Along with it, she revealed how an itinerary was scheduled so that she could attend BAFTA.

The actress wrote along with the picture, "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 the loo.

After the post was shared, netizens were seen reacting to it. Some supported Radhika while others slammed her for drinking champagne while pumping breast milk. A user wrote, "I am sorry to say Radhika but you are giving a wrong message through this pic. If you are expressing milk while drinking ,there is a very high chance that the alcohol will be expressed in the milk and will be transferred to your baby . It is very unhealthy for the baby." Another user wrote, "It's perfectly fine to drink a glass of wine every now and then while breastfeeding. My gynaecologist who is a specialist said there are no issues what so ever." One of the users asked, "Who drinks champagne while while breastfeeding?"
