On certain days, it can get difficult, because acting is about being naked emotionally. There are days when you are feeling empty, but the scene demands you to go through a cathartic experience. That's why I like to know what my schedule for a particular film is beforehand.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
It's not just about looking shocked if the scene demands it. It's about feeling that emotion. You can't lie to the camera, because it captures everything. This is what I have learnt over the years.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
The image of an actor plays a huge role in deciding if he or she can experiment with roles.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
There is no set way of getting a role - you don't give an exam, score well, and then nail a film.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
I think if a Swiss watch can come to the country and have their own corporate stores, a Pakistani actor should come here and do a film here in India.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
We have so many male superstars, but there are just a few female actors who have attained that status. It is not only because of the industry; it's in the society.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
The menstruation taboo is ancient, and there are so many theories about it. For some, it is fear of blood, and for some, period blood is toxic. If you read the theories about menstruation, you might even laugh.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
I do films because there is an audience out there. It doesn't matter if they're Indian, American, or European.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
Though I have achieved a little bit in my career, I have to continue working hard.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
When I was really young, I was obsessed with Bollywood. Then I got exposed to world cinema, and I wanted to be a part of it. Then I was exposed to theatre, and I only wanted to do theatre.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
If you are an industry kid, the first film is given to you on a platter. However, the pressure and expectations are immense.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
I feel that discrimination and hierarchy is something that people have to face constantly.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
I would like to be part of sensible cinema, irrespective of whether it is a commercial or niche film, but it doesn't always pan out like that.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
For an actor, it is necessary to vegetate and look for inspiration. I get that from travelling, meeting people, and observing things around me. I bring back my energy by gaining different experiences.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
Initially, I did South Indian films because I needed the money; I had a huge student loan that I had to pay off. But I do feel that Marathi, English, and Hindi are what I'm more comfortable with.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
I usually take up short films when I am not tied up with feature films. Short films are easier to work on... because it doesn't take much of your time. The number of shoot days are lesser as compared to feature films.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
Yes, I will sign a film for the money. Because sometimes you don't have the money to eat, and you have to get work and maintain a lifestyle. Not just actors - I think everybody does that. No job on this planet is about 100 per cent satisfaction. You do some part of the job for money.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
Look after all those lovely peculiarities in your face, your body, and yourself.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
I don't do much for skin. Just drink water, try to get proper sleep, exercise, sweat it out, keep it moisturised, and most importantly, clean. That's basically what I do.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
I did quite a lot of research for 'Phobia' because it's a very sensitive topic, so I couldn't have just faked it.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
I do get a lot of offers for endorsing a brand, but for me, the credibility of the brand matters the most.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
Bollywood is a business more than an art industry. One has to play the game others play to carve your own path.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
I don't follow norms in my life. They don't make sense to me. I do whatever I feel or what makes me happy and feels right.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
I did 'Padman' not only because of its social message. I did it because it was a good story.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
All I can say is that, as an industry, we are trying to come together and find a way of constructively making a system where we all have a safe environment, and it's going on. I am part of that, and I hope that we come up with a constructive system which is equal and genderless for every human being.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
'Vetri Selvan' is the first film where I play a conventional romantic role, which I found very challenging.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
I think jokes on colour or body shaming shouldn't be made. It's not funny to crack such jokes.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
I don't think that independent or off-beat films are not commercial, nor do I want to categorise them. At the end of the day, what matters is how much you compromise to please the masses. But, I am not someone who loves compromising. If there's a lot to give up on things that matter to me, I start losing interest.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
I find it very important to keep learning because, as an actor, you get exhausted. You need more emotion, more experience... you need something to base everything on.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
Gender discrimination is not the only form of discrimination one has to deal with.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
I do social media largely for work because I want to be a part of different activities. In India, that's how you make money, so I do it as my job.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
I don't mind doing genre roles as long as they offer me something substantial.
Quote by -Radhika Apte
If you go to Canada or Los Angeles, you will get to see many South Asians there, but on screens, they are so less in number. It is abnormal not to have much South Asians on screens.
