Meanwhile, Radhika Mohan revealed the dark secret of her life. She added that she had to take pregnancy pills after her first-day shooting. During an interview with Mumbai Mirror, she opened up that Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota was technically her first movie as she finished shooting for it before Pataakha.

“For my first shot, I had to buy a contraceptive pill. It was funny because my parents had flown in from Delhi to surprise me. My father got awkward, wondering what he’d tell people when they asked him about the shoot. I had imagined leaves and flowers falling around and people applauding when I completed my first shot, but it wasn’t like that,” she told Mumbai Mirror.

In fact, her perception towards the film industry changed after doing Vasan Bala’s Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota. “MKDNH changed my perception of the film industry. And the credit for that goes to Vasan sir and Vishal (Bhardwaj, Pataakha director) sir.

I had auditioned for Pataakha right after the first schedule of MKDNH and after the second schedule, while I was in Goa, I got a call that Vishal sir wanted to meet me the next day. He sent me the script, I rehearsed at the airport and went directly to his office. He just asked me two things after the audition—Will I agree to get fat and tanned? I said ‘yes’,” she said
