Radhika Apte's Social Work

Actress Radhika Apte thought that the artists needed a robust support system in order to bring the #MeToo movement to the Indian entertainment industry. According to Radhika Apte both men and women need to overcome their insecurities and share their experiences of sexual harassment and assault. A power conflict is a primary cause. Whether it be a religious sexual or economic issue it occurs everywhere. Nobody enjoys giving up their position of authority.

In support of the campaign, Radhika Apte who plays Akshay Kumar's wife in Pad Man asserted that performers shouldn't be expected to act as social activists.

The actress stated to Mumbai Mirror: Actors have a job called acting; they are not social activists. Initially, the entire motivation for making this movie was that Arunachalam Muruganathan's real-life tale is so very inspirational. This motivational tale concerns sanitary napkins. Menstruation is stigmatized in our nation and around the world and we need to take action to change this.

The campaign which included Aamir Khan Katrina Kaif Varun Dhawan Anushka Sharma Arjun Kapoor Alia Bhatt and others has come under fire for being gimmicky and failing to produce any substantive change.
