Radhika Apte on film industry and motherhood

When asked if the film industry is conducive to new mothers like her, Radhika said, “I don’t think they are. I don’t know how I’m going to navigate that going ahead.” This comes after reports of Deepika recently turning down Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Prabhas-starrer Spirit after her requests for an 8-hour workday and a better remuneration package weren’t met. Ajay Devgn and Kajol publicly supported her, while Saif also advocated prioritising family time.

Radhika claimed that it was difficult to balance her work and new motherhood, stating, “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.” The actor has been splitting her time between Mumbai and London for a while now, making it even more difficult.
