Radhika Apte and her husband, Benedict Taylor, joyfully welcomed their first child last week. The actress marked her return to work just a week after giving birth, sharing a beautiful photo of herself breastfeeding her newborn. Congratulations are certainly for the couple, as Bollywood actress Radhika surprised her fans by announcing her pregnancy in October, showcasing her baby bump at the BFI London Film Festival 2024.

Radhika Apte and husband welcome first child

On Friday, Radhika Apte took to Instagram to post a heartwarming image of her nursing her one-week-old child. In her caption, she mentioned that it was her first work meeting since becoming a mother. Although she has not disclosed the baby’s gender yet, she offered fans a charming glimpse of her little one. “First work meeting back after birth with our one-week-old at my breast #breastfeeding #mothersatwork #averybeautifulchapter #bliss @benedmusic,” she wrote.

The photo captures Radhika multitasking with her baby in her arms while her laptop is open, illustrating her ability to balance work and motherhood. She wore a black turtleneck sweater and sat comfortably on the bed, while her baby looked adorable in an olive green sweater.

Friends wish Radhika to embrace motherhood

Following Radhika’s post, friends and colleagues, including Gulshan Devaiah, Zoya Akhtar, Satyadeep Misra, Isha Talwar, Divyenndu, Ira Dubey, Shweta Tripathi, and Homi Adajania, sent a wave of congratulatory messages. They all expressed their love and congratulations to the family.

Maintaining her privacy, Radhika previously shared with ETimes that she didn’t want to draw attention to her pregnancy. She stated, “I thought maybe they wouldn’t notice the bump, but it was too big. If there were no premiere, you would probably have never known. I was never going to post saying, ‘Oh, I’m pregnant.’ I was never going to post saying, ‘Oh, we had a child’. It’s private.”

She also candidly discussed the challenges she faced during her pregnancy journey. “Pregnancy is not fun. Some people have an easier time than others, but it can be a very hard journey. Bodies undergo significant changes, and it’s crucial to prepare yourself both mentally and physically, especially if you’re someone who is very active,” she reflected.
