    ‘I wish I had spoken more’; Radhika Madan’s emotional tribute to Irfan Khan

    From TV screens to cinematic success, Radhika Madan’s journey has been remarkable, and her recent film Sarfira with Akshay Kumar has put her in the spotlight. During an interview with ETimes, Radhika Madan recalled her experience of working with the late great Irrfan Khan on the sets of Angrezi Medium.

    “I was watching the film to show my friend who had never seen it before, and I couldn’t help but wonder if I would ever be able to make a movie like that. It was Irrfan Sir that came to mind.”

    The actress revealed that she used to be really reserved on set and made an effort to give Irrfan Khan space.
    “I was just focusing on my character and wanted to see him as just my father. I thought I would have a lot of time with him to discuss movies, acting, and craft after the film, but he was going through so much. I never spoke unless I was spoken to,” Madan added.

    In Angrezi Medium, Radhikka played Irrfan’s daughter, receiving appreciation from audiences as well as critics.
    Irrfan Khan passed away on April 29, 2020, after battling with a neuroendocrine tumor for several months.

    ‘My mom used to scold me’: Madhuri Dixit opens up on personal life and career

    Bollywood actor Madhuri Dixit recently talked about her life as a super star and how stardom never affected her personal life.

    In her debut web series The Fame Game, Madhuri plays a Bollywood star who encounters the dark side of fame and sees how her popularity affects life in a negative way.

    In a recent interaction with ETimes the Devdas star revealed that her family never treated her differently even after she became a superstar.

    She went on to add that she was lucky never to have faced that in real life and it was largely because she kept her personal and professional lives separate.

    “I mean, even when I was working in films, my mom used to scold me if my room was messed up and things like that. So that’s how I was brought up. And that’s how I am. When I go home, everything is back in the studio. I see my kids and I see my husband and its just a different life. I never really lost myself,” she said.

    The actor added that she detaches from her onscreen character once she steps out of the sets. “I look at it as a profession. When I go in front of the camera, I’m a professional actress. And I know what I’m doing. I’ve read a script, and I’m reading it and I’m playing that character. I become that character for the camera, but once I go back home, I am a normal person, because that’s the way I’ve been brought up,” she continued.

    On the work front, The Fame Game is Madhuri’s OTT debut. The series, created by Sri Rao, began streaming on Netflix on February 25. It also stars Sanjay Kapoor, Manav Kaul, Muskkaan Jaferi and Lakshvir Saran in key roles.
