New Delhi. Bollywood actress Radhika Apte is known for her outspoken opinions and challenging characters. She often openly reveals her experiences and the truth of the industry in films. Recently he has shared the experience of one of the most difficult characters of his career. Radhika told that in a Telugu film she had to play the character of a girl who is married to her own maternal uncle. The story of this film and the circumstances of the character were so uncomfortable for him that he started hating everything during the shooting. After this revelation by the actress, her old character has once again come into discussion.
Actually, these days Radhika Apte is busy promoting her film Akka with actress Keerthy Suresh. Meanwhile, while talking in a program, he told about some difficult experiences of his film journey. He said that he had worked in a Telugu film in which his character was to be married to her maternal uncle. According to Radhika, this was a very difficult role for her. The actor who played her maternal uncle's role in the film was much older than her and she also had to romance him.
Radhika told that this whole situation was very uncomfortable for her. He described this story as linked to patriarchal thinking. According to the actress, her character in the film was shown in a situation where her own choices and feelings did not matter much. She had to do romantic scenes with an actor much older in age. This was the reason why this role became mentally and emotionally challenging for him.
During the conversation, Radhika also told that her character dies later in the story of the film. She jokingly said that during the entire shooting she kept thinking about when her character would die. There was also a scene in the film where the male character throws them and then takes action. Radhika told that it was not at all easy for her to work in such circumstances.
The actress has also expressed her opinion about apartheid in the South Indian film industry. Recently in a conversation with Galata India, she said that in South Indian films, North Indian actresses are often given preference because of their fair complexion. According to Radhika, North Indian actresses were cast in some films only because their complexion is fair. His statement has once again sparked debate on color discrimination and set standards of beauty in the film industry.

However, it is clear from his revelation that the story seen on screen and the personal experiences of the actors are sometimes completely different. While playing a character which the audience sees only as a film story, the artist may have to go through many uncomfortable situations. This experience of Radhika brings this thing to the fore.
