Radhika Apte’s content-rich films and projects have taken her far. The actress is known for being outspoken. She recently revisited a statement about losing roles to younger actresses.
Radhika said she never fell for the trap and that her words were sensationalized because the industry is improving for men and women. She never had cosmetic surgery.

When asked if she was rejected because of her looks or a younger actress, she said no. People want younger actresses in bigger commercial films, she said.  “There have been days where you are told that ‘yeah you don’t have xyz’ and we need xyz. You can see the amount of surgeries people do. There is an image that we are chasing and not just in India, across the globe, which a lot of women are fighting against it.”

The ‘Andhadun’ actress said she struggled with that initially but never gave in, calling it a very vulnerable position’
Radhika recently starred with Rajkummar Rao and Huma Qureshi in Monica, O My Darling.
