Radhika Madan recently had Farah Khan over to her place for a vlog shoot, where she reminisced about her first audition in Delhi. Interestingly, she revealed that she had carried hockey sticks with her to the audition. This anecdote offers a glimpse into her early days before she rose to fame with TV shows like Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi and Bollywood films such as Angrezi Medium, Pataakha and Shiddat.
Radhika Madan revealed, "There was this casting person who sent me a direct message for an audition in Delhi. Badi shady si jagah pe audition ho raha tha toh main uss time Crime Patrol bada dekhti thi. Toh main aapne do friends ke saath gayi hockey sticks leke. Delhi main thoda pitaayi ka chalta hai (There was this casting person who sent me a direct message for an audition in Delhi. The audition was taking place at a rather shady location, and at that time, I used to watch a lot of Crime Patrol. So I went with two of my friends, carrying hockey sticks. In Delhi, getting into a scuffle isn’t uncommon)."
She further added, "Maine bula liya friends ko ki main andar jaaungi fir tum peeche se aake, aur agle din pura newspaper ke front page pe hum hi hum. But main ghussi toh dekha vahan sachmein audition ho raha tha for a television show. Then I got awkward. I was about to leave, but they called my name (I said to my friends that I’ll just walk in, and you follow me from behind — and the next day, we’ll be all over the front page of the newspaper. But when I entered, I realised there was an actual audition going on for a television show. Then I got awkward. I was about to leave, but they called my name)."
Radhika Madan began her acting career with Colors' "Meri Aashiqui Tumse Hi" alongside Shakti Arora from 2014-2016. The show's success earned her recognition, leading to roles in "Cinta di Pangkuan Himalaya" and a stint on "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8".
She transitioned to Bollywood with Pataakha, followed by notable films like "Angrezi Medium" with Irrfan Khan, Shiddat and "Kuttey". Upcoming projects include "Subedaar", an action thriller directed by Suresh Triveni and co-starring Anil Kapoor. The film is currently in production, with its release date yet to be announced.
