Aditi played the role of Alauddin Khilji’s queen in this Sanjay-Leela Bhansali movie that was released in 2018. Her character, Mehrunissa, was compassionate and heartbroken. The actress's subtle and restrained enactment of Mehrunissa mesmerised critics and fans. "Aditi Rao Hydari stands her ground as the naive Mehrunissa who gets a rude awakening when she discovers her husband Alauddin’s true nature. Jim Sarbh is somewhat misplaced as the Sultan’s slave-general, unable to generate enough menace to overshadow his master’s own. Nonetheless, the ensemble moves well in tune with Bhansali’s vision of this larger-than-life retelling," said ET's review of the movie.
