Actor Radhika Madan was last seen in the film Angrezi Medium alongside Irrfan Khan. The film did not work wonders due to lockdown but the actor received praise for her acting skills. But little does one about Radhika Madan’s early days, the actor recently opened up about her initial days in Bollywood.

In a recent interview with a leading news portal, Radhika Madan revealed that during the first shoot of her career, she had to consume a contraceptive pill. She recalled saying that it was hilarious because her parents had come down from Delhi to surprise her. And when she told her parents about it, her father got very awkward. She also said that he kept wondering what he would tell people about her daughter’s shoot.

Radhika Madan also said that she had imagined flowers and leaves falling around her and people cheering and applauding for her when she completed my first shot, but it was nothing like that. Radhika Madan also said that she had dreams of making a grand Bollywood debut but her perception completely changed toward the film industry. She also praised the director of her two films Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota and Pataakha, Vasan and Vishal Bhardwaj, as they helped her change her perception.
