Radhika Apte takes a sly dig at star kids

A video of Radhika was shared on Reddit, where she was seen talking about the privileges of star kids, who do not have to strive their way or work hard for a film. The actress also mentioned filmmakers' take on star kids and how they hardly care whether they are capable enough for the role or at least know acting. In her words:

“Actors who want to do better their game, they have to more exercise, dress better, get clicked more, and do thingies on their faces. They don’t go for courses or for coaching, for performance you know because that’s not valued. They go like That’s a star kid, or this is a somebody being promoted by somebody, cast them, acting to karwa lenge. And then they say, actors are dumb, actors are the least, simplest thing to do. And I find it very annoying.”
