This veteran Tamil actress recalls struggle behind wearing bikini for a Kamal Haasan movie in 80s

Veteran Tamil actress Radha has recalled the struggle and mental strength that it took to wear a bikini for a Kamal Haasan movie. She noted that she and her colleagues were required to wear bikinis for a shot in the movie Tik Tik Tik, which came out in 1982.

"This is one of my favourite memory from the days of shoot for movie tik tik tik. Back then it might have looked part of job but now if I look back I admire the struggle and strength we have put in to look so, and special admiration goes to @actress.maadhavi who has that effortless look on her face along with right posture. Hatsoff to her to be able to work on attitude along with her body. Some memories if remembered now has many unspoken thoughts which I am sharing here today. And Iam glad we were in right hands then for these beautiful outfits on us by our designer Vani Ganapathy (sic)," Radha wrote while sharing a rare still picture from the movie.
