Radhika Apte Criticizes Violence and Obsession in Indian Films
Radhika Apte, a famous actor, is worried about the increasing amount of violence and obsession in Indian movies and TV shows.
She thinks this kind of content is not good for society, especially for children.
In her recent film 'Saali Mohabbat,' she plays a character who kills her husband due to accumulated injustice, but she doesn't want people to think this is an expression of love.
She believes that true love is about seeing the other person happy, not controlling them.
Experts say that watching violent scenes can make people feel stressed, scared, and even aggressive.
They also say that children are more affected because their brains are still developing.
To stay safe, people should watch these kinds of movies carefully and not watch too much at once.
They should also pay attention to how they feel after watching.
Radhika Apte expresses distress over the rise of violent and obsessive content in Indian entertainment.
Experts explain that violent scenes can trigger stress hormones and cause emotional distress.
Children are particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of violent content.
Apte criticizes the glamorisation of obsession and control as love in films.
Parents should be mindful of their children's exposure to violent and obsessive media.

Quotes
Radhika Apte
Actress known for her versatility in Hindi cinema
“That's the problem. I don't think that in the film, what happens is something happening out of passionate love. It's happening because of accumulated acute injustice and treatment of her. I don't like to glorify that as some passionate love for the partner or anybody else in the world. This is where we go wrong on how we view it. It's clearly happening from being treated badly over and over again.”

“Whether it's husband or husband's family or your parents, listening to them and doing whatever they want you to do, is not love. If anybody expects the other person to compromise their happiness, to do what you ask them to do, that's not love. True love is to see the other person happy and obedience is not love. That's just power and control. And I'm sick of it being called love or respect.”
