Actress Radhika Apte says she doesn’t subscribe to conventional notions of beauty.
“The conventional idea of beauty is so boring. I find all my friends very beautiful. A face is beautiful when you can relate to it or when you can see the emotion through the face. If there is a connection then you will find a person beautiful. That connect is most beautiful for me,” the Phobia actress said.
However, she said that as an actress she has to present herself well.
“There is a pressure on actresses to look a certain way. Like when I have to go out for promotions or interviews, I have to choose designer wear. I am following that.
“There are certain expectations from actresses and I am doing that. But in my personal life, I am a pyjama person. I never wear make-up,” Apte said.
Apte will be seen opposite superstar Rajinikanth in his next film Kabali.
“Working with Rajini sir has been one of my favourite experiences. He is one of my favourite actors because he is so big. You can’t get bigger than him. He is so humble, hardworking. He doesn’t have any air around him. He is so simple and inspiring,” she said.
The Badlapur actress said she was not worried about being in a same frame as the actor.
“He makes his co-stars so comfortable. And sometimes when you feel so much respect for somebody, you will not be nervous around them because it’s beyond that,” Apte added.
Directed by P Ranjith, Kabali also stars Kishore, Kalaiyarasan, Dhansika and Dinesh Ravi.
