Throwback to our amazing IFFM 2025 Awards Night!
Aditi Rao Hydari stole the spotlight at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) 2025 awards night by bringing her iconic Heeramandi character to life. While accepting the Diversity in Cinema Award, she thrilled fans by recreating her viral "Gajagamini" walk right on the Melbourne stage. Clad in a regal outfit, her graceful performance and emotional speech instantly became the most talked-about, viral highlight of the star-studded evening.
