Actress, Radhika Apte made her debut in Bollywood when she first appeared in a small role in the film, Vaah! Life Ho Toh Aisi! in 2005. Since then, she has not looked back and has made a successful career for herself in the film industry. With more than two decades of experience under her belt, she has starred in a number of hit films, including Badlapur, Pad Man, Phobia, Parched, and more.
Today, Radhika is widely known for her strong screen presence and fearless choices, be it in Bollywood or in regional cinema. However, not everything in her decades-long career in the film industry was easy. In a recent interview, the actress spoke about her early experiences working in South Indian films. While she praised the industry for consistently delivering strong films for viewers to enjoy, she also recalled an uncomfortable incident she faced as the only woman on a film set in that region.
