She said, “I don’t think they are. I don’t know how I’m going to navigate that going ahead.” This comment comes after Deepika exited Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Prabhas-starrer Spirit after seeking an 8-hour workday and a ramped up remuneration package for her role was not fulfilled. Ajay Devgn and Kajol endorsed her in public, while Saif also shared his thoughts on prioritising family time.
Radhika added, “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 going back and forth between Mumbai and London for a while.
Radhika Apte’s take on motherhood
Radhika, welcomed a baby girl in December 2024. She stated the wave of emotions in conversation with ANI, “I was very prepared for postpartum, actually. And I had also made sure that my friends and family were aware that if I went into postpartum depression, they needed to support me. To my own surprise, I was just purely elated when I had a child. And fortunately, I didn’t suffer from severe depression at any point.”
