Radhika
Apte
claims
the
film
industry
is
not
conducive
to
new
mothers
like
her.
Her
statement
comes
soon
after
Deepika
Padukone
was
ousted
from
Sandeep
Reddy
Vanga’s
Spirit
for
not
budging
from
her
eight-hour
work
day
due
to
motherhood,
among
other
demands.
When
Screen
magazine
asked
Radhika
if
the
film
industry
was
conducive
to
the
needs
of
new
mothers,
she
replied,
‘I
don’t
think
they
are.
I
don’t
know
how
I
am
going
to
navigate
that
going
ahead.’
‘It’s
really
difficult
to
work
in
our
film
industry,
given
the
number
of
hours
and
how
we
film
generally,
and
the
time
for
which
we
don’t
get
to
see
the
child.
So
I
guess
I’ll
just
have
to
figure
it
out
now,’
she
added.
Radhika
and
her
London-based
British
violinist
husband
Benedict
Taylor
had
a
baby
girl
in
December
2024.
On
the
acting
front,
Radhika
will
be
next
seen
in
Dharmaraj
Shetty’s
revenge
thriller
show
Akka
and
Justin
Lin’s
American
film
Last
Days,
which
premiered
at
the
Sundance
Film
Festival.
