Aditi's parents separated when she was two years old, and she grew up between Hyderabad and Delhi with her mother.

She studied at the Rishi Valley School, run by the Krishnamurti Foundation.[15] Aditi later graduated from Lady Shri Ram College, University of Delhi.[16][17]

Aditi grew up around a lot of classical arts and started learning Bharatanatyam at age five and became a student of acclaimed dancer Leela Samson.[18] Aditi uses both of her parents' surnames and that’s what makes her name unique.[19]

Her first film to have a theatrical release, however, was the Malayalam film Prajapathi (), in which she starred alongside Mammootty.

She had been recommended to director Ranjith for the role by actress Suhasini, and was selected after the director managed to get in contact with her through Madhu Ambat, who was the cinematographer of Sringaram.[26] Hydari portrayed an orphan girl who falls in love with the character played by Mammootty, but her role was considered minimal, with a critic from Rediff stating she "has nothing to do with the overall plot".[27] In , she was cast by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra in his Hindi drama film, Delhi-6, where she portrayed a supporting role of an unmarried woman living in a community where spinsterhood was frowned upon.
