Lydia Dean Pilcher’s A Call to Spy, set during World War II, tells the story of three individuals who contributed to the Allies victory without being on the frontlines.
In a war spearheaded by men, three women Vera Akins (Stana Katic), Virginia Hall (Sarah Megan Thomas), and Noor Inayat Khan (Radhika Apte) held their own, outwitting the Nazis, inspiring a legion of followers. The war flared via bullets and bombs, guns and grenades, but it was helped to halt by stealth and code. A Call to Spy excavates a significant slice of history, showing a different facet of heroism, presenting a more rounded picture of a long bloody struggle.
Radhika Apte has realised she was doing a lot of work just because of the fear of missing out, and says she is now determined not to take up work under pressure. The realisation dawned on her when the world was under lockdown due to the Covid-19 crisis.

“I realised that I’m grateful to get a lot of work and I have chosen work only when I wanted to do it. But there were a lot of other things I was doing with work, which are part of work and are a part of my job. I was doing these just out of FOMO [fear of missing out],” Apte said.
“I did so just because I didn’t want to miss out or just because others were doing it. In this time, when no one was doing anything, I was really chilled. I didn’t want to do it either,” she added.
