During the crises, Aditi persistently stood by her family. After his demise, Aditi shared an emotional note on social media on her sister Arzoo Govitrikar’s birthday quoting,
  

  It’s not been the easiest of times losing our world – dad – this month. I envy your inner strength and the person you are. The way you’ve kept the family together through these tough times and more. A true woman who’s beautiful inside out. Wishing our pillar of strength a very happy birthday @arzoogovitrikarr”.

• Aditi was tested positive for COVID-19 in September 2020. A few days ago, Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor were also tested positive for COVID-19. Reportedly, Malaika happened to be at Aditi’s residence two weeks before they tested positive as Aditi organised a get together at her house in Bandra on 27 August 2020. So, Aditi quarantined herself at her home. She had a mild body ache. It is said that her building was also sealed by BMC as a precautionary measure.

• According to Aditi, she had once passed up a chance to enter the film industry. She recalled her participation in the Gladrags Mega Model Contest, where Yash Chopra, one of the judges, had invited her for a meeting; however, Aditi chose to convey her disinterest in appearing in films by sending a message to Yash’s office.
