Radhika Apte expanded upon how classic Bollywood romantic films influence modern views on romance and relationships.

Furthermore, Apte took issue with the double standard of sexualization and harsh moral judgment directed at female leads—observations that mirror her upcoming character in the anthology series ‘Lust Stories 3’.
