Benedict Taylor is not just Radhika’s partner; he is a gifted musician in his own right. Hailing from Britain, Taylor is an avant-garde violist, violinist, and composer who has made a name for himself in contemporary composition and modern string performance. His impressive portfolio spans a wide array of artistic domains, including live shows, film soundtracks, theater productions, contemporary dance, art installations, and electroacoustic pieces.
In addition to his contributions to the British and European music scenes, Benedict has also crafted unique music for various Indian projects like Udta Punjab, Paatal Lok, Son Chiriya, Qarib Qarib Single, and Nil Battey Sannata, to name a few. Collaborating with musician Naren, they form the duo ‘Naren & Benedict.’ Despite his professional success, Benedict prefers to keep his personal life out of the public eye.
Reports suggest that Taylor and Apte’s love story began in 2011 when they crossed paths in London, where Radhika was pursuing her studies in contemporary dance. Despite the challenges of a long-distance relationship, especially before the pandemic, the couple has managed to nurture their bond. In a previous interview, Radhika revealed that they made it a priority to see each other every month, with one of them traveling between India and London.
After successfully navigating the hurdles of their demanding careers, Radhika and Benedict exchanged vows in 2012. A year later, they hosted a small ceremony to commemorate their union. According to India Today, Radhika humorously mentioned that everyone was so engrossed in the celebrations that no one remembered to take any photos.
Both Radhika and Benedict prefer to keep a low profile when it comes to their personal lives. They rarely share updates on social media and maintain a discreet presence in the public eye. The couple’s love story is a testament to their commitment to each other, their careers, and their journey into parenthood.
