Aditi had studied in Delhi and Mussorie before earning her management degree from Duke University in the United States.
Though she was able to win her seat, the Congress-Samajwadi Party (SP) alliance received a terrible blow from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the 2017 state polls.
The BJP had won more than 300 seats to wrest power in the northern state, ousting then Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi government.
