Radhika Apte has sparked a big conversation about what we call “entertainment” today, especially in the age of binge-worthy web series and edgy films that keep pushing the limits of gore. In a candid chat with The Hollywood Reporter India, she said she finds the current obsession with graphic violence in Indian content “deeply disturbing” and made it clear she’s not a fan of blood-soaked visuals being passed off as cool or bold storytelling. What really hit home was her emotional worry about the future—she admitted she doesn’t feel okay about raising a child in a world where watching brutal violence has become normal weekend entertainment. Radhika called out creators who confuse shock value with substance, saying that audiences don’t need to see every gory detail for a story to have impact and that showing “the chopping” on screen is not the same as good writing or meaningful cinema. Her comments land at a time when dark crime sagas, gang wars, and ultra-violent thrillers dominate OTT trends, making her stand feel like a bold reminder that boundaries matter. Ironically, her own upcoming project Saali Mohabbat is a crime thriller about love and betrayal set to stream on Zee5 from December 12, which makes her demand for more thoughtful handling of violence even more relevant to both filmmakers and viewers.​
