Renowned for her powerful performances in critically acclaimed films such as “Padman”, “Andhadhun”, and “Monica O My Darling”, Radhika Apte is now set to step behind the camera. The versatile artiste is making her directorial debut with an action-fantasy film titled Kotya.

Radhika Apte, renowned for her diverse roles in films, tends to keep her personal life out of the public eye. Recently, she surprised her followers by posting the first photo of her one-week-old baby to announce her journey into motherhood.

Dressed in a sleek black off-shoulder midi dress, Apte captured the attention of attendees and fans alike, marking her re-entry into the spotlight after a noticeable hiatus from the film industry. While she had not officially announced her pregnancy, her radiant smile and growing baby bump spoke volumes, dispelling the mystery surrounding her absence from public life.

Radhika Apte, who's latest film “Phobia” hit screens this Friday, said that a genuine love for acting is what brought her to the film industry and not the dream of becoming a big Bollywood star.

For an actress who has worked in films in seven languages even before turning 30, Radhika has a hunger to excel in unexpected roles.
