The name Radhika Apte reminds us of profound, unique and some elegant performances. The actor, who was seen in a small role in Vaah! Life Ho Toh Aisi has certainly come a long way. She has been around for over a decade with her selection of roles and her turning into a style muse, making headlines.
Her Acting Graph
She has delivered classy acts in films like Shor in the City, Badlapur, Hunterr, Manjhi, Kabali, Parched and Padman. Her short films including Ahalya and Phobia left many wondering where she was all this while. Radhika has also become a vital part of Netflix India by being a part of two of Netflix series- Sacred Games and Ghoul.
When asked in an interview whether her unconventional choice of films was a certain strategy or a plan, the actor said, ‘I don’t have a strategy nor do I work with plans. If somebody approaches me with a script that I like, I just do it.’
She further said, ‘There are many reasons why I chose a film. Mainly it’s the script that would make me chose a film. Sometimes I chose it because I need the popularity. Sometimes it could be for the money or maybe I just love the character so I am doing it. A spiced-up multi starter film can be really enjoyable. So I would definitely want to do it. I always insist on reading the script and then I decide if I like the stars, the money or the script. I haven’t restricted myself to doing this or that. I just have a few principles and not evading those, I am open to everything else. I want to do everything.’
Her Fashion Sense
We all have an individual style that defines our persona through our clothes in some way. We’ve always valued people who carry their vibe through their dressing sense as it helps you stand out from the rest. And by the looks of it, Radhika Apte seems to be one Basic AF chick! There is an inexplicable sexiness that comes unsurprisingly to her. Be it her unblemished dusky complexion or her dark tresses, Apte’s natural beauty has us crushing on her, hard.
The actor once said, ‘Clothes that make me feel good about myself, and allow me to be myself without much caring.’ Her official fashion tagline is ‘Choose simplicity over flashy.’
While admitting that her insight about style changes every day, Radhika said, ‘I have my own style and I really believe in comfort. I love monotone colours and simple kind of stuff. I do have my own style statement, which I really like.’
Her Personal Life
Daughter to a pair of doctors, acting was not the conventional choice for Radhika. She chose to take up a field that wasn’t very familiar, at the same time, filled with struggle. Radhika then took up a course in London where she met her then boyfriend, now husband. Shifting from Pune to Mumbai for an acting career soon proved beneficial and Radhika today is in the list of some of the most enviable production houses.
Plus her personal life has been successful outside the radar. She has managed to keep her craft as the main point of discussion, even a photo clicked by a paparazzi is rare. It seems like this girl knows where to keep the focus on.
Radhika Apte is an extraordinary example of an actor who pulls off a poise between critical and effortless lifestyle whether it is her image, her films or her style. We wish her a very Happy Birthday and good luck for her five upcoming projects- Baazar, Bombairiya, Indian-American fantasy thriller The Ashram, Tamil film Ula and Andhadhun.
