As doors of movie sets remained shut during the pandemic, Radhika Apte says she opened up to her purpose of being an actor. “I didn’t come here to be a star. I came here because I really liked to perform,” she says, confessing to becoming a victim of the rat’s race, and losing sight of her purpose over her career spanning 15 years.
“Every freelance industry is a vulnerable place. You get insecure and agree to do work because sitting idle becomes difficult. The thought of not working is scary. But, the pandemic was an eye-opener,” says Apte, who now wishes to give her nod to projects that genuinely excite her.
