Acclaimed actress Radhika Apte is expecting her first child with her husband, music composer Benedict Taylor. Apte shared the happy news in a subtle yet stunning way during her appearance at the BFI London Film Festival on October 16, 2024. The actress proudly displayed her baby bump on the red carpet while attending the premiere of her latest film, Sister Midnight.
Dressed in an elegant black off-shoulder midi dress, Apte looked radiant as she posed for photos, later posting them on her social media. Though she didn’t directly mention her pregnancy in the caption, the images spoke for themselves, and fans were quick to shower her with love. One fan commented, “Congrats on the premiere and your pregnancy! You are magnificent on the red carpet,” while another added, “Gorgeous. Congratulations, Mumma Midnight too,” blending well-wishes for both her film and her exciting new journey into motherhood.
Radhika Apte and Benedict Taylor, who have been married since 2012, are known for keeping their personal lives private. The couple, who live between London and Mumbai, met in 2011 when Apte was in London for a contemporary dance sabbatical. They tied the knot a year later in a small ceremony and have since enjoyed a relatively low-profile life together.
On the professional front, Apte has been keeping busy. She recently made a cameo appearance in Merry Christmas alongside Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi and will soon be seen in the upcoming revenge thriller series Akka, co-starring Keerthy Suresh. Sister Midnight, the film that marked her red carpet appearance, has been making waves since its premiere at Cannes earlier this year. Described as a “genre-bending comedy,” it explores the life of a misanthropic newlywed, taking audiences on an unexpected journey through primal instincts and surreal scenarios.
As Apte steps into this exciting new chapter, her fans and colleagues eagerly await her new projects and the arrival of her first child.
