In 2011, the wonderful duo Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan became proud parents to their little one, Aaradhya Bachchan. But amidst the happiness and warm wishes, there was something quite unpleasant that grabbed the spotlight – the harsh judgment around Aishwarya`s post-pregnancy weight gain. It`s crazy how the world can sometimes focus on all the wrong things, right? Well, Aishwarya didn`t let the negativity bring her down. She`s actually spoken up about how some good came out of all that trolling.
During a candid conversation with British journalist David Frost in 2015, Aishwarya discussed the hurtful practice of body-shaming. She shared her perspective, saying, "It was natural in my case; that was the natural turn that my body took in terms of whether I gained weight or I had water retention or whatever else that goes with the space. I was comfortable, and that’s why I have been who I have been. I stepped out in public when I could take time out from my baby, and if I did think it was a big deal, I would have been in hiding or would have done something about it.”
