Actor Radhika Madan talks about being the first Indian actress on the jury at the Tallinn Film Festival and the youngest jury member at the International Emmy Awards.
Not only did she become the first Indian actress to join the jury at the Tallinn Film Festival, but Radhika Madan was also the youngest jury member at this year’s International Emmy Awards. Reflecting on her experience at the Tallinn Film Festival, Madan expresses, “It’s extremely humbling to know that I’m the first Indian actress on the jury of Tallinn, but I never went with that intention,” adding, “Last year
when I went there with my film Sanaa, I learned so many things about my craft and my mind opened so much about movies since you get to see movies from all over the world. The conversations that you have with people, help you grow as an individual. And it was just overwhelming to know that they wanted me back there.
Even if they had called me for a film or anything I would have just been there. But to be going as a jury member was an overwhelming experience. I couldn’t believe it when I first heard it, but I was so excited. To watch films and meet different people and indeed it was one of the most phenomenal experiences of my life,” the 28-year-old emphasises.
When the news of her International Emmy Awards participation broke, Madan initially thought it might be related to a nomination for her recent projects.
