The actor, who is currently under self-isolation in London along with British musician husband Benedict Taylor, spoke with 'detachment' as she captioned the post, "Going to take a pair of scissors and chop the length.

While this may be something productive that the actor has decided to do during the lockdown, she has also been a part of an interesting initiative called 'Aage Ki Soch'. Earlier last month, Radhika had shared a video-- a collaboration of many Indian artists-- which urged people to use the time under lockdown for something productive and creative.

The video aimed to encourage the nation's youth to spend this time at home and use it productively to engage in activities that will upskill their existing knowledge base and prepare them for the new world after the COVID-19 crisis subsides. It's written and composed by Dil Hai Hindustani winner Akshay Dhawan and Shashwant Singh.

In an interaction with a national daily, Radhika said that #AageKiSoch is a great solution to utilise time under lockdown in the best way possible and to encourage people to work on their skills. She also revealed that she would be learning something new as well while she urged that people should do the same and look at indoor activities which they have always been wanting to do. The actor said that the initiative is a fantastic idea so that once the lockdown is over, one is set to take on the world.
