Twenty-two year-old Radhika Apte is doing what she does best and loving it. The actor, who won rave reviews for her portrayal of Apsara, a dancer in Shaimak Davar’s debut production Bombay Black, loves bringing diverse characters to life on stage. The economics graduate from Fergusson College, Pune, has acted in Purnagram, Matradaata and Mohit Takalkar’s Tu followed by an appearance as Jhansi Ki Rani in Ganesh Yadav’s Shobhayatra, a hard-hitting satire on contemporary society. Radhika has also done English theatre like Rehaan Engineer’s That Time and Vijay Tendulkar’s award-winning drama Kanyadaan where she played the role of a politician’s daughter. After learning from stalwarts like Lillette Dubey and Rajendra Gupta, the pretty lady is now eager to work with Naseeruddin Shah, Sunil Shanbag and Nagesh Kukunoor. Pottery, kathak and ballet are her other passions. A fine life.
