Nude clip left me sleepless, disturbed: Radhika Apte

A few years ago, a nude clip did the rounds on the Internet. A woman was seen in it. Many claimed, without corroboration, that the actress in the nude clip was none other than Radhika Apte. Thumbnails and gossip features said that the clip was from her yet-to-be-released feature film, ‘Clean Shaven’. 

In her latest interview, the ‘OK Computer’ and ‘Andhadhun’ actress has revealed that the gossip left her quite disturbed. “I couldn’t step out of the house for four days,” the actress, who featured opposite Nandamuri Balakrishna in Boyapati Srinu’s ‘Legend’, said. 

She added that her driver, watchman, and her stylist’s driver thought it was her in the nude video. 

Radhika Apte, known for also being an OTT star, added that anyone with a sane eye would have guessed it wasn’t her in the viral clip. She would later strip for the Hindi-language film ‘Parched’ after the incident. “I realised: ‘There’s nothing left for me to hide’,” she said in the interview. 

The versatile actress has done famous South Indian films like Rajinikanth’s ‘Kabali’ as well. ‘Hunterr’, ‘Lust Stories’, ‘Badlapur’, ‘Pad Man’, ‘Phobia’ and ‘Manjhi’ are among her other well-known titles. Over the years, Radhika has shown the way in doing bold roles.
