Image has a lot to do with who you are, especially when you're a celebrity. And however, sad it may be, it's the truth. Women, in the entertainment business, are constantly judged by their appearance and the criticism starts to escalate post-pregnancy. It's no easy task housing a helpless human inside of you and then nurturing it even. And well, we believe that our B-Town actresses seem to do it effortlessly. However, not everyone thinks that way. There are body-shamers out there just waiting to troll our actresses for their bodies and how they look. One such actress who underwent body-shaming happens to be one of the world's most beautiful women, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Soon after giving birth to her daughter Aaradhya in 2011, the public scrutiny of her body began. She was criticised for not losing the post-pregnancy kilos right away. And in a recent interview, she opened up about this.
She said, "It’s not just been post motherhood. Contextually, post motherhood, you are referring to specifically body-shaming. Because you are looking at it from that aspect of the body frame changing. I am talking about the reason I was able to handle it because I have faced judgement in my life for so long."
Ash has been in the limelight ever since she bagged the Miss World crown in 1994 and she has always been a private person. She even joined Instagram only in May 2018, years after her peers did. In another interview, Ash even opened up about self-doubt, saying, "I’m so happy in my own life with Aaradhya around and the positivity as well as clarity that I have in my head about myself. At the end of the day, these are the choices I’m making. Nobody else is dictating or telling me how to be and what to do," she said.
