Radhika Apte, known for her roles in films and web series such as 'Pad Man,' 'Andhadhun,' 'Badlapur,' 'Ghoul,' and 'Sacred Games,' among others, recently opened up about doing the film 'Parched,' in which she played the role of a sex worker, and spoke about a 'nude' video from her film 'Clean Shaven,' which went viral on.
"The controversial photographs were bare-skinned selfies, and anyone with a sane eye would have guessed it wasn't me. I don't think there is anything one can do, or one should do, but ignore it. Anything else is a waste of your time. So, when I stripped for Parched, I realized: 'There's nothing left for me to hide'." added Radhika.
Radhika had this to say about Badlapur
"Badlapur was sort of right in between for me because it had a lot of content and it was also for the normal audience and so I think, people saw me in a different light. It was barely a seven-day job, but it was fulfilling. What’s nice is when you have a smaller role, but people still talk about your performance. I find that particularly rewarding." She added, "So, I think things started changing slowly after Badlapur, which turned out to be a massive turning point in my career."
Radhika is currently in London with her husband due to travel restrictions and a lockdown in India during the second wave of COVID-19. Radhika was most recently seen in the Disney+HotStar film 'OK Computer,' alongside Vijay Varma and Jackie Shroff.
