More women working in the industry helps: Radhika Apte

Actress Radhika Apte feels that more women working in the film industry in various positions has resulted in more female-driven films and is a great trend.

Asked why films like Mom, Parched and Pink -- in which women can be seen as central characters -- are being made nowadays, she told "There were subject films even earlier too, but more women working in the industry as writers and directors has definitely helped."

The actress, who has herself portrayed strong roles in films like Parched, Phobia and many more, believes there is no point in leading a life without challenges.

"You need to explore whatever you are doing. I do different kinds of roles to get some creative satisfaction. There is no point if you are not taking up challenges," she said.
