Career
At a young age, she joined theatre and started learning acting skills from there. She was also a part of Prithvi theatre. Also, popular theatre director Satyadev Dubey requested Makrand Deshpande to mentor her career as a performer at Mumbai’s theatre.
Aaditi Pohankar made her first Bollywood drama film ‘Love Sex Aur Dhoka‘ in 2010. In 2011
Aaditi appeared in the Marathi film Kunisathi Kunitari with other Marathi actors Ashok Sharaf, Smita Jaykar, and Poonam Dhillon.
Pohankar began her career in theatre and had her first film role in Kunasathi Kunitari. She was spotted by director Nishikant Kamat when he saw Makarand’s play Time Boy in Mumbai, where the actress starred as a seven-year-old boy.
Kamat made her go through two days of screen tests for a role in his Marathi film Lai Bhaari (2014) and cast her opposite Riteish Deshmukh after being impressed with her temperament.
Pohankar revealed that during the shoot, Kamat gave her the liberty to do what she wanted as an actress and to get into her character, she visualized herself as “an evil person“.
Lai Bhaari opened to positive reviews, with Pohankar’s villainous character receiving praise. The film went on to become one of the highest-grossing Marathi films.
In 2017, Pohankar starred alongside Atharvaa in the Tamil film Gemini Ganeshanum Suruli Raajanum.
Three years later, Pohankar starred in the Netflix web series She (2020), playing a police constable used as a honeytrap.
Pohankar was “riveting” in the role, adding that she successfully “unlocks her character’s complexity”.
Later in 2020, she starred in Aashram, playing the role of a young wrestler who is attracted to the seemingly democratic setup of the ashram, upon learning that her being a Dalit is keeping her from success due to casteism.
She gained wider attention for her roles in the Hindi web series She and Aashram (both 2020–present). For this role, she was trained by wrestler Sangram Singh.
A reviewer for IANS opined, “Aaditi Pohankar’s zestful Pammi stands out for the way the actress traces the character arc.

Controversy

Aaditi Pohankar stated that her name is being unnecessarily dragged into this fiasco. She feels that it was a “cheap publicity stunt“.
Aaditi Pohankar also asked questions like who is Diet Sabya, and is it even a legal firm? They did not even bother to call her before slamming her.
After getting praise from the audience for her work she is being slammed and it troubles her as she has just started out her career.

The designer’s friends too started bombarding the actor with their cuss words. She stated that this is an example of getting bullied.
Netflix series SHE became a talking point due to its bold intimate scenes.
When asked if there were any apprehensions she felt while performing the intimate scenes in SHE, Aaditi told IndiaToday.in, “Basically, I approached it from Bhoomi’s mind.
That’s it. So, if Bhoomi is feeling the need to do this, then I know why she is feeling the need to do this.
The whole idea of the series is that a woman realizes her power through her sexuality, and sexuality is nothing but something that she has discovered within herself, which is not a bad thing.
So, when you talk about this [the need for intimate scenes], it automatically makes me, as an actor, realize who Bhoomi is.”
