Radhikka Madan, known for making thoughtful choices of films, had impressed everyone with her dynamic outing in ‘Angrezi Medium’. She stepped into the shoes of a relatable character by playing the role of Irrfan Khan’s on-screen daughter who belongs to a middle-class family and aspires to pursue studies in a reputed international college. By playing this role, the actress highlighted the financial challenges that follow and also demonstrated the emotional rollercoaster of a father-daughter relationship.

Upon the film’s release, Radhikka not only won the hearts of the audiences but also made herself noticeable in the eyes of the critics. While the praises continued to pour in, one highlight changed the game for her. She was stunned when she received a bouquet of flowers and a handwritten note by the legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan! 

“This is Amitabh Bachchan, and I write to you with the greatest of admiration for your work in 'Angrezi Medium'. I saw the film yesterday, and just could not resist writing to you. What a mature and balanced performance you have given. Prosperity & all success to you," he had written in the note.

This note marked a significant feat in Radhikka’s career. She was quick to respond to the heartwarming gesture on her socials. A part of her response read, “Thankfully I didn't faint when I actually received it..I just stood there for a few seconds soaking it all in, teary eyed, in gratitude. Thank you for making my dream come true Sir. It has motivated me to work even harder and entertain my audience with even more honest performances. #AngreziMedium😇 14.3.2020”

‘Angrezi Medium’, one of the standout films of modern Indian cinema, resonated with the audiences for its raw and honest storytelling. It demonstrated a father’s ability to do everything in his power to fulfill the dreams of his children. While the film revolved around a comedy theme, it highlighted the importance of family, especially the father-daughter relationship.While one had no doubts about Irrfan Khan impressing everyone with a versatile act once again, Radhikka Madan turned out to be the surprise element and cemented herself as a powerhouse performer.
