Radhika Apte

Theatre personality, Model, Dancer, Actress

“This wild child of Bollywood who prefers to walk the untrodden path is now an inspiration to a whole new generation of girls to make it big on their own terms.”

Few figures in the recent past have managed to capture the imagination of the entire nation and leave their mark with their superlative performances as Radhika Apte. However, her stint in Bollywood is just the tip of the iceberg. Radhika’s very life is the definition of eclectic. This live wire is undefinable, and it might start making sense once you know that she was home schooled, was trained in kathak and contemporary dance, and comes with a background in theatre. This wild child of Bollywood who prefers to walk the untrodden path is now an inspiration to a whole new generation of girls to make it big on their own terms. Having broken every single stereotype of the quintessential Bollywood heroine, her choice of bold characters, tiny bit meaningful roles and offbeat projects reveal the experimental side of her personality. It isn’t just her disarming smile or her fireball nature or her cheekiness or her bold views or her goofy attitude that makes her a runaway hit with people. With eyes that speak volumes and a smirk that can convey a hundred different emotions, it is quite evident that her tryst with theatre is the driving force behind her powerhouse performances. One of the forerunners of the new wave in Indian cinema which has surprised audiences and critics alike with excellent stories, life-like situations, absurd premises and natural acting, she has been instrumental in encouraging a new crop of talent that believes in the quality of content. We love how she has made it till here with sheer talent. And if our love for her is anything to go by, she is here to stay. We at Happenstance find ourselves in awe of this wonderful creature who never ceases to amaze, and we are absolutely delighted to have her on board.
