She confesses that she’s always had a bit of “greed” to collaborate fully with Imtiaz Ali after Rockstar, and this project satisfies that creative hunger. While Imtiaz takes the reins as creator, writer, and showrunner, parts of the series have been directed by Arif Ali, creating a vibrant mix of viewpoints. Still, Imtiaz’s influence is unmistakable in how the scenes come alive, emotions unfold, and characters are developed in real time, rather than through rigid setups.
Aditi describes the experience as profoundly challenging, revealing that O Saathi Re pushed her emotionally more than most of her past roles. The show dives deep into emotional drama, requiring vulnerability and intensity from its cast. For her, the challenge became a source of excitement—proof that she was exactly where she wanted to be as an actor, facing discomfort and depth head-on.
Working alongside Avinash Tiwary became another anchor for Aditi. Having collaborated before, the trust they share translated seamlessly on set. She talks about him not just as a reliable co-star but as someone whose presence made emotionally charged scenes feel safer and more authentic. Their chemistry plays a crucial role in grounding the romantic essence of the narrative.
