Apte’s pregnancy revelation delighted fans, as she shared her experience at the festival through social media, posting photos that captured her radiant presence on the red carpet. While she did not directly mention her pregnancy in the caption—simply stating, “SISTER MIDNIGHT UK Premier #lff2024”—the images showed her in a stunning black off-shoulder midi dress, with her hair elegantly styled in a bun.
Fans quickly flooded social media with congratulations and well-wishes. One admirer exclaimed, “Ah! Congrats on the premiere and your pregnancy! You are magnificent on the red carpet.” Another added, “Gorgeous. Congratulations Mumma Midnight too,” celebrating both her film premiere and her impending motherhood.
Radhika Apte and Benedict Taylor, who have been married since 2012, maintain a relatively private lifestyle despite their prominent careers in the entertainment industry. The couple, who splits their time between London and Mumbai, first met in 2011 when Radhika was in London for a sabbatical focused on contemporary dance. They lived together before tying the knot in a small ceremony in 2012, followed by an official celebration in 2013.
In addition to her exciting personal news, Apte is currently involved in several projects. She recently made a cameo appearance in Merry Christmas, directed by Sriram Raghavan, which features stars Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi. Furthermore, she is set to star in the revenge thriller series Akka, alongside Keerthy Suresh, directed by debutante writer-director Dharmaraj Shetty.
