Actress Radhika Apte, who is being trolled for frequently featuring in the Indian projects of Netflix, doesn’t think her association with the streaming platform has been long and that the three series getting released around the same time was just a coincidence.

Radhika had three releases — Lust Stories, Sacred Games and Ghoul — this year on Netflix.

Twitterati started targeting the Phobia actress when the trailer of Ghoul, Netflix India’s first horror mini-series, got unveiled in July. One user wrote: “Radhika Apte is to Netflix what Alia Bhatt is to Dharma.”

Asked about her long association with Netflix, Radhika told IANS here: “It has not really been that long. ‘Sacred Games‘ was the only series that I knew was a Netflix original series. ‘Lust Stories‘ and ‘Ghoul’… when I shot them were not associated with Netflix. So this is just a great coincidence.

“Not just a coincidence, it’s a great opportunity that Netflix came on board and they decided to make it into a mini-series. I am so glad that it is a mini-series and not a film because there are certain things that (director) Patrick Graham really wanted to have in the project which… it was getting difficult because it was a timebound thing because of it being a film and I am so pleased that we could add that and make it into series.”

She feels that for a project like Ghoul, it’s better to have the streaming platform on board as it has a wide reach.
