Beauty pageants like Miss India, Miss Universe, and others have always served as gateways for models to venture into acting. However, have you ever heard of an actress, despite achieving success in both modelling and acting, quitting it all to pursue higher education? If not, let us tell you about the remarkable journey of Aditi Arya Kotak, an actress who has made people swoon over her looks. She competed in Miss India, won the title, worked in Telugu films, and made her Bollywood debut opposite Ranveer Singh. Surprisingly, she left it all behind to focus on higher education.
Born on September 18, 1993, Aditi hails from a humble background. She was born in Chandigarh and studied at Sacred Heart Senior Secondary School before moving to Gurgaon. Even before stepping into the world of glitz and glamour, Aditi earned her bachelor’s degree in finance and business studies from Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies. She later enrolled in the Indian School of Business through their Young Leaders Programme and completed her MBA at the prestigious Yale School of Management.
In 2015, Aditi entered the world of glamour and was crowned the winner of the fbb Femina Miss India World 2015 on March 28, 2015, in Mumbai. After winning the title, she represented India at the 65th edition of the Miss World pageant the same year.

However, 83 turned out to be her last film. In 2021, she moved to the United States to pursue an MBA at Yale University, completing her studies in May 2023.
In 2024, Aditi tied the knot with Jay Kotak, the son of Indian billionaire banker Uday Kotak, who has a net worth of USD 13 billion. Aditi is now the co-founder of Alum-n-i, a platform designed to help students access global education opportunities.
