Radhika Apte pumps breastmilk in bathroom during BAFTAs 2025, holds champagne glass

Radhika Apte made her first public appearance after giving birth as she attended the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) on February 16, 2025, at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Hosted by David Tennant, the event saw Apte’s film Sister Midnight nominated in the Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director, or Producer category.

After walking the red carpet,  two months postpartum, the actress gave her fans a glimpse of her ‘BAFTA’s reality’ as she pumped breastmilk in the bathroom. In the candid moment, she was also seen holding a glass of champagne while posing for the photo. In the caption, Radhika wrote, “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 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 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,” she added.

Reacting to the photo, actress Kalki Koechlin commented, “Hear hear we love those who actively help us through this insane early phase of motherhood.” Earlier on Tuesday, Apte shared photos from the 78th BAFTA Awards, revealing that she was surviving on only 2 hours of sleep. “Sister Midnight at the BAFTAs. Big congratulations to @deathpunkbaby for the nomination. First big outing after birth.. 2 months postpartum.. 2 hours of sleep.. I couldn’t have done it without the fabulous people in the team. THANK YOU,” wrote Apte.
