Radhika Apte Calls A Certain Director A****le, Also Recounts A Drunken Date
Neha Dhupia might deliver her first baby any minute, but she continues to dish out very interesting episodes of NoFilterNeha. The one with Radhika Apte has startling revelations. Check it out right here
Radhika Apte’s worst date:
When I went to England, I went on one date. I mean the guy is wonderful, we’re very good friends, he wasn’t bad, it was me because it was a rebound. We went on this date and we got really hammered. Oh my God I was so drunk! At one point, I kept my head on the table because I was so drunk and he left, he went to the loo. And I thought he went and I got up and I left
Bombay made Radhika Apte depressed at one point
I came to Bombay initially, alone. Then I went back to Pune because I got too depressed because I was here for 7-8 months, I was staying with people that I didn’t get along with and I was doing theatre which was in town so it was that commute every day, which is fine, that was the only good time, the theatre time that I had. But I had no good friends. I wanted to do films and I didn’t know a single soul, I didn’t know any casting director, I didn’t know anybody! I didn’t know where to start from. So, I’d wake up and feel what do I do? Whom should I call? Where do I go? So, I realized I need to be around people who make me a bit happy and don’t make me feel so useless.

Radhika Apte With Neha Dhupia At No Filter Neha
Radhika Apte’s weird audition experience
I don’t remember the name of the director because it was just an audition of a film that never happened. Oh my God, it was so dramatic. I came back from London and these guys said that they wanted to do a film, Vikram the south Indian actor is going to be in it, it’s going to be massive and it’s a period drama. So, they called me down south and said we’ll give you a hotel, you come here for one day, the director wants to audition you. I’m not even exaggerating okay, I’m not even joking, this is exactly what happened…this director was some asshole, I can’t even remember his name, they got me a room which was a bizarre room! It was such a cheap hotel, I could not believe. And I’ve not gone to South India or any industry where they’ve treated me like that. So I go to them and said I need to go back tonight, I can’t stay here. Then the director came and said ‘just want to see you in different poses’. I said I don’t know what that means so he just showed me some dance poses, thankfully. And with him, a bunch of people came in the room, all men, with cameras. And they were like they’re going to click pictures and I couldn’t quite understand where this was going, what was happening. That got over and he said we have to get your measurements with masterji and again some 12 people came in and took my pictures in that little blouse and the period costume that they’d given me. They’re clicking pictures of me and I don’t even know where those pictures are! It wasn’t that anybody touched me or said anything sexual, it’s just that what was happening was not okay.
Radhika Apte At No Filter Neha
Radhika Apte’s bizarre non-payment story:
Radhika Apte At No Filter Neha
I’m pretty no nonsense and it comes across quite obviously and this one was like a really big, big star. I had heard a lot of things about him. But on the set, I witnessed him spanking women left right and center! I freaked out and gave it back to him on the first day and he was extremely respectful from that day on. Older women, younger women, assistants of choreographers, he would just hold them by the waist when they’re crossing him and they’re just trying to escape.
Radhika's opinion on social media:
I don’t hate social media at all, I just don’t love it. It has a place in my life, my daily life more than my “life” and I’m appreciative of that space, it’s given me a lot. It has given me my bread and butter in many ways. It’s just that I think getting involved in social media too much is not good for my mental health. It’s not good for anybody’s mental health.
He used to play a prank on me almost every day. So basically, on April Fool’s day I was like wait, now I’m going to play a prank on you and he’s like haha we’ll see. And then with Sir Balki he did this to me because he knows my weakness that if a director is panicking or there’s a time limit or you need a shot desperately, I’m like a machine. I’ll do anything. I’m not chilled out on set. So, he (Sir Balki) was like the sun is going Radhika, the sun is going, we really need to get this shot. He said just climb on the wall and I want you to run from this corner to that corner. And I was like WHAT? He’s like ya ya it’s a montage, just go. I climbed up and he’s like okay now run! And I was like there’s no camera Sir Balki..I said where is the camera? he said it’s there, it’s behind the tree and I said there’s no camera behind the tree. And he’s like Radhika we’re losing light, please run! And I had to run. So I ran like an idiot on this wall and Akshay couldn’t stop laughing and everyone was filming!
I’m really good with rejections and I’m not very attached, I wish I was like this in my personal life. I’m not attached when the work is over. I knew that I was going to die from the beginning. So, it’s like so detached in my head that even if it’s so successful I go like greaaat!
Saif or Akshay - Who is a better co-star?:
Definitely Akshay comes on time more than Saif but Akshay is on time in comparison to anyone I’ve worked with!
Who needs a new stylist?:
I think Ranveer Singh. It’s because he can carry anything so he should get a new stylist every day and get some more inspiring looks every day
