Neha Dhupia to Rupali Ganguly: TV actress who got trolled for gaining weight while embracing motherhood

Giving birth to a newborn is a tough process, and a woman's body must go through several stages in order to do so. The woman puts on weight during the pregnancy, but people on social media, target these women, particularly celebrities because of their baby weight. Many TV celebrities have fallen prey to body shaming. Take a look:

Neha gave birth to a baby girl named Mehr Dhupia Bedi. She was mercilessly trolled for being pregnant before their wedding during their first pregnancy. She now gave birth to a baby boy, and the trollers did not spare them this time too. Neha Dhupia and her husband Angad Bedi announced their second pregnancy on their Instagram accounts. Neha could be seen showing off her baby belly while Angad held their daughter, Mehr, in his arms in the photo. Neha Dhupia received outrage a few years ago when she said, "It's her choice," after becoming enraged at a contestant auditioning for her show, Roadies. While one user commented on Neha and Angad's photo, "Phirse??...ok it's her choice BTW," another troller commented, "Moti ho gyi, but it's her choice."

Meri Aashiqui Tumse Hi fame Smriti Khanna gave birth to a baby girl in April 2020. Smriti was bashed brutually by trollers during her maternity period. She surprised everyone when she posted a post-pregnancy photo in which she appeared slim. Many people assumed her abs in the picture were photoshopped. Smriti, on the other hand, retaliated by posting a video that revealed her real shape. She also raised her middle finger to the trollers.

Ginni Chatrath, Kapil Sharma's wife, was also trolled while giving birth to their daughter Anayra Sharma. The comedian and his wife Ginni had gone to see a movie. Pictures from their movie date went viral on social media, and she was mercilessly criticised for it. However, a few people stood in support of her and stated that baby weight is normal. No one would want to go to a phase as this supermom did.

Rupali Ganguly, who has returned to acting after a seven-year break with Anupamaa, also shared her experience with body shaming while giving birth to her son Rudransh. She said that elderly women in her neighborhood judged her. She also shared that her neighborhood aunties used to come to her and say, "‘Arre, tum toh Monisha ho, kitni moti ho gayi ho." Ruapli never let these trolls take a toll on her and gave a bewitching reply to them every time.

After giving birth to a baby girl, Tara, Mahhi Vij has been the target of online trolls and body shaming. It was never taken seriously by the actress, and she always gave it back. She also wrote a post about body shaming in which she highlighted all of the harsh comments she received after becoming a mother. She mentioned in her post that Body-shaming is not at all okay, even to new moms and everyone should stop it. The trolls targeted Mahhi when she appeared on Bigg Boss 13 wearing a green casual maxi dress. People started trolling her after she shared a photo with Salman Khan. Mahhi once shared that even after her delivery, people made comments like you’d look gorgeous if you put down some weight.

Diya Aur Bati Hum actress Deepika Singh, who gave birth to a boy, Soham in 2017, was also harshly attacked on social media. The trolls wrote nasty comments on her picture During her pregnancy, Deepika's weight was 73 kgs and she took to Instagram to share her pictures. trolls attacked her with derogatory comments such as "no one would ever cast her in a lead role, she looks so bad and fat, she could have waited" and so on. Deepika didn't let the trolls affect her. She took screenshots of all the trolls and made it her wallpaper. These trolls inspired her to hit the gym and work out regularly.
