Radhika Apte speaks up on her learning from the lockdown

In the fear of missing out, actress Radhika Apte has realized that she was working a lot. Now she has determined that she won’t take up work under pressure. She realized this when the world was facing the pandemic crises and was under lock down due to the same.

In a Zoom conversation with a news portal, Radhika said, “I realised that I’m grateful to get a lot of work and I have chosen work only when I wanted to do it. But there were a lot of other things I was doing with work, which are part of work and are a part of my job. I was doing these just out of FOMO”.

 “I did so just because I didn’t want to miss out or just because others were doing it. In this time, when no one was doing anything, I was really chilled. I didn’t want to do it either,” she added.

The actress continued: “I realised, ‘Oh, I wanted to do it because others were doing it. If others don’t do it, I don’t want to do it’. So, just to distinguish between what you really want to do and what you’re doing out of pressure — that’s what I’ve learned in these few months and I don’t want to do things out of pressure anymore. Let’s see how long that lasts.”

Radhika made her debut in the film industry with a small role in the 2005 release “Vaah! Life Ho Toh Aisi!”. She then continued to do films like “Shor In The City”, “Kabali”, “Phobia”, “Badlapur” and the short film “Ahalya”.

She had broken the stereotypical image of the Bollywood heroine with the characters that she has essayed in “Phobia”, “Badlapur”, “Manjhi: The Mountain Man”, “Lust Stories”, “Sacred Games”, “Pad Man” and “Ghoul”.
