Behind
the
glamorous
picture
comes
the
reality,
and
Radhika
shows
it
to
the
world.
‘And
now
my
BAFTAs
reality
#breastfeeding
#postpartum
#breastpump
I
have
to
thank
Natasha
@tashtash07
for
making
it
possible
for
me
to
attend
the
BAFTAs,’
she
writes.
‘She
scheduled
the
itinerary
around
my
breast
pumping
timings.
She
not
only
accompanied
me
to
the
washroom
to
express
milk
but
more
importantly
brought
me
champagne
in
the
loo.
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.’
Kalki
Koechlin
comments,
‘Hear
hear
we
love
those
who
actively
help
us
through
this
insane
early
phase
of
motherhood.’
