Aditi Rao Hydari's maternal grandfather Rameshwara was the Raja of Wanaparthy J, a principality of Hyderabad. He was influenced by the socialist movement and became the first raja to give up his title. Nehruji was extremely fond of him and he was elected to the Lok Sabha many times. Her great grandfather from her father's side, Sir Akhbar Hydari, was the Prime Minister of the Nizam of Hyderabad and was instrumental in setting up the Osmania University. While her parents separated when she was just two years old, she certainly has royalty running through her blood from both her parents. It therefore was no surprise to us when we learnt that in the remake of the 1980 cult film Khubsoorat, the director, Shashanka Ghosh, has got the khoobsurat Aditi to do a cameo, where she plays a princess supposedly engaged to the hero of the film, Fawad Khan.
