Radhika Madan believes Rmarriage is for keeps and is looking for someone who is a student of life, who's always learning and growing, and bringing this quality into the relationship too.
When she meets her match, she wants to marry him in a small, intimate, ceremony. Till then, the actress can fantasise about running into Ryan Gosling in Paris!
And if that happens, it will be way more romantic than what happens in Shiddat,
Your upcoming film, Shiddat, started before the pandemic, was completed during it. How will you remember it five years from now?
As a film, Shiddat will always be fresh, relatable and relevant. In this day and age when love is just a swipe away, it talks about love in its purest, most honest form. It asks if we are even equipped to deal with it. I'll remember it as a film that made me change my perspective of love.
How would you define love?
For me, love is accepting a person, wholly and completely. Not just for their strength but also helping them overcome their weakness and heal their wounds. I love Turkish author Elif Shafak's famous novel, The Forty Rules of Love: A Novel of Rumi. It plays out through two parallel narratives, one set in the contemporary world of Ella Rubenstein, 40 years old and unhappy in marriage. She is given Aziz Zahara's novel, Sweet Blasphemy, set in the 13th century, revolving around Sufi poet Rumi and his spiritual mentor, Shams of Tabriz, to read and review. Together, the two narratives offer a timeless message that love is just love. That's how I see it too. With all its imperfections, and not attached to anything else.
What kind of a person would make this kind of a love come true?
