news desk – Many Bollywood stars participated in the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations of the Ambani family. During this time Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif were also seen. This was Katrina's first public appearance after delivery. The actress wore a long Anarkali gown. She completed her look with straight hair and a big bindi.
The video of Vicky and Katrina went viral rapidly on social media. However, during this time some users started trolling Katrina about her postpartum look and increased weight. After this, the fans of the actress came out in her support and responded fiercely to the trolls.
Fans came to Katrina's defense
While sharing Katrina's video, an X user asked why women start ignoring their self-care after pregnancy. After this post the user received a lot of criticism. People said that changes in the body after pregnancy and delivery are normal and no woman should be judged for her looks.
Fans also said that Katrina is not 20 years old but 40 years old. They do not need to fit into any specific body or beauty standard. As a new mother, she is taking care of her child and during this time, changes in her body are natural.
Writer Sakshi Narula also defended
Writer Sakshi Narula responded to the troll by defending Katrina. He wrote that no one has the right to decide whether Katrina is taking care of herself or not. He said that Katrina is looking very beautiful and it is normal for women's body to change after pregnancy.
Sakshi questioned why a 40-50 year old woman is expected to look like a 20 year old girl. She said that women do not need to fit into the body and beauty standards created by social media users.
He further wrote that Katrina is a new mother and is raising her child. In such a situation, people should understand the problems of women and not make unnecessary comments on their body and looks.
Trolling also happened regarding makeup
Commenting on Katrina's make-up, another user described her as 'neighbourhood sister-in-law'. On this, Sakshi Narula sarcastically replied that Katrina is Vicky Kaushal's wife, hence she is the user's 'sister-in-law'.
When a user compared Katrina with Malaika Arora, Sakshi said that every woman's body is different and everyone's circumstances are also different. He clarified that Katrina is a new mother, while Malaika is at a different stage of her life. Therefore it is not right to compare the two.
Questions raised on comparison with Alia Bhatt
A user shared pictures of Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif together on social media. People also objected to this comparison. Users said that Katrina is about 10 years older than Alia and it is unfair to compare the two.
In this way, amidst the trolling that started regarding Katrina Kaif's postpartum look, many social media users stood in her support. Fans appealed to people to show sensitivity towards new mothers instead of commenting on their bodies and looks.
