Bollywood actress Radhika Apte is trending on social media, not for a new film or web series, but for sharing images from the UK premiere at the BFI London Film Festival.
Among the various photos, one standout image revealed her baby bump, signaling her pregnancy.
This marks the first time Radhika has posted anything about her pregnancy on Instagram, as she had previously kept such news private. She married British music composer Benedict Taylor in 2012 and is now expecting her first child.
Radhika has typically kept her personal life out of the spotlight, sharing little until this recent Instagram post.
Following her announcement, many fans expressed surprise, with some commenting they didn’t even know she was married. Her wedding took place in a private ceremony in Northern England.
Benedict Taylor, Radhika’s husband, is a British violist and music composer known for collaborating with various music groups, including Ensemble and the London Improvisers Orchestra.
He is involved in contemporary composition, modern string performance, and improvisational music across the British and European new music scenes. In 2013, he launched a commission series and solo label called Subverten for viola solo, with premieres occurring several times each year.
