Radhika has been one of the very few 80s actors who has kept herself relevant in the entertainment industry with successful stints in television and films across three decades. The actress, who was the first-ever female in the world to have headlined a show in the Kaun Banega Crorepati format, has taken a brief sabbatical from television to help her husband, actor Sarath Kumar with his political innings. The latter had started his party recently ahead of the TN assembly elections.
However, Radhika has maintained that she’ll continue to do films in the meanwhile. It’s surprising that most leading actors, prominent figures always take major political decisions only before an election. It becomes very obvious to people that they are either in quest of power or are here to split a few votes. TN Assembly Elections has got many curious considering it’ll be the first election in a long time without political heavyweights and everyone is sensing an opportunity.
At a time when the actress could have gracefully continued doing television and films, this decision of hers to leave her comfort zone, though for a brief while, is certainly surprising. The stories in the serials featuring the actress have been tweaked to compensate for her absence and it remains to be seen if the soaps would garner viewership without her presence.
