Raveena Tandon recalls how she and Aishwarya Rai were fat-shamed for gaining weight post-pregnancy: ‘I want to nurse my baby, not go on a diet’

Whether it’s Raveena Tandon, Aishwarya Rai or even Kareena Kapoor, these actresses embraced motherhood at the peak of their careers. These heroines haven’t just balanced motherhood and work to perfection but also set the benchmark very high when it comes to parenting, financial independence, and romance. Despite it all, these heroines have been brutally trolled for not immediately losing their post-pregnancy weight immediately.
Raveena, who is currently riding high on the success of her latest film KGF: Chapter 2 went on to speak about the time when she and Aishwarya Rai were fat-shamed. She said, “I had put on a lot of weight, and I had just delivered my son, and I had already started working again. They were fat-shaming me, they were fat-shaming Aishwarya Rai. I said we’ve just had a baby. I want to nurse my baby, I don’t want to go on a diet.”
Speaking to Good Times, Raveena further states that a reporter had made unkind comments on her weight gain back in the day. Known to call spade a spade, Raveena chose to snap back at the journalist. She said, “I remember this journalist saying to me at a conference, ‘Arey Raveena ji, aap kitni moti ho gayi hai. Aap to mast mast hua karti thi, ab aap reality show kar rahi hai. So, I said, ‘Dekhiye bhai sahab, motapa to ghat jayega, lekin aapki surat kaise badal payegi?’
(Translation: Arey Raveena Ji, you have gained so much weight. You used to be so cool, and now you’re doing reality shows. So I said, “Brother I can reduce my weight, but what will you do about your face?)
On the work front, Raveena will next be seen in Ghudchadi.
