Untold Story | S02 Ep07 | Radhika Madan's SHOCKING Untold Story: I didn't get SOTY2; A director told me I'm not pretty
While we adore our actors and stars, we hardly know what's gone behind achieving that stardom. Little did Radhika Madan, who hails from Delhi, know that her luck will change with one audition. She soon became one of the most popular faces on television and there was no looking back. Or so, it seemed. But soon as she harboured dreams of entering films, she had to face struggles from all corners. In an industry that reeks is nepotism, Radhika opened up about how she was replaced in several films with a starkid and how she wasn't even considered for films because she didn't have a godfather. Not just that, she also discussed how casting directors seeped in insecurity in her and told her she isn't pretty enough for a film and that it can be corrected by surgeries. Along with these Revelations, she also spoke about how she knew a producer was casting a starkid for a big project which she was desperate to bag. She made sure the producer auditioned her and she got the role. It can be anybody's guess that the film she's referring to is, Angrezi Medium that was initially supposed to have Sara Ali Khan.
