Radhika Apte has opened up about her critically acclaimed role in Leena Yadav's Parched and said that the role came to her when she "needed" it. At the same time, she has also spoken about the time a nude video went viral and rumours flew that the woman in the video was her. The clip in question was from Radhika's film, Clean Shaven. “I really needed a role like this (Parched) 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. When a nude clip of mine leaked, while I was filming Clean Shaven, I was trolled badly, and it did affect me. I couldn’t step out of the house for four days, not because of what the media was saying but because my driver, watchman, and my stylist’s driver recognised me from the images," the actress told a lifestyle and fashion magazine.
"The controversial photographs were bare-skinned selfies, and anyone with a sane eye would have guessed it wasn’t me. I don't think there is anything one can do, or one should do, but ignore it. Anything else is a waste of your time. So, when I stripped for Parched, I realised: ‘There’s nothing left for me to hide'," she added. Radhika, a critics favourite, was last seen in OK Computer opposite Vijay Varma and Jackie Shroff.
