Radhika Apte has taken netizens by surprise by announcing the birth of her first child with husband Benedict Taylor. On Instagram, the actress shared a heartwarming picture of herself breastfeeding her one-week-old baby while attending her first work meeting after giving birth.

In her Instagram post, she wrote, "First work meeting back after birth with our one week old at my breast #breastfeeding #mothersatwork #averybeautifulchapter #bliss @benedmusic ♥️."

Although Radhika had subtly revealed her pregnancy by showcasing her baby bump at the UK premiere of her film Sister Midnight in October, she chose not to make an official announcement until now. She has not disclosed the gender of her baby, leaving fans eagerly awaiting more details. Despite keeping her pregnancy private, the actress' latest post gives fans a glimpse of her newborn, marking a special moment in her personal life.

The announcement received an outpouring of congratulations from celebrities and fans alike. Actress Ira Dubey commented, "Congratulations beautiful mama ! ❤️❤️," while Gulshan Devaiah wrote, "Congratulations 🥳." Other well-wishers included Divyenndu Sharma, Tisca Chopra, Vijay Varma, Neeraj Gheywan, and Zoya Akhtar, who also expressed their joy at the news.

Radhika and Benedict, who tied the knot in 2012, have maintained a private life, with Benedict being an avant-garde violist, violinist and composer. On the professional front, Radhika’s most recent film Sister Midnight marks a significant professional milestone as she balances her return to work with her new role as a mother.
