Radhika
Apte
is
one
of
the
few
actresses
in
Bollywood
who
doesn't
fear
to
call
a
'spade
a
spade'.
Ever
since
Kangana
Ranaut
dropped
the
infamous
'nepotism'
word
on
Karan
Johar's
Koffee
With
Karan,
the
topic
has
become
quite
a
debatable
topic
in
the
industry.
While
some
defend
it,
there
are
others
who
are
quite
vocal
about
his
prevalence
in
the
industry.
Recently,
Radhika
opened
up
about
nepotism
in
an
interview
with
a
leading
daily
where
she
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I
don't
like
the
word
outsider.
If
I'm
a
director
and
my
son
wants
to
be
an
actor,
why
shouldn't
I
launch
him?"
She
further
added,
'The
industry
today
is
a
blend
of
both
worlds.
On
one
hand,
there's
Ranveer
Singh,
Deepika
Padukone
and
Kangana
Ranaut
who
were
not
born
into
a
film
family
but
have
made
it
big
and
then
there
are
the
star
kids."
Radhika
said,
"I
like
that
abroad
you
can
go
to
drama
school
and
then
for
auditions
like
everyone
else
for
a
role.
It's
a
fair
playing
ground
there.
With
casting
directors
in
Bollywood,
things
are
changing
here
too."
The
actress
also
spoke
about
her
views
on
pay
disparity
and
said,
"If
Salman
Khan
brings
in
Rs
200
crore
and
I
bring
in
not
even
a
crore,
it's
obvious
that
he'll
be
paid
more
since
he
is
adding
value
to
the
box-office.
I
don't
dispute
that
but
I
have
an
issue
with
actors
who
don't
contribute
to
ticket
sales.
Hey,
even
the
mother
of
a
lead
character
is
paid
lesser
than
the
father.
That
needs
to
change."
Radhika
was
last
seen
on
the
big
screen
opposite
Dev
Patel
and
Jim
Sarbh
in
British-American
action
thriller
The
Wedding
Guest.
