Radhika Madan gave ‘worst audition' for Student Of The Year 2

She remembered giving her "worst audition" for Student of the Year 2 with Dharma Productions, which left her feeling anxious and unwell. The movie, produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, ended up starring Tiger Shroff, Ananya Panday, and Tara Sutaria.

Radhika told Filmfare, "I got a very big audition… It was for Student of the Year 2. I psyched myself so much. I was preparing so much, it wasn't even a two-page scene, I'd read it in my sleep as well. I psyched myself so much that I got sick before the audition. I had a fever, I had a cold, and I gave the worst audition of my life. I was so anxious."

This experience was a turning point for Radhika. She said that she realized her anxiety was limiting her, so she decided to take a different approach, she elaborated, "That day I promised myself that I am never going to feel this way, that I don't want to be in a limbo and feel this anxious in my life."
