Radhika Apte shines brilliantly in the captivating 'Bold is Beautiful' short film series by Myntra. Unearthing an old piece of art is worth it if it conveys a message as relevant as this one.

No, pregnancy doesn't mean end of their career and the short film ensures that this message is conveyed in the most emphatic manner.
