The actress, who began her journey in 2006 with the Malayalam film \u2018Prajapathi\u2019, acknowledges that smear campaigns against public figures are not new.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"3\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Aditi Rao Hydari on the rise of online toxicity<br \/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"5\"\/>Reflecting on the growing influence of digital media, Aditi highlights how online chatter often turns toxic. \u201cCelebrity smear campaigns aren\u2019t new,&#8221; she tells Hindustan Times, adding, \u201cBut I see it around me all the time. Occasionally, I come across random rubbish about myself. I ignore it because I know there\u2019s some agenda behind it.&#8221; The actor points out that the flood of online content has made it increasingly difficult to distinguish verified information from speculation. \u201cThere\u2019s so much misinformation on platforms that are supposed to be factual,&#8221; says Aditi, adding: \u201cAdd paid negativity and hidden agendas, and it becomes toxic. Sometimes, too much information is a burden. The mystery surrounding actors has faded.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Aditi Rao Hydari on staying calm amid criticism<br \/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Although Aditi admits that dealing with criticism isn\u2019t always easy, she refuses to let it disturb her peace of mind. She credits her mother\u2019s wisdom for helping her stay grounded. \u201cMy mother always said when someone is mean, the issue lies within them. That thought keeps me centred.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Aditi Rao Hydari on success, struggle and finding balance<br \/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Having built a diverse career that spans several film industries and formats, Aditi continues to draw attention with her recent performances in \u2018Gandhi Talks\u2019 and the 2024 web series \u2018Heeramandi\u2019. Both projects earned her critical recognition, yet she remains realistic about the nature of success in cinema. Hydari notes that artistic praise or box-office hits don\u2019t necessarily guarantee steady opportunities, particularly for those without a film family background. \u201cTalent exists beyond success and failure. But if you\u2019re an outsider, success influences opportunities. Even after a hit, you wait for the right scripts. Commercial success doesn\u2019t automatically sort your year,&#8221; she says.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source timesofindia.indiatimes.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aditi Rao Hydari says \u201cpaid negativity\u201d and online misinformation have made entertainment tougher. \u201cCelebrity smear campaigns aren\u2019t new, but digital platforms amplify them,\u201d she tells Hindustan Times.
