Radhika, who became a mother in December last year with her husband, musician Benedict Taylor, has now opened up about the emotional tides she experienced after giving birth.In an interview with ANI, Radhika revealed that she had prepared herself to face the challenges of postpartum. “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,” she explained.Radhika about the glamorous side of parentingThe actor didn’t hesitate to speak about the less glamorous side of parenting, describing the emotional upheavals that many new parents go through. “It’s so difficult to look after a child 24/7. It’s such a huge change in your life that there are many days and moments of feeling terribly low and lost, as well as feeling elated and in love with your child. There are moments when you have no idea what you think, and you feel emotionally quite tired and low,” she revealed.Radhika added that sleep deprivation also fuels the emotional imbalance. She admitted that it is very natural to feel the emotional tide during that period.About Sister MidnightOn the work front, ‘Sister Midnight’, starring Radhika, was previously premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023.
