Radhika was interested in different dance forms from a very young age. She has learnt jazz, hip hop and ballet, and used to work as a dance instructor before she ventured into acting.

Radhika Madan made her acting debut on television with Ekta Kapoor's Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi in 2014. She even won the best debut award for her role on the TV show.

Radhika Madan also has a few friends from the television industry. She is good friends with Gold actress Mouni Roy and Ishq Mein Marjawan actor Arjun Bijlani.

Later, Radhika Madan also participated in season 8 of the dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. She, however, had her sight set on the big screen.

In an interview, Radhika Madan spoke about her Pataakha experience, "They (small town girls) party with their gang of girls and also take care of their family. They are so open about sexuality that when they talk among their female friends, they really have their 'girl talks'. So as an urban woman if someone is thinking that small town girls are not liberal minded and don't have a life, it is wrong."

Radhika Madan won accolades for her stint in the superhero film Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, which was directed by Vasan Bala and produced by Ronnie Screwvala. She was paired opposite Abhimanyu Dassani, who played a man with a rare condition called Congenital insensitivity to pain, and hence, cannot feel any pain.

Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota premiered in the Midnight Madness section of the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival, where it won the People's Choice Award.

For the film, Radhika had to undergo intensive martial arts training to get her action moves on point. And the result was quite clear - she pulled off all the moves effortlessly.

Here's the story of how Radhika landed Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota. "I went to audition for Laila Majnu. Somebody saw me there and asked me 'Can you kick?' I was a dancer before. I did a few kicks," said the actress. And soon, she joined the cast of Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota.

Radhika performed all the stunts herself, also getting injured quite a few times in the process. She familiarised herself with the genre by watching endless classic action films.

Radhika had signed Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota five months after her TV show finished. She revealed in an interview that many of her friends had advised her against her decision of signing the film.

Radhika Madan, who started her career in 2014, has already won many awards and has been nominated for a few. After having won an award for the most promising newcomer (Pataakha), Radhika told IANS, "I didn't expect it. It just happened. It motivates me to work even harder to entertain more and more people, and give my 200 per cent. I gave my heart and soul to Pataakha. It didn't do commercially well, but to be acknowledged for that... it speaks a lot."

Radhika Madan was last seen in Disney Hotstar's 'Shiddat' opposite Vicky Kaushal's brother Sunny Kaushal. The film was directed by Dinesh Vijan.

Radhika Madan's Angrezi Medium co-starring late actor Irrfan Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan was a follow-up to Irrfan's Hindi Medium, Angrezi Medium brought back Irrfan as the male protagonist and cast Radhika Madan as his daughter.

On the work front, Radhika Madan has recently completed the shoot for Homi Adjania's next. SBC marks Radhika's second association with Homi Adajania, as the duo earlier collaborated on Angrezi Medium also featuring the late Irrfan Khan, and third with Maddock Films, post Angrezi Medium and Shiddat. 

In an interview with mid-day earlier, Radhika Madan stated about her character 'Kartika' from Shiddat, "Kartika has some shades of grey as well. She has complicated the concept of love so much that she doesn’t know what to do with it when it comes her way. In the world of dating apps where relationships start with swipes, and we want one person to tick all our boxes, we are not leaving enough room for love to bloom."

Radhika Madan concluded stating, “Vishal sir is family, and I used to hang out with Aasmaan every day during the shoot of Pataakha. It’s a matter of honour and privilege to be a part of his first film. I hope we all live up to the promise of the amazing script he has written.”

Recently, Radhika Madan began the shoot of her upcoming next 'Sanaa' in Mumbai with national award-winning filmmaker Sudhanshu Saria. Along with the same, Radhika is also working on Vishal Bhardwaj's Kuttey directed by Asmaan Bharadwaj co-starring Arjun Kapoor, Tabu, Konkana Sen Sharma, among others.
