Radhika Madan’s Big Revelation: Bought ‘Contraceptive Pill' for the First Shot of Film Career

Former television personality and a former dance instructor from New Delhi, Radhika Madan has successfully paved her way into the movies. She made her debut in 2018 with Vishal Bhardwaj's film Pataakha, which was well received by the critics. She also went on to impress the audience with her film, Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota alongside debutante Abhimanyu Dassani, who is the son of actress Bhagyashree.

Interestingly, while Radhika made her debut with Pataakha, Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota was technically her first film as she completed shooting for it before Pataakha. In a recent interview with Mumbai Mirror, the actress opens up about the first shot of her career and makes a big revelation!

Radhika revealed that she had to take a contraceptive pill for the very first shot of her career. "For my first shot, I had to buy a contraceptive pill. 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” she shared.

She also reveals how she got the film Pataakha. “I had auditioned for Pataakha right after the first schedule of MKDNH and after the second schedule, while I was in Goa, I got a call that Vishal sir wanted to meet me the next day. He sent me the script, I rehearsed at the airport and went directly to his office. He just asked me two things after the audition—Will I agree to get fat and tanned? I said ‘yes’, Radhika said.

On the work front, Radhika was recently seen in Angrezi Medium also starring Irrfan Khan, Deepak Dobriyal and Kareena Kapoor Khan. The film is slated to release again in theatres after the lockdown is over.
