Radhika Apte believes that the spate of female-centric movies is due to more women working in the film industry. She told IANS: “There were subject films even earlier too, but more women working in the industry as writers and directors has definitely helped.”
The actress also thinks that life is boring without professional challenges.
“You need to explore whatever you are doing. I do different kinds of roles to get some creative satisfaction. There is no point if you are not taking up challenges,” she said.
Apte walked for Hyderabad-based handloom designer Sailesh Singhania on the third day of Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) Winter/ Festive 2017 on Friday.
The designer showcased his exclusive collection themed as The Winter Rose inspired by a Westernised interpretation of the sari usually worn by princesses, including Maharani Gayatri Devi.

The silhouettes were Western with long over-coats, trench and pea coats with high collars.
Apte was also seen in one of outfits that had a cape attached.
Talking about her ramp appearance, she said: “I find it very scary firstly as I am not used to of it. I was stressed too.”
