Radhika Apte supports Tannishtha Chatterjee in ‘Comedy Nights Bachao’ fiasco

After Tannishtha Chatterjee was roasted for her dark skin in ‘Comedy Nights Bachao Taaza’, the actress had to walk out of the show mid way. The actress penned a strong letter about the same, and has been getting support from fans and colleagues alike. The new person added to this list is none other than her ‘Parched’ co-star, Radhika Apte, who herself had faced a fair share of controversies for her n*de scene in the movie.

Radhika Apte feels that people should not crack jokes on someone’s colour and body structure. “I think jokes on colour or body shaming shouldn’t be made. It’s not funny to crack such jokes. Do you crack a joke on fair skin (people)? No right ? So don’t do it (joke on dark skin people). There has to be a limit,” Radhika said.

Also commenting on the the ban on Pakistani actors in India, Radhika says, “What has happened in Kashmir is terrible. But it shouldn’t determine other things (working of artistes in India) as it’s a political debate. I feel art has the power to bind us. We should encourage talent.”

‘Parched’ has been garnering praises from all and sundry, and Radhika is elated. “I feel every film has an audience and it feels great that people today love to watch kind of cinema as well,” she adds.

The movie, directed by Linaa Yadav, and follows the life of four Gujarati women who talk about men, s*x, and life, at the same time struggling with their own problems in life.
