A Blast from the Past: Aishwarya Rai Shrugs off Trolls Criticizing Her Post-Pregnancy Weight Gain; Wishes Them Enjoyment in the Drama
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has captured our hearts for a long time and has embraced her true self without any reservations. Despite facing criticism, the former Miss World once confessed that she wasn’t affected by the negative comments about her weight gain after pregnancy. Recently, the diva graced the ramp at Paris Fashion Week 2024, looking stunning and reminding us of an interview where she bravely defended her true self.
In a 2015 interview with British journalist David Frost, Aishwarya Rai spoke out against body shaming, stating, “I wasn’t bothered by it. If others were, well, I hope they enjoyed the drama because I was busy living a real life with my baby.” She mentioned that the positive outcome was women reaching out to her and thanking her for boosting their confidence.
The Devdas star explained that she never set out to prove a point but was simply being authentic. Aishwarya Rai welcomed her first child in 2011 with husband Abhishek Bachchan. Their daughter, Aaradhya, is often seen accompanying her mother everywhere.
In the same interview, Aishwarya addressed her weight gain, attributing it to natural changes in her body. She emphasized that she was comfortable and accepted her body as it was. Despite the option to lose weight quickly through science, she chose to embrace her natural self and changes, setting an example for beauty with purpose.
On the professional front, Aishwarya Rai was last seen in the Ponniyin Selvan franchise.
