After Sushmita Sen shared her perspective on the insider-outsider debate in Bollywood, Radhika Madan also talked about her experiences in the film industry. In a recent interview, the actress who’s worked in films like ‘Pataakha’, ‘Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota’ and ‘Angrezi Medium’ was quoted saying,
“Your job is to just ask for the audition, that is it. I literally went to the producers and asked them to let me audition. And that’s how I got roles, that’s how I got Pataakha, that’s how I got Angrezi. I literally went and said, ‘Can I audition?’ That is the most outsiders can do. You need to stop cribbing and start working on yourself.”
“There’s a situation, accept it and move on. Will it change? I don’t know. In the meantime though, can we just utilize this time by not complaining and working on ourselves. The issues have been put out, yes. I’m not denying it, let’s not run away from it. I’m not saying to not address the issue, it has been addressed. Everybody is aware, All I’m saying is to not put all your energies into it, but rather, work on yourself.”
Zoom quoted her adding,
“I did audition for Dharma. I gave them the worst audition of myself because I was so scared. I auditioned for Student of the Year, but I had got a fever and performed and I gave the worst audition of my life. So, I won’t blame a Dharma for not casting me. It was my call, I got an opportunity, but I didn’t perform and tagged myself out.”
In another interview with Hindustan Times, she acknowledged that there isn’t a fair playing field for outsiders. She said that star kids are groomed for the profession since the beginning while outsiders get only one chance after many years which is their “make or break”. The most they can do is give their 200% when they get an opportunity.
We love her go-getter attitude towards things beyond her control, don’t you?
