One can hear the incredulity in her voice as Radhika Madan gushes, "Until the day I saw the trailer credits, I couldn-t believe I had done a film with Irrfan sir!" The youngster considers herself fortunate to have bagged the central role in Angrezi Medium, which also stars Irrfan and Kareena Kapoor Khan.

"I auditioned for the role, and begged to the universe that the film should come my way," she grins. "I had to perform two scenes — one where I declare that I want to go to London, and another which is part of the climax. I guess my performance in the latter worked in my favour." For her small-town girl act, the Delhi girl interacted with youngsters in Udaipur and studied their body language.
