Actress Radhika Madan, who has starred in a couple of Bollywood films recently, took a trip down memory lane to revisit her struggling days and shared some interesting stories. In an interview with News18, the actress revealed that in her early days, people used to say that her jaw was crooked, and she didn’t look beautiful.
“I was told that I’m not pretty enough and that my jaw is slightly ‘tedha’ (crooked). I was quite surprised because I had Kareena Kapoor in my head. Maybe they couldn’t see it, but ‘ek achchi johori ko heera dikh hi jaata hai,'” she told the news channel.
She further mentioned that she reads all the articles written about her, and when she comes across negative comments, she just laughs them off. She also revealed that she used to be affected by negativity in the past and wanted to prove herself and change misconceptions. Radhika added that she has now developed a thick skin.
Radhika was most recently seen in the film “Sajini Shinde Ka Viral Video,” which revolves around a case of cyber security breach. Speaking about online safety, Radhika Madan told Hindustan Times in an interview, “For me, social media is like putting on a mask. It’s the only validation we seek in life. I know people who say, ‘I can’t follow you on social media because you don’t have a certain number of followers.’ It’s extremely sad because that’s their perception. It’s time to realize that we are much more than the number of followers. We are letting social media control our lives when it should be the other way around.”
On the work front, Radhika will next be seen alongside Akshay Kumar in the Hindi remake of “Soorarai Pottru.” She also has “Sanaa” in the pipeline, which also features Pooja Bhatt, Sohum Shah, and Shikha Talsania.
