Radhika 'Radha' Patil, known by her stage and social media identity as Radha Mumbaikar, is a Marathi Lavani dancer and stage performer from Mumbai, Maharashtra. A practitioner of Maharashtra's traditional Lavani folk dance form — characterised by fast rhythms, strong footwork, bold expressions, and narrative song — she quickly built a reputation for a performance style that blends classical Lavani tradition with contemporary flair. She first gained widespread public attention through a viral video of her performance at a Dahi Handi festival in Borivali, Mumbai, after which her social media following grew rapidly. With over 750,000 Instagram followers under the handle @radha_mumbaikar_, she has become a prominent voice for Lavani culture in the digital age. Fans have affectionately dubbed her 'Lavani Samratin' (Queen of Lavani), a title that reflects the reverence in which she is held within the folk performance community. In January 2026, she entered Bigg Boss Marathi Season 6 as one of the original contestants. She was eliminated in Week 2, finishing twenty-first and the first to leave the season.
