Aditi Govitrikar reveals she felt envious of Priyanka Chopra, Lara Dutta and Dia Mirza receiving grand prizes like house and car: ‘Lara was the sweetest though’

The model and former Mrs. India, Aditi Govitrikar, recently shared her experiences in the entertainment industry with India Today Digital, reflecting on her journey and a memorable interaction with Dia Mirza, Lara Dutta, and Priyanka Chopra. Aditi, who started her career in modeling, won the Mrs. India title in 2000 – the same year Priyanka, Lara, and Dia secured major pageant victories. Following her success, Aditi ventured into acting and even earned a PhD.
Recalling her modeling days, Aditi mentioned how she, Priyanka, Lara, and Dia began their journeys together in the modeling world and later won their respective titles in the same year. Despite their achievements being celebrated differently, they shared a unique bond.

Aditi noted that while Priyanka, Lara, and Dia received grand prizes like houses, cars, and other gifts, she, as Mrs. India, only got a bouquet of flowers. Playfully, she admitted feeling envious of their prizes. Lara, known for her humor, lightened the moment by joking that she wished for what Aditi had – a husband and a bouquet. Aditi retorted with laughter, saying she had hoped for the house and keys instead. “Lara was the sweetest and the funniest though,” she said.

Aditi also highlighted a full-circle moment in her career. She revealed that her role as Rohit Saraf’s mother in Mismatched Season 3 marked a special connection to her past. She had first noticed Rohit in The Sky Is Pink, where Priyanka Chopra played his mother. Now, she was stepping into a similar role, weaving a nostalgic thread between her past and present.
