Ash’s Weight Issues? Let Her Be! Aishwarya Rai Bachchan surely is paying a heavy price to be one of the most beautiful women in the world and one of the top actors in Bollywood.

Don’t be surprised if you get to hear the words ‘leave me alone’ someday from the rooftop of Jalsa.  Aishwarya Rai Bachchan surely is paying a heavy price to be one of the most beautiful women in the world and one of the top actors in Bollywood. 

Lately I have been reading about all the flak and slamming that she has been receiving on her post baby weight. Critics are attacking her weighty issues left, right and centre and have even compared her to the likes of Victoria Beckhams  and Angelina Jolies who have bounced back to shape post pregnancy. If I’m not mistaken, these were the same critics who wrote about Ash being unable to conceive for reasons best known to them and were thrashed by Big B calling it ‘lowest quality of journalism’. 

I feel it’s time to let her BE. She has been surrounded and hounded just too many times at regular intervals in her life for being a celeb. This is HER moment. Motherhood is a blissful emotion, something that cannot be described in words. A mother shares the most beautiful and strong bond with her child. It makes her the happiest person on earth. She is in this happy space. Therefore focussing on and discussing the weight gain that comes with the package on a public platform is frivolous and irresponsible. Thankfully, she’s not one of those vanity struck stars who get wheeled into plastic surgery and liposuction rooms straight from the labour room.

I’m happy that she isn’t hiding or hibernating but facing the world with pride, dignity and class.

She has decided to nurse, nurture and invest her time in bringing up the baby than spend hours at the gym trying to look her skinniest best. 

And just like the mother, the baby is worth it!
