Radhika Madan, who was last seen in Shiddat opposite Sunny Kaushal, revealed that when she was younger, she was very much influenced by Bollywood in determining her definition of love, and even wanted to date her best friend after she saw the 2007 romantic film Jaane Tu …Ya Jaane Na.

As per reports in Hindustan Times, in an interview with Filmfare, she said: “I was really influenced by Bollywood films. I remember I saw Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na with my best friend and I thought that I’m Aditi and he’s Jay. Right after that, I was like, we should date. He was like, ‘Whaaat?!’ And then pyaar dosti hai (love is friendship) and all that sh** happened.”

Radhika added that she now feels embarrassed about it all. She said, “Now when I think about it, I’m like, ‘Radhika, nooo!’ I wish someone had told me at that point, ‘No, Radhika, no!’” She further added, “But your mind is impressionable at that age. For me, right now, pyaar dosti nahi hai (love is not friendship) but you know, you need to accept the person wholly. You need to accept their greys as well, not just the black and white. When you accept someone as a person completely, that is love. So that definition for me has changed a lot. Earlier, it was a checklist of how they looked, what flowers they sent. When you learn from life, your definition changes.”
