Radhika Apte, one of the most critically acclaimed actors of recent times, has been trending on Twitter since Friday morning after nude pics of her from her film 'Parched' go viral. She is known for her roles in films and web series such as 'Pad Man,' 'Andhadhun,' 'Badlapur,' 'Ghoul,' and 'Sacred Games,' among others.
Radhika's lovemaking moments with Adil Hussain and Tannishtha Chatterjee are among the images that have leaked online.
When anything goes wrong in the country, the awakened celebrities rush to publish images of themselves carrying banners, but when it comes to one of them, they stay tight-lipped, according to Twitter users. While some users noted that B-town has remained silent on the Raj Kundra porn case. Others said that Radhika's lovemaking sequences in the film 'Parched' were against our culture.
In May, Radhika came up about her part as a sex worker in the film 'Parched,' as well as a 'nude' video from her film 'Clean Shaven,' which went popular on the internet at the time, with rumours claiming she was in it.
"I really needed a role like this because when you're in Bollywood you're constantly told what to do with your body and I always maintained that I would never do anything to my body or face," Radhika told Grazia magazine about how the film "Parched" came to her at a time when she needed it the most and addressed the controversy surrounding the nude clip.
When a naked video of mine was leaked when I was filming Clean Shaven, I was severely trolled, and it had a negative impact on me. For four days, I couldn't leave the home, not because of what the media was reporting, but because my driver, watchman, and stylist's driver recognised me from the photos.”
Radhika went on to say, "The pics were bare-skinned selfies, and anyone with a reasonable eye could see it wasn't me. I don't believe there is much one can or should do about it other than ignoring it. Anything else would be a waste of time. 'There's nothing left for me to hide,' I realised as I stripped for Parched.”
Adil Hussain said in June that he and Radhika had a naked, lovemaking scene in the film. He's also revealed information of their daring and personal moment, as well as what they spoke about before performing it.
Adil gushed about his co-star in an interview with a leading daily.. "Radhika has made a commitment to art, which everyone should recognise. What counts to individuals like her and me is art, not what others will say "he stated.
"In that scene, I was almost naked. I don't mind such situations as long as they aren't done to arouse one's lower senses. I have no objections to such situations if they are intended to depict the complexity of human life "Adil said. He also stated that his wife had no objections to the nudist scene since she respects his career and trusts his sensibilities.
On the professional front, Radhika will feature in Vasan Bala's 'Monica, O My Darling,' with Rajkummar Rao, and in the spy comedy 'Mrs. Undercover.'
