These hidden secrets of Radhika Apte will shock you completely

                                      
1) 30 FILMS DOWN ALREADY A break from movies didn't really hamper her career so much, given the fact that at the age of 30, she has about 30 films to her credit already (including all Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Tamil, etc). There's more - she's been a part of more than 10 plays and is currently filming around 5 films which are in their post-production stage! That's a lot of work. TURNING 30 Radhika was born on September 7, 1985. This year on September 7, she will turn 30. Didn't we say these days all actresses who are hot are currently in their 30s. She just joined the hottie thirty club of Bollywood
                                        .

2) Radhika Apte, the dusky doe-eyed beauty of Bollywood, recently shot to fame with her stripping scene with Varun Dhawan in Badlapur and is now in the news for her role in Manjhi - opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui. There's so much more about this versatile actress that we bet will blow your mind (no exaggerating here). Here are a few shocking as well as surprising facts about her. See if you can keep your jaws in place after reading
                                         
3)BOLLYWOOD DEBUT WITH SHAHID KAPOOR Not many know that Radhika Apte has primarily been a theatre actor and has also worked in Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam films. She debuted in Bollywood with a small role in the Shahid Kapoor-Amrita Rao-Sanjay Dutt starrer 'Vaah! Life ho Toh Aisi', and not with 'Shor in the city' as many assume.

                                           
 4)TUSSHAR KAPOOR - RUMOURED BOYFRIEND During the shooting of the film 'Shor in the City', gossip was thick that Radhika and Tusshar are too close to each other. Tusshar was even quoted as saying that 'Radhika is too hot' on Koffee With Karan. While the rumours began to smoke up more, Radhika on the other side, went ahead and denied all of them, claiming that she is not even good friends with him. But then, years ago, Vivek Oberoi openly agreed about dating Aishwarya, but Aish didn't even bother talking about him. Does that ring a bell? Also, when a leading daily printed a story about Radhika & Tusshar (in the pic above) -- we all got to know there ain't any smoke sans the fire        
                                           
5)THOSE LEAKED SELFIES WERE NOT HERS A couple of months ago, nude selfies of a Radhika Apte lookalike fired up the net. While everyone assumed it is her, Radhika clarified in more ways than one that the woman in the picture is only similar looking to her. “I saw it and laughed it off because it is really funny. I am really busy. I can’t waste my time doing that. My family and I never get affected by any of these things. So it just doesn’t bother me,” she was quoted as saying.
                                          
 6)But later, as a bulk of social media still thought it is her, she took to Twitter to clarify. She even posted a link that clearly showed how that girl who posted nude selfies of her, does not look so much like Radhika when her complete profile and face are observed vis-a-vis Apte's face.
                                           
7)BUT THAT LEAKED VIDEO WAS HERS A month later though, unfortunately, a video showing Radhika Apte's bold scenes was leaked online. This time, the woman in those scenes was really Radhika, as the video had been leaked from a short film made by Anurag Kashyap that she acted in. Due to her bold scenes in the movie, she got talked about. But the actress handled the matter with
grace.
 

 8)VARUN DHAWAN IS VERY SPECIAL TO HER She worked with Varun Dhawan in his recent film Badlapur. Though it was a brief role, the actress got talked about owing to her bold stripping scene in the film. She also claims that Varun Dhawan is very special to her. "His compliments and his criticism are both important to me. He is a very honest critic and we share that relationship. He's extremely special to me," she once told media persons in response to queries on Varun, who turned up at at the screening of 'Manjhi - The Mountain Man' to support his Badlapur co-stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Radhika.
                                            
 9)SHE IS MARRIED! But no chance of Varun or any other co-actor, you see. As this gorgeous unconventional beauty is -- ahem, may we break your hearts, dear gentlemen -- not single. She is married! In September 2012, Radhika got married to British musician Benedict Taylor. Radhika met Benedict in 2011 in London during her year-long sabbatical from movies. She lives in Mumbai while her husband Benedict Taylor in London, though they visit each other often.

10)A BIG SHOT'S DAUGHTER A lot of times we hear stories of actors as to how they hail from an extremely humble background, how nobody in their family supported their acting aspirations and so on...yawn. But Apte's story is unexpectedly so different. She is the daughter of Pune's leading neurosurgeon and chairman of Sahyadri Hospital, Dr. Charudutt Apte.

                                             
11)ACADEMIC BACKGROUND Not only that, Radhika is an Economics and Mathematics graduate from Fergusson College, Pune. Hey! She has a strong academic background. Such a refreshing break from all those 'I dropped out from school' kinda stories of many actors.
                                                 
 12)PROFESSIONAL DANCE After completing about four films, she took a break from work, moved to London and studied contemporary dance at London's Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. It was during this break that she met Benedict Taylor, whom she later tied the knot with. When asked in an interview whether she regretted that break or not, she gave a very honest reply, "The break was very important to me. I always wanted to learn dance, and I believe one must do what they want to do. If I had not taken that break, I would have been at a different place, but what place I don't know. So, I'm happy with that sabbatical."
