved by others. That does not mean that my choice is wrong and everyone else is right. I’m very instinctiv­e when it comes to fashion. I dress up the way I want to at that point in time. I don’t think I have a particular kind of style. I know some people would do anything to be fashionabl­e, that’s good but they sometimes overdo it. Being fashionabl­e is not a burden; it’s an extension of who you are. There’s no need to fit into any kind of norm,” Aditi says.
