Radhika Apte Worried Over Rising Violence In Films
“I feel quite disturbed, and I have to say this openly… I am deeply disturbed by the violence at the moment that is being sold as entertainment. I don’t want to be bringing up a child in a world where that is entertainment. I just cannot deal with it,” Radhika said
Radhika Apte, known for her striking screen presence and powerful performances, has expressed concern over the increasing violence being used as entertainment in films. Speaking to scribes, she shared that the current trend deeply troubles her.
“I feel quite disturbed, and I have to say this openly… I am deeply disturbed by the violence at the moment that is being sold as entertainment. I don’t want to be bringing up a child in a world where that is entertainment. I just cannot deal with it,” Radhika said.
She further added, “If I want to tell a story of a man who chopped off people, I don’t need to see the chopping and horrible things that they are doing to the person. That is not storytelling. That is not what I have ever seen. The effect of this on society is so large, and I find it deeply upsetting that that is what’s selling.”
Radhika Apte is currently awaiting the release of her upcoming film Saali Mohabbat, directed by Tisca Chopra. The film is set to premiere exclusively on Zee5 from 12 December 2025.
