Swara Bhasker reflects on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s experience with post-baby body shaming: ‘If they targeted her, what chance do I have?’ | Hindi Movie News

Ah, the glitzy world of Bollywood where every move is watched, and every pound is counted! 🎬✨

So, Swara Bhasker, our outspoken diva, has been in the headlines again. This time, it’s not for her bold roles or her fiery tweets but for something even more personal—body shaming. After becoming a mom in September 2023, Swara decided to open up about the relentless scrutiny women in the public eye face. And guess who she compared her experience to? None other than Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the epitome of beauty herself. 🏆

Swara had a heart-to-heart with BBC News India, where she poured out her thoughts on how women, especially in the glamour industry, can never catch a break. "It’s like you’ve signed an invisible contract with the public to be perfect 24/7," she mused. And honestly, who can disagree? 🤷‍♀️

She took us down memory lane, recalling how Aishwarya was mercilessly criticized for her post-baby body after giving birth to her daughter, Aaradhya. The paparazzi had a field day capturing unflattering angles, and the tabloids had their pens ready to jot down every imperfection. Yet, Aishwarya handled it with grace that would put a swan to shame. "I was just living my life with my baby… my real life," Aishwarya had said. And if the world’s most beautiful woman wasn’t spared, Swara wondered, "Who the hell am I?"

But Swara isn’t just sitting around pondering. She’s been celebrating her new chapter, sharing gorgeous maternity photos, and even roping in her husband, Fahad Ahmad, to join the fun. She thanked him for being her "reluctant yet sporting model," proving that behind every strong woman, there’s a supportive partner—sometimes reluctantly posing for photos! 📸

Swara and Fahad tied the knot in February 2023, embracing their diverse backgrounds under the Special Marriage Act. Their little bundle of joy, Raabiyaa, arrived in September, making their life a beautiful mix of diapers and debates. Swara’s last on-screen stint was in "Mimamsa" (2022), but with motherhood and activism taking center stage, who knows what she’ll tackle next? 🎭

Nisha’s Nutshell: In Bollywood, where beauty is worshipped like a deity, even goddesses aren’t immune to criticism. Moral of the story? If Aishwarya can be body-shamed, maybe our society needs a hefty dose of self-reflection instead of unsolicited opinions. ✨🤔
