On Instagram, Radhika posted a photo with her baby boy in her arms. Alongside the photo, she reflected on the invaluable advice passed down from her mother, which read, “My mom gave me the best piece of advice on motherhood. She told me that no mother is a bad mother. You can be poor, rich, educated, uneducated, working, not working, but not a bad mother. No mother wants less than the best for her child.”

Accompanying the photo was a caption that read, “If you are ever feeling mom guilt because you’re stuck at work too long or took on a new project or even just took out time for yourself while managing a child… remember this!”

Previously, during an interview with ETimes about motherhood, Radhika revealed that being a mom can be chaotic. She believes being a mom shouldn't stop you from trying new things, whether at work or elsewhere. She's grateful for the support system that helps her manage. “Even as I am doing this press con, my son is here. When I was getting my hair and makeup done, he was in the suite and he spent a lot of time on the Shark Tank sets. He stayed with me,” she added.
