Radhika Apte: 'There is something therapeutic about nudity'

Actress Radhika Apte, who had some bold scenes in her last film Badlapur, recently shot some nude scenes for a film and took to a blog to write about how she has no issues in performing nude for a film.

In her blog, Radhika writes, ''I had the recent experience of performing nude in a film and to my surprise I did not feel the way many people would have you believe it should feel. In my observation, a lot of actors in India would agree to do a nude scene if they felt the scene was necessary for the film, but often they don't end up doing so. They are deterred by the fear and cultural pressure of maintaining their image, by the feelings of their families and relatives, the reactions of the majority of the audience and maybe now also right wing fundamentalists who might threaten to cause damage to property, if not bodily harm...I was fortunate to work with a team, which had the intelligence of dealing with them delicately as well as with a sense of normalcy. There is something therapeutic about nudity. There is a comfort, acceptance and a sense of celebration when you can connect with your fellow beings with the thought that we all are the same. We look the same, and yet we are unique. There is nothing to hide, everything is flesh and bone. Everything has beauty; it's up to us to see it.''

Radhika will be next seen in Hunterrr, which also stars Gulshan Devaiah, Sai Tamhankar and others.
