In her caption, Radhika humorously acknowledged the challenges of new motherhood while balancing work commitments. She thanked Natasha, a close friend, for ensuring her breast pumping schedule was accommodated during the BAFTAs. “It’s hard as is to be a new mum and work, this level of care and sensitivity is rare in our film industry and much appreciated,” she wrote. She also mentioned how Natasha not only accompanied her to the restroom to pump milk but also brought her champagne in the loo.

Radhika previously shared a series of photos from the event, celebrating her first major outing since giving birth. She expressed gratitude to her team, revealing she attended the ceremony with only two hours of sleep, managing postpartum responsibilities while supporting her film’s nomination.
Radhika’s latest film, Sister Midnight, was nominated at the 78th BAFTA Awards for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director, or Producer. Directed by Karan Kandhari, the comedy-horror film follows Radhika’s character as she gets trapped in an unhappy arranged marriage.
Radhika and her husband, Benedict Taylor, welcomed their child in December 2024. The actor announced the news with a heartfelt Instagram post featuring a picture of herself breastfeeding her newborn. The couple, who split their time between London and Mumbai, first met in 2011 when Radhika was in London studying contemporary dance. They tied the knot in 2012 in an intimate ceremony, followed by an official celebration in 2013.
Radhika’s candid posts about motherhood, postpartum struggles, and career commitments have struck a chord with fans, reinforcing her reputation for authentic storytelling—both on-screen and off.
