Radhika Apte's first picture with newborn shows work-life balance

Bollywood actress Radhika Apte has returned to her professional commitments just one week after the birth of her child.

In a post shared on Instagram, Radhika Apte revealed how she is managing both her mommy duties and work.

In the photograph, Radhika Apte is seen breastfeeding her newborn, a moment she chose to share on social media, accompanied by the caption, “First meeting after birth, with my one-week-old daughter.” However she did not reveal the gender of her baby.

The post has received an outpouring of support from colleagues and fans. Actress Konkana Sen Sharma, along with industry figures such as Vijay Verma, Divyendu Sharma, Rajeev Masand, Isha Talwar, and Zoya Akhtar, extended their congratulations to Apte.

Radhika’s return to work comes after surprising fans with a pregnancy announcement during the UK premiere of her film Sister Midnight in October 2024, where her baby bump was visible. She did not formally announce her pregnancy on social media but shared photos from the event, where she posed with the cast and crew.

Radhika Apte married British musician Benedict Taylor in 2012, and the couple has since maintained a private and low-key relationship. Their first child arrives after over a decade of marriage, marking a new chapter in their personal lives.
