Mumbai: Actor Radhika Madan, who will be seen playing Kartika, a practical woman in the upcoming film Shiddat, has said that in real life she is completely opposite. While talking about her craft, frivolousness of the industry and Shiddat, the actor also shared that when in love, she is 'all out there' as there is no in-between.
Madan, who began her career in TV in 2014 with the popular show Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi before switching to films with Bhardwaj's Pataakha and Bala's Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, believes she has grown into a better person in the last few years. Leaving a successful career at the peak also prepared her to navigate Bollywood. The actor said she is today as much a part of the industry as she is at a distance from its "frivolousness."
"When I was leaving TV, I was told that fame comes fast on TV and goes away with the same speed. I would ask myself, while I was working on TV, why would I want to attach myself to something that is so temporary. Isn't that self-sabotaging? When I left the TV, I didn't realise when the fame went away. Until someone pointed out to me that, 'Oh you are not being recognised at airports.' But I felt fine," Radhika told a newswire.
She realised that it was a conscious effort from her end to not get attached to temporary things. "That has helped me in the movie industry as well, not to be attached with frivolousness or the image people create for you. All these years in the industry have flipped me as a person. I have grown a lot, matured."
