Radhika Apte On Going Through Body Image Issues
During a recent interview with Vogue India, Radhika Apte revealed that even though her pregnancy wasn’t planned, it wasn’t an accident. But it still came as a shock to her. She admitted struggling with her appearance during that time. Apte talked about how the swollen body and the stark pain in her pelvis changed her entire perspective of her body.
She continued by revealing how her body looked different not even two weeks into motherhood. But with time, she has softened again. She stated even with many challenges, she looked at her pictures more kindly. “I feel bad for being so hard on myself. I see only beauty in those changes, and I know I’ll cherish these photos forever,” she said.
Radhika Apte revealed how parenthood wasn’t a plan for her and her husband Benedict Taylor. She stated how it’s easier for people who are certain about wanting or not wanting kids. Apte said that neither of them wanted a kid, but that one per cent curiosity kept them wanting.
Talking about her sudden pregnancy reveal at the BFI London Film Festival, Radhika Apte narrated how her hormones led her there. She said that even though she was shooting at a beautiful resort in Thailand, all she wanted to do was stand next to her husband.
