Soundarya Rajinikanth Slams Katrina Kaif's Body-Shamers
· Entertainment · Indian Express, NDTV
Actor and filmmaker Soundarya Rajinikanth has spoken out against the online trolling and body-shaming directed at Katrina Kaif following her post-pregnancy appearance. Speaking on a YouTube channel, Soundarya stated that the criticism was neither fair nor kind, drawing from her own experience as a mother of two. She emphasized the physical toll of pregnancy, particularly after the age of 35, and asserted that women deserve respect for the physical demands of childbirth. Katrina faced intense scrutiny online after stepping out for the Ambani family's Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in September. Several other celebrities, including Salman Khan, Parineeti Chopra, and Khushbu Sundar, have previously defended her against the backlash.
Why it matters
The incident highlights the ongoing issue of online harassment and unrealistic beauty standards targeting women in the public eye after pregnancy. Such statements from prominent figures help draw attention to the social stigma surrounding postpartum body changes.
