Yet another feather has been added to Radhika Apte's hat of success with the 2016 Tribeca Award for Best Actress in an International Narrative Feature for the film 'Madly' directed Anurag Kashyap.

The 43-year-old director took to his Twitter handle to write, "Radhika Apte wins best actress at TriBeCa in dramatic competition for a 20min short from the anthology MADLY beating all feature actresses."

Tribeca's official Twitter handle too congratulated the 30-year-old actress for her win.

"The #Tribeca2016 Award for Best Actress in an International Narrative Feature goes to. @Radhika_Apte in MADLY," it read.

'Madly' is a series of short films directed by several talented filmmakers where Radhika had a 20-minute movie titled 'Clean Shaven.'

 

In the movie, the 'Badlapur' actress portrays the character of a timid wife in a patriarchal society.

The film speaks about some old customs which, for ages, kept a 'purdah' between a man and his wife even after being open to each other.

Reportedly, this is the same movie, due to which Radhika's nude video got leaked creating a stir in the industry.
