Radhika Apte and Benedict Taylor, who have been married since 2012, maintain a relatively private lifestyle despite their prominent careers in the entertainment industry.
The couple, who split their time between London and Mumbai, initially met in 2011 when Radhika was in London for a sabbatical focused on contemporary dance.
They lived together before tying the knot in a small ceremony in 2012, followed by an official celebration in 2013.

She recently made a cameo appearance in 'Merry Christmas', directed by Sriram Raghavan, which features stars Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi.
Furthermore, she is set to star in the revenge thriller series 'Akka', alongside Keethy Suresh, directed by debutante writer-director Dharmaraj Shetty.
'Sister Midnight', the film that marked her red carpet appearance, is described as a "genre-bending comedy" centred around a misanthropic newlywed who discovers primal instincts that lead her into unexpected scenarios.
The film premiered earlier this year at the Cannes Film Festival.
