Radhika Apte announces pregnancy, flaunts her baby bump at BFI London Film Festival

Radhika Apte, known for her versatility and unconventional roles in Indian cinema, recently made headlines at the BFI London Film Festival 2024, where she revealed her pregnancy.

Attending the UK premiere of her upcoming film “Sister Midnight,” Apte proudly showcased her baby bump for the first time, surprising fans and the media alike. Dressed in an off-shoulder black bodycon dress, the actress radiated elegance on the red carpet, marking this significant moment in both her personal and professional life.

Radhika has been married to British violinist and composer Benedict Taylor since 2012. Over the years, the couple has kept their relationship largely private, choosing not to share many details of their personal lives on social media. In an exclusive interview, Radhika shared that when she and Benedict got married, they had a DIY wedding in Northern England. They called their friends, made their own food, and celebrated the day without any formal photographs—a rarity for celebrities. This approach has continued with their pregnancy announcement, which was only made public when Radhika stepped onto the red carpet at the film festival.
