Keerthy Suresh, who was also a part of the interview, clarified that it is a Tamil and Telugu thing where one can get married to an uncle. However, Radhika added, "But, also I had to romance a much older actor. It was a very patriarchal situation and place, and for me that was the toughest thing."
Netizens feel Radhika Apte is talking about Legend
In 2014, Radhika starred opposite Nandamuri in a Telugu film titled Legend, and NBK fans are slamming her on social media. One of the X users also shared an old interview of the actress in which she had said that she is very grateful to be a part of Legend.
A netizen tweeted, "The film in question is Legend (2014), starring Nandamuri Balakrishna. But if she had a problem with the storyline or romancing an older actor, wouldn't she have known about the script and the hero before signing the film? (sic)."
Another X user wrote, "Whenever people change colours, History will be right around the corner to slap it in their faces... (sic)."
