"I haven’t slept for five nights. The third-trimester insomnia has kicked in, and I just don't get any sleep, so it's been quite bad. People were telling me you need to be happy because you're having a child. I wanted to punch them. I'm telling you that I'm suffering and you're telling me to be happy."
In the same interview, the Sacred Games actress also said that she never had any plans to have kids. It was a big turning point in her life, and it was a lot for her to process. Radhika had not taken her pregnancy journey seriously or had not introspected about the changes that the body undergoes. She felt that pregnancy was hard and that nobody ever told her the truth. In her words:
"Pregnancy is not fun. Some people have a better pregnancy; for some, it's easier than other people. But it's a very subjective case. Pregnancy is very hard, and bodies constantly go through very big changes. So, it's been a hard journey. I do not wish to lie about it. It's been very hard to prepare yourself psychologically and physically for what is coming, especially if you're a very active person."
In the same interview, Radhika revealed that her husband, a London-based musician, Benedict Taylor never wanted to have children. The pair was shocked and could not digest the fact until two weeks later when they were ready to embrace parenthood. Radhika agreed that she and Benedict do not know how to dress a baby. However, the Raat Akeli Hai actress agreed that her husband has been very supportive throughout her pregnancy. He cared a lot for her and got her everything she felt like eating.
When Radhika was in her first trimester, she was working on a project where there was no consideration or levy that she was pregnant. She had not encountered good people. However, when she was doing another project, people took good care of her. They were considerate, and the actress did not feel that she was in a difficult spot.
