Radhika Apte Slams Reporter for Question on Leaked ‘Parched’ Scene
The leaked intimate scene from Radhika Apte’s ‘Parched’ took away attention from the actual cause of the film.
In the google search results for Radhika Apte’s film Parched, along with the film’s trailer and reviews, there’s one thing that stands out more than anything else.
You’ll find headlines screaming “Steamy, sexy scene”, “Radhika Apte naked”, and “Radhika Apte hot nude scene”.
Parched is an important film about female friendships, sexual agency and women’s sexual freedom. But a little before the film’s release, it came to be known for the leaked scenes that featured Apte in a love-making scene with her co-star Adil Hussain.
At a recent interview however, Apte put her foot down and refused to be shamed about her work by a reporter.
The reporter asked her: “Is it necessary to be controversial or become bold to be successful?”
And in three crisp quotes, Apte showed the reporter his place. Take a look.
