Rajkumari Aditri Padmavatkar - Aditri grew up with a heart as gentle as the monsoon breeze. She was not a princess draped in jewels, but a girl whose grace lay in simplicity. She is a bookworm, the biggest animal lover and a peace-loving girl. Most of the time is spent either in the library or in the forest.
