The Ahalya actress said, “Actors who want to do better their game, they have to more exercise, dress better, get clicked more, and do thingies on their faces. They don’t go for courses or for coaching, for performance you know because that’s not valued.”
Radhika Apte added, “They go like that’s a star kid, or this is a somebody being promoted by somebody, cast them, acting to karwa lenge. And then they say, actors are dumb, actors are the least, simplest thing to do. And I find it very annoying.”

A third comment read, “Acting tho karva Lenge is exactly why the industry is in shambles and no one except the SRKs and Sunny Deol’s and AKs cannot get block busters.” Another netizen commented, “These nepo kids can’t act for life and Apte knows it”. One user said, “This is the kind of badass woman we like. Not like that Kangu babe.” Another added, “Imagine if the audience is tired of these nepo kids and their mediocrity being given national awards and such, how much more the frustration must be for actors in the field having to be the contemporaries who actually suffer and are not given work based on merit alone.”
On the work front, Radhika Apte was last seen in Anushree Mehta’s spy comedy, Mrs Undercover. She will be next seen in Tisca Chopra’s murder mystery film.
