Radhika Apte who is presently engaging her audiences with her acting chops in the Hrithik Roshan starrer film Vikram Vedha is hard-pressed for time when it comes to inducing romance in her life with her musician husband. Married to Benedict Taylor, the two of them have always enjoyed long-distance love and relationship. A report on indianexpress.com talked about Radhika opening up on her relationship and we take reference from that story for our write up here.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Radhika, who is now majorly based out of London and was recently in India to promote her latest Vikram Vedha, opened about her marriage and said, “long distance relationship is really hard”, but a couple can find a way to make it work with love and if they are on the same page.
“I had a long-distance marriage till COVID happened. Now we are spending so much time together, it is marriage chapter two! In the beginning, it was so sad to be away, it was really heartbreaking. Now again I think, ‘Oh my God I won’t be able to see him for a bit’ that really hurts me. But we are trying to spend more time now,” she said.
“Long distance relationship is really hard. But if you want to make it work, you can make it work. We made it work; I don’t know how. We wanted the same thing, loved each other’s company. Giving each other freedom is the most important thing. And giving yourself freedom- to change, think differently, want whatever you want. To accept yourself of who you are and then you’ll accept the other person. That’s something I have learnt about any successful relationship,” she added.
So very true!!
