A year later, she participated in the celebrity dance reality show, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8. But soon, Radhika quit the television industry to carve a niche for herself in Bollywood. But in a recent interview a while back, Radhika’s comments on the gruelling hours and the lack of innovation on television sparked off quite a controversy. The Shiddat (2021) and Kuttey (2023) actor revealed that she worked for as long as 48-50 hours for Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi and alleged that the show’s directors would frequently change the script. Following her statement, she was called out by the television fraternity including actor Sayantani Ghosh and producer Ekta Kapoor for looking down on the medium that gave a push to her career. And now, in an exclusive chat with News18, Radhika talks about how television gave her a cushioned life in a new city like Mumbai. “I’m from Delhi. I didn’t know acting. I learnt it on the job. Living in Bombay and figuring stuff out was very difficult. But my show did pretty well and I left television when I was at the top. While I was doing television, I was leading a comfortable life.

She also talked about bagging her first TV show at the age of 17 and how she gained weight due to the hectic schedule of TV. She revealed that she soon heard rumours of her getting replaced on the show and decided to lose weight, "As a kid, I was happy in my own world doing my own thing; I was a queen. I was really mischievous & would sometimes even puncture tyres for fun! Growing up, I had a unibrow & hardly got attention from boys, but I didn’t care; I felt I was pretty. And whenever anyone asked, ‘What do you want to do when you grow up?’ I’d say, ‘Shaadi’! I loved the taamjham! But I became passionate about dancing & dreamt of going to Broadway. My parents were supportive. At 17, I auditioned for a TV show & within 3 days I was in Bombay, shooting. But it was tough. I barely got time to sleep, which led to me gaining a few kilos. Then, I heard rumours about me getting replaced & that pushed me to explore my limits. So I began working out & lost myself to my character. And I realised, this is my high…this is what I want to do." Talking about the struggles she had to face after she decided to quit television, the actress shared that she was asked to get a surgery done to be in shape, "I got more TV offers, but I told myself, ‘You’re only 19, if you choose comfort, you’ll get stuck.’ So, I quit TV to do films. I began auditioning, but I faced rejections. I was told I needed to have a particular shape & size, & that I needed surgery. But mujhe toh main bahut sahi lagti hun...
