Radhikka Madan has cemented her name in the film industry starting her career from television shows. Similarly, other actors like Mrunal Thakur, Sushant Singh Rajput, Vikrant Massey and others became film stars. Despite, the evident progress, it is said that a television actor is meant for small screens yet, a few actors including Radhikka made it to movies. Reacting to the statement she said according to her an actor is an actor, in an exclusive interview with PeepinngMoon. However, she further mentioned that people from the television industry demotivated her while she was transitioning from TV to movies in her career.
Madan was featured in a well-known daily soap titled Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi and was also a participant of the dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8. She further leveled up making her Bollywood debut with Pathakka which was loved by the audience. She has some popular movies to her credit, namely Angrezi Medium, Shiddat, Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota and now latest addition in the list is Sarfira with Akshay Kumar.
Speaking to PeepingMoon, Radhikka said, “In my head, an actor as an actor. No matter what the medium is. It's a block in people's head. I never got to experience it. I did hear a lot of comments when I was transitioning, from people in the television industry that you never going to make it or don't come back if you don't make it there or they see the television actors in a certain way. But I never got to experience it. I was being judged for what I was performing at that audition and that particular audition.”
Later, on being asked how she sees her journey from television to films, Radhikka claimed to be grateful. She stated, “I'm really grateful for it. I believe, I have grown as a human being a lot. And if you grow as a human being, I think it translates in your craft as well. I never want to stop learning and I never want to stop being a student. So I see my journey and then I feel proud of it from where I started, where I've reached. But I do feel that there's a long way to go. I have much bigger dreams for myself, and I really want to live as many lives as I can in this lifetime, and I hope I get to do it. I get to play till my last breath.”
In the same interview, Radhikka revealed how she became an actor hailing from a business family. She shared, “I don't know, it was luck for me. I wanted to be a professional dancer. I remember like, there were some auditions happening in Delhi and I was called for one random through my Facebook account. I doubted the credibility of it, but I still went for it. I vividly remember coming in front of the camera and feeling extremely safe. I never felt that in my life. Maybe when I used to perform in front of the audience, but not that safe. So I kept chasing that feeling. What is it? Why can't I see people around me between action and cut? How am I so present? And I kept chasing that feeling more and more. I kept taking risk for that feeling and somehow I reached here. Till know that feeling is something that motivates me to go on set every day because I feel the most alive and protected at the same time in front of the camera. And I hope I never get to know what that feeling is.”
