Did You Know Radhika Apte Is Not Religious?
She shared, ‘I am not religious at all. At home, we do Ganpati celebrations and I do it because I love modak. In school also, we used to be very against submerging the idol in water. So we eat in these celebrations.’ Radhika’s Diwali used to be quite big at home. She never burnt firecrackers to celebrate the festival. Diwali for her and her family was all about eating food and meeting friends. This is surely a great Diwali plan.
Radhika opens up about her non-religious side, Christmas celebrations at her in-laws in North England, and a lot more in this exciting interview. If you are a Radhika Apte fan, you will surely love to watch this interview.
