Radhika Apte discusses how she has lost roles to “younger actresses”

• One of Bollywood’s most gifted actors is Radhika Apte
• She is currently busy promoting her Netflix-airing movie Monica, O My Darling
• Along with Rajkummar Rao and Huma Qureshi, Apte plays the lead in this movie

Apte discussed how she feels the same way about losing commercial roles to younger performers throughout the ongoing film promotions.

Ageism as seen by Radhika Apte

Before delving into the specifics of what she stated, let’s review what Apte said earlier this year that made news. In an interview with Hindustan Times from earlier in 2022, Radhika said, “What I’m truly battling with is (being unable) to combat age, especially in the industry with people going through surgeries. I have so many coworkers who have undergone several operations to alter their bodies and features.

When Radhika was recently questioned about getting rejected since the other actors are given more credit, she responded, “There’s truth to this, but it becomes sensationalised and it changes its tone. It is undeniable that people prefer younger females in larger commercial productions; they simply prefer a younger or more traditional look. There have been times when you’ve been informed that you lack something and that it is necessary. The number of procedures performed by people is visible. There is an image that we are pursuing that many women are struggling against, not just in India but all around the world.

Brand advertising, among other things, according to Radhika Apte
The actor stated, “Brands are promoting men and women of all ages, sizes, and it’s occurring. I hope things get better over time. But it’s true that I have struggled with that in the past and that I know many others who have. People give in to it and start doing things to themselves, but it is up to you. It’s a really precarious position, continued Radhika, and it’s never happened to her before.
