Radhika Apte's recent thriller, 'Phobia', proved to be a damp squib at the box office.

Her nerve-wrecking performance, however, did not go to waste.

Radhika received special praise from her father, Dr Charudutt Apte, one of Pune's leading neurosurgeons.

Her dad keeps away from the Bollywood scene, so applause from him is indeed special for her.
