Dressed in a stunning lavender outfit, she flashed a radiant smile, showcasing her ability to balance both her career and new motherhood.

Radhika Apte’s heartfelt appreciation for supportive team

Sharing the photo, Radhika wrote, “And now my BAFTAs reality (laughing emoji) #breastfeeding #postpartum #breastpump.” She expressed gratitude towards her friend Natasha, who played a crucial role in making the event possible for her. “I have to thank Natasha @tashtash07 for scheduling the itinerary around my breast pumping timings. She not only accompanied me to the washroom to express milk but also brought me champagne in the loo (laughing emoji, red heart emoji). 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.”
