Mumbai: Radhika Madan who was seen in Irrfan Khan starer Angrezi Medium, revealed that she had to buy a contraceptive pill during the first shoot of her career. Radhika imagined flowers and leaves falling around her and people applauding her for the first shoot, but it was nothing like that. She even gave a brief on her parents reaction to it.

In an interview with leading daily, Radhika told, "For my first shot, I had to buy a contraceptive pill.Talking about her parents reaction to it, she said, "It was funny because my parents had flown in from Delhi to surprise me. My father got awkward, wondering what he'd tell people when they asked him about the shoot. I had imagined leaves and flowers falling around and people applauding when I completed my first shot, but it wasn't like that. It was over in just two-three takes. Afterwards, my parents took me out for a celebratory dinner and made such a big deal about the whole thing.”

Radhika further added that she had dreams of making a grand Bollywood debut but her perception completely changed toward the film industry. She praised the director of her two Mard Ko Dard Nai Hota and Pataakha , Vasan and Vishal Bhardwaj respectively, as they helped in changing her perception.

Reminiscing her audition days for Pataakha after the schedule of Mard Ko Dard Nai Hota, she said that she got a call from Vishal , they met, he sent her the script, she rehearsed and went to his office. And during the audition, Vishal asked her if she would get fat and tanned to which she instantly agreed.

Thankfully I didn't faint when I actually received it..I just stood there for a few seconds soaking it all in, teary-eyed, in gratitude."
